An issue taking me out of awareness

Another ego attack, God what do i do. It's been raining lately and my two dear ones have been coming into our front-yard and sitting there. The top lady has complained, I told her to keep the gate closed. I told her i don't feed them here. They don't keep the gate closed, and someone or other leaves it open. The top floor lady has suddenly become very aggressive and belligerent.
Had it been anything else, I could have dealt, but anything to do with the dog's health or lives, or threat to them, and the mind goes hyper-active.

I have many things i could argue back with them, however, that would put me deeper into mind mode. I know i have to find the way using love and forgiving. At the same time, whatever happens I have to remain present. I cannot let the mind take over. the mind can only think of attack, of revenge, of retribution, of hitting back, of hurting...

Lord, help me stay in awareness, and help me do the right thing. I know that You will protect the dear ones. Everything is in your hands. I have only the illusion of doer-ship. However, i still somehow feel their lives are in my hands. I need clarity in this. I have to wake up in this life and asap, so i can serve you. i cannot tolerate this "self" mode, this "me and mine" mode of living.
