Since I have to sleep from 8:30 to 4:00 everyday, getting woke up all the time like this is becoming a problem now. It doesn't help that my bedroom is right next to where their dog does this.

They are great neighbors BTW. Never had an issue until this.

Tats blazing, no shirt, sweating like a whore in church and at one point told me he'd been to prison 3 times. I told him in some direct form that this information did not make me nervous and that he didn't make me nervous, which kind of took him back a step I think.

I then said "just so there is no confusion, what I meant was, If that ****ing dog comes back in my yard, I will kill it in front of you. I care more about keeping my kids safe than pissing you off and if that pisses you off, I don't give a shit"

In short....My experience has been that asking nice never works out because they're pissed off anyway.


Meatball the canine and say nothing.

It boggles my mind. I'm sure a lot of people simply put the burden on the neighbor to complain if it's an issue, but I cannot understand how people think it's okay if their dog sits outside for hours at a time barking at everything that moves. I've thought about mowing my lawn at 7am on a Saturday to see if they're okay with that... :shrug:

Most dog people appear to be fairly oblivious to how other people are affected by their pets.

Be it barking, shitting, or bringing them overnight into the homes of people with no inside pets or letting them bark at babies.

Try to ask nicely, but don't be surprised when they are butt sore and act accordingly.

Had a neighbor with a ****ing beagle that did that non stop barking all day long and when they left her out at night, all night long. Dude was a preacher man and was married to some gal from Norway? One of those European countries where you take the name of your wife along with your name when you marry one of them. Anyway, the other neighbors were bitching and moaning about the damn dog too, so I wrote up a nice little letter informing them of how their dog was making everyone else's life miserable and that we all really enjoyed having them as neighbors and didn't want trouble. Even offerred to buy them a bark collar if we could to help rectify the situation. 3 families signed it and I sent it in the mail. I don't think they took the dog in for like a week after that. Preacherman would dodge us when he saw us, hanging his head and looking away. I wanted to tell him that's what you get marrying some broad who makes you put her last name right in there beside yours and makes you have to use three names instead of two
