I'm posting this purely because I need to have a bit of a whinge!
We had a phone call last night to say my Nan had fallen over and broken her pelvis in 2 places but they can't operate as she is too old and probably wouldn't come round so they're trying to deal with it through physio and rehabilitation. She's in care home normally as she has severe alzheimers, my Mum and her sister took the decision after my Nan had fallen and broken her back twice and was found wandering around the streets a few times at 2am etc saying she was going to work. Anyway, Gary, my parents, Jess and I drove down to Essex last night to see her and stayed over night.
My parents have been staying with us since November as Dad had a job here but hadn't managed to find a house. They're moving out on the 25th January. We have 2 dogs and so do my parents, so we got one of our friends to come and stay with the 4 of them overnight. He had to leave at 1:30 this afternoon and we got back at 4:30.
We got back with Jess crying for her dinner and our next door neighbour ran out having a right go at us as apparently every day the dogs bark from 1-4 (I'm home most days and the only time they bark is if someone comes in the garden or is being particularly noisy outside) and that one of them keeps trying to bite her hand through the fence (we have a dog flap so they can go in and out the side garden and the kitchen), all the dogs are really gentle, they do bark and one is a german shepherd so she looks dangerous but they aren't at all. Also, the only hole in the fence (which is their fence) is right at the bottom and not big enough for the dogs snout so she would have had to put her hand through if that were true! She said she'd had enough so had thrown a jug of water over them and was telling us incase we wandered why the back bit was wet. I apologised as was desperate to get Jess in, got inside and the kitchen looked like it had flooded! There was a puddle by the dog flap that was about 3ft by 2ft and then the rest of it was covered in wet muddy paw prints, the side bit was just one giant puddle, I think they must have put a hose over and it's hit the dog flap and come through. As we've opened the kitchen door the dogs were completely over excited and ran through and jumped up covering the living room floor with mud and our clothes so I've just had to spend an hour mopping the kitchen and scrubbing the living room carpet! I'm absolutely fuming with her, what did she think soaking them would do anyway?!
It was the last thing I needed after getting back from seeing Nan.

that was of course only the start of it. She'd also get angry and frustrated if anybody questioned her as obviously she didn't know the answer, so we argued a lot, but I just hope now she realises how much I really did love her and how guilty I do feel.

Hopefully what you said to her will make her think twice if she hears your dogs barking again and goes to throw water in your house! 
Cheeky cow!!!! Hope your nan is ok.
