The owners either claim not to hear them bark, or that they aren't bothered by it. They wake me up, several times every night. It's getting really old.

Having this many dogs doesn't sound quite normal and there is also a possibility that they aren't well cared for. Dogs that are loved and treated well do not bark incessently. We've got three big ones and they don't bark. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam. Use another domain or send PM.

We've got three >big ones and they don't bark. Big dogs tend to bark less than ankle-biters. They're all around much better pets. Little dogs have a Napolean Complex. The little bastards next door have it in spades.

Even the ones that know us since half a decade or so throw a hissy fit every time we walk past with our dogs. Probably ticks the off that big ol' Rottie doesn't even turn his head to look at them. A Shepherd and a Doberman that we pass and that are loose in their front yards just look at us, yawn, and doze off. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

We've got three > big ones and they don't bark. We have tried to deal with the people, and animal control has been called several times. The dog owner's response was to set a crappy stereo outside and turn it wide open, since the noise ordinance doesn't take effect till 10:00 pm. Then another one tried to drown them out. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge. |
