The story of my crazy neighbour

Yesterday a constable from Animal Bylaw came to my house to take some pictures of Liam's legs. She spent a few minutes chatting, asking Liam about what happened with the dog and all. She then went out to her truck to get some statement forms so Liam could dictate his statement to me. She was gone awhile, and then I could hear my neighbour yelling. Turns out that his dog was running around outdoors without a leash. In Edmonton a dog has to be on a leash unless it is in a backyard or an off leash area, in our community's own bylaws a dog must be on a leash unless its in the yard. So this woman says "Your dog needs to be on a leash." and he freaks out, apparently saying that he is our bylaw officer and that our rules supercede the city's. Um, yeah, whatever. He was going on and on at her as she walked up my path.

Him: Move your vehicle. (She happened to be parked in an unmarked no parking spot.)
Her: I will when I am done.
Him: MOVE YOUR VEHICLE.
Her: Sir, do not yell at me.
Me: Oh, come on, Jason, like your guests don't ever park there.
Him: You have no idea what's going on! She started with me! (What is he? 7?)
Me: I assume it has something to do with your dog, but she is hear because Liam was bit by a dog.
Her: Your dog was unleashed, I asked you to take it inside.
Him: To me- Good for him. To her- MOVE YOUR VEHICLE NOW!!!!!!!!!! I'll call bylaw myself.
Her: Go right ahead.
Me: That's fine, Jason, and then next time you have vehicles parked one, two, three, four along I'll be calling bylaw as well.
Him: I'm going to go write you up a fine right now. (Starts to walk away)
Her (laughing): Go ahead.
Me (laughing as well): I am so sorry about him, he's an eejit.
Her: I guess I'll be looking to see if that dog has a license.
Me: I can almost guarantee you it doesn't.

She went back to her truck and was in there ages. I didn't see Jason come out with the "fine" but I did eventually see the police arrive, as well as another animal control officer. The police talked to Jason and his wife, and she was checking up on our neighbourhood. Turns out no one on my side has a license for their pet. She's not looking to go after all my neighbours, just him. And he so deserves it. If she had been a male officer, he would have said "Oh, sure, sorry, I'll take him in now." and that would have been the end of it. The reality is he's a sexist pig and deserves to have the stack of fines that are now coming his way. I hear at least $500 and hopefully there will be something for verbally harrassing her.

Honestly, though, it made my day to see him brought down like that. I have never minded him, although there are people here who absolutely hate him, thinking he's a sexist and that he spends too much time with the teenage girls in the neighbourhood. Which he does, by far. He totally takes advantage of his position as bylaw officer, letting his house get away with all sorts of shit, and only going after infractions by people he does not like.

I laugh just thinking about it.
