BARKING kept me up all night!!! *vent*

Is there a way you can use the dogs barking to help you sleep? Deep breaths and start counting each bark perhaps?

I feel for you, and I feel especially bad for the doggie. I'd definitely call animal control, at least he'll be put in a home that won't keep him outside (and alone) :(

Not only does it bark, it barks right under our bedroom window, making it impossible to go to sleep.

If he's right under your bedroom window, he's probably barking "HELP ME HELP ME". I know you said your bedroom is on the second floor, but some houses around here the 'second floor' the window is a couple feet off the ground (i.e. 'first floor' is under ground)... is that how yours is?

Is he looking at any particular spot when he's barking? Wonder how his 'owners' handle the barking... hmm

If there was any pattern to his bark, maybe I could use it to lull me to sleep . . . :rolleyes:

Our townhouse is two stories, with a basement, so the second story is exactly how it sounds.

He likes to sit out front in the middle of the road (about 20 feet from the front of our townhouse) and bark down the road. I don't think he's barking at anything in particular. Just lonely & bored.

We'll see how tonight goes . . . I'm hoping it will rain so he'll stay under the trailer tonight. I need to sleep! :eek:

don't knock it, :P

i do that with snoring (yeah i know different than barking but, hey, you never know)

:)

I would call someone about his lack of shelter. At least where I live 'under a trailer' is not proper shelter. I agree with some of the others about calling, he has no life where he is,and would be better off in a shelter with a chance for a new home.

I'm not knocking anything . . . I'm just frustrated. I understand what you're saying . . . I sleep better with my husband snoring away, but this dog's high pitched bark is something that I just can't tune out or get used to.
