The Neighbor's Dogs

November 23rd, 2006 at 02:59 am

Entry 5. I know, I know. But this is too funny not to share.

The neighbor's dogs have been barking for about 2 hours straight. These dogs drive me crazy because they are so loud. When DH and I were putting a tarp on the shed to cover where the shingles ripped off in the wind storm the other day we couldn't even hold a conversation standing five feet from each other because of those ^%$&*!@% dogs, let alone when we were on opposite sides of the shed. Every time I go outside I get yapped at. Doesn't matter that I'm in my yard minding my own business. Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap.

This is the neighbor that has 11 dogs and puppies. Not 11 dogs including the puppies, but 11 not counting them. They have their front porch penned off so that you can't get to their front door and their are dogs on the porch anyway. The back door is blocked by dogs, too. So you can't really go over there and complain about the noise without getting jumped by the dogs. These are big dogs, labs and rotties and shepherd cross of some sort.

Sometimes they let one of them run loose and it charges me. I've just about had it with the dogs and have thought about calling SPC on them, they can be fined for allowing the dogs to run loose. And they can be fined by our homeowner's association, too for letting them run loose, especially after one of them tore another dog apart that was being walked on a leash by a little girl.

Anyway, a couple of minutes ago I heard this really, really loud obnoxious noise, so I went outside and there were six families from the neighboring houses standing there holding a boom box and blasting it at top volume in front of the neighbor's house. I went out to see what was going on and the song they were playing was "Who Let the Dog's Out." That was enough to bring the neighbor out of the house and people were finally able to talk to him. I just sat on the porch and laughed quietly with tears streaming down my face. I sure hope he finally gets the point.

    Too funny. I hope it does the trick.

    Are there not restrictions on the number of pets in your municipality/township/county?

    This happens to me too. The dogs also howl at night if their owners are gone. I complained one night, the neighbours think I don't like dogs, but we came to an understanding, and we no longer have this problem. I like pets that don't keep me up nights, and I get just as irritated at my cats when they prevent me from sleeping. The difference is that my cats don't make noise loud enough to disturb the neighbours.

    Eleven dogs plus puppies is excessive! Is your neighbour breeding them, or providing foster care for them, or what? That many dogs need a huge lot for running, and what about walking them daily? Eleven walks a day? Walking eleven dogs at once?

    Clever!

    I was thinking maybe I'd attach a message to one of those suction dart toy guns and shoot it so it would fly over the dogs and stick to a window. But actually finding a way to bring the neighbors out is lots better .

    I'd call the police. If hry've attacked a small dog they could pack and attack a child.
