if a dog is barking excessively after lets say 10 pm, Id say this issue has to be addressed.
wow, funny you mentioned this.
a couple of months ago, the house directly in back of mine was sold to new owners.
They have been having parties in their yard almost every weekend, maybe not parties, but family get togethers I guess, and they blast, and I mean blast music till midnight or later on the weekends.
I dont complain, I like the sounds of life.
But, the mother lives on the top floor, and there is a huge deck out there, and she puts her little poodle out there at night and he whines and yaps for 3 hours straight.
Im not sure why she does this.
My corner neigbhor, who is a nurse, works long crazy hours, came over to me a few days ago and asked me how I take the dog barking, and I told her it doesnt really bother me, its a little dog and its usuallly over by 11 pm.
She however, cant take it, and she is a dog owner herself, so she has spoke to them.
makes sense, because I havent heard the dog at all since a few days ago, so I guess the people were nice enough to keep the dog inside at night. Or, she reported the noise and the police asked her too, I dont know the outcome.
larry, if it were me, Id walk over there, apologize and say youre going to keep a closer eye on charlie, keep him a bit more quieter. And lets see how that works out. Better to be friends with neighbors that go through years of disliking them
