Yappy dog as humans' territory marker

Columbine,
I have hours of tapes of Goofy barking her cocker spaniel bark if you would like to borrow them....................................... use them as you wish

ROTFL! Ohhhh, don't I wish - but I'm not going to lower myself to the level of those who consider themseles above me in more than just geometry...

Love, Columbine

Well you could stump them and ask them if they intended on being sanctimonious trogolidytes, or did it just come from the inbreeding?

I gotta get outta this "good neighborhood" for sure! Anybody up Vermont way need a med-head Macingeek what don't get up early (or at least don't do her best before noon)?

Love, Columbine (suddenly struck by how attached she's gotten to the silly place and its holdout working-class inhabitants, especially the grapevines)

My house is connected to my boarding kennel ... it's far from quiet some nights.

Get a good pair of foam earplugs, and run a big box fan in your bedroom for background noise.

It works through any amount of barking, trust me!

Go out to the park, scoop up all the dog poop you can find, and then deposit it all over the stairs leading to her room.
Then complain about the smell coming from upstairs....lol

Well, it's blissfully quiet up there this morning. I'm hoping against hope that the critter belonged to a visitor... I do have earplugs, and run a box fan all summer anyway. I'm sure more comfortable earplugs can be found, too. I'm just getting too old for "bend over and take it" to be the only workable option every stinkin' time. ("Workable" means eschewing puerile revenge schemes, and I'm too old for even fantasizing about those to be entertaining anyway!) So here's hoping it was just some friend of theirs who didn't want to leave such a young puppy alone while they were visiting.

Love, Columbine

We can hope!! I am glad to hear of the quiet for you though.
I once lived next door to a woman that had 9 yorkies...............she kept odd hours so it wasn't uncommon for her to take them out at 2 or 3 am I would console myself by trying to remember they were happy barks.......

Now I am the neighbor people love to hate lmao! 3 macaws, 1 cockatoo, the assorted tiels, lory and keets along with the dogs. Maybe thats why the houses on both sides are up for sale?
