 Posted: 09/19/06 - 19:18 Post subject: Conversation with my neighbor behind me....
His dogs incessant barking prompted this - I've never met the guy although his wife stopped once to question me about a missing cat.... and no I had nothing to do with it.
I'll set the scene here - barking dog neighbor lives directly behind me with a very thick row of pines between us. I walk around pines so I'm approaching from front/left side of their house and I can see they are outside. There are three guys, the wife and a little kid putting some furniture in a pickup truck. I walk up and say "hello" - nobody responds even though one guy there saw me walk up. I walk closer and say "hi" louded and the wife screams because I've scared the bejeebus out of her. Barking dog guy looks at me suspiciously...
Me: Uh, hear that dog barking? I heard the damn thing from 3 a.m. till 5 a.m. last night
Wife: Talk to him, it's his - pointing at Barking Dog Guy
BDG: Wasn't my dog last night
Me: Bullsh!t. I heard the s.o.b. just like I've heard him a thousand other times
BDG: ah, he barks for a few minutes once in a while
Me: He barks incessantly day and night
BDG: Not my dog
Me: Bullsh!t. That one and that little mutt you got tied up right there yaps a lot too. I can feel myself getting hot under the collar now.
BDG: We'll try and keep em quiet.
Me: I'm not trying to be the neighborhood idiot here, I'd just like a little peace and quiet.
BDG: Okay
The other two jacks were backing off expecting a brouhaha... the wifey was standing there with her arms crossed and a "I told you so" look on her face.
Next occurrence equal a visit from the sheriff.

I'm going to MAKE him his very own bark collar.... one time and he'll bark no more because his teeth are gonna be welded together.

I hope you're talking about the azzclown owner. It ain't the dog's fault. It's the owner that isn't paying attention to his dog.
/although I do understand the frustration with the animal. Nothing more frustrating than an animal that won't shut up.

It's always, always, always the owner's fault. Period.

Want to talk to my neighbors for me? Their dogs are digging under the fence a lot lately. I've got about a 6" trench by the fence thanks to them.

Sounds like Rob would have to put that around either Barking Dog's wanker, or Barking Dog Guy's.

9 outta 10 dog owners are irresponsible, I have no doubt. Having run and biked every road in a 10-mi radius wherever I've lived or worked, model citizen dog owners are a rare breed.
Incessant barking drives.me.nuts. Dogs that charge onto the road drive.me.nuts. Mutts that lift a leg on my parked car or cycle drive.me.nuts. Dog poo left at the playground or boat launch or picnic park drive.me.nuts.
I agree totally with Pug that's it's always the owner's fault. But it's epidemic proportion in my opinion and outta hand at how irresponsible people are. Animal societies, breeders and pet stores guilt trip this culture into making way too many dog owners who have no inclination to be anything but another nusiance owner.
If you can't keep your dog quiet, off the road and it's poo outta public places, then get goldfish.

Go out and get a C02 Boat Air Horn, and a couple of extra pressure cans.
Every time the dog is barking, go over to the fence and blast the airhorn.
It will require a couple of difficult nights from you, but they will get the message.
