Rude neighbors and good friends

So as you know I've been recovering rather slowly with a back issue.  My surgeon pulled me out of work for a few more weeks to give me some time to recover and for me to go to physical therapy.  I went to this physical therapist before my last surgery and he was fantastic.  
I've still been taking care of the barnyard critters and hanging out with them as much as I can.  I've been blessed with great friends who will do anything for me including taking an entire Saturday to sit in the ER with me and laugh over how stoned I was from the pain meds.  I have friends calling and asking if I need anything or just to see how I'm doing.  That is a true blessing, to have friends like that.  I don't take it for granted and their friendships are one of the most important things in the world to me.  I also feel that way about my animals, especially my sweet chocolate lab, Hunter.  Hunter is loyal and affectionate.  There isn't a person in the world who doesn't get a tail wagging greeting from Hunter and I swear this dog actually smiles at people.  Enter the princess who lives next door.  You know the type.  Blonde, probably out of a bottle.  Muffin top because her jeans need to be one size bigger than what she is wearing.  Constantly on her iphone with the pink case, and an annoying whiny tone every time she opens her mouth.  Princess and her boyfriend have a black lab that Hunter loves to play with.  Occasionally the other lab comes here to play or Hunter goes next door.  Yesterday the two dogs were playing in a little kiddie pool full of water and ran past the princess who proceeded to gasp and scream "SERIOUSLY"?????  I wanted to tell her, "No, not seriously"  But instead I stood there and just stared at her hoping she would get how childish she was being.  She loves to yell at Hunter, who just wants to be her friend.  She hates her own dog who ignores her and if you know labs they don't ignore anyone.  This is very telling to me.  What gets me is her constant raving and ranting and general rudeness but my husband expects me to suck it up and not stand up for myself or in this case my dog.  I say too bad.  She needs to get some manners.  She is a mere child of thirty and I am not taking the nonsense from her.  If I love someone or in this case, my sweet Hunter, I will protect them like a mama tiger.  She has made my tiger claws come out and I am in no mood.  So for now I just wait for one more word from her....Just one more
