I've HAD it!

wow, that is terrible. Your so right some people shouldn't have pets...or kids depending on the crime. I know that it probably isn't much of a win for the dog but its not going to get any better for the dog if it stays. Our neighbor's dog's bark and so does our dog but they don't bark out of hand normally.

An non stop barking dog can be a nightmare. I feel sorry for that dog, you're right, some shouldn't own dogs.

So I completed the barking log, and sent it off to the post office this afternoon.... I hope that letter and fine gets there fast- I can't take it anymore.

Just 10 or some minuted ago I went out to the backyard to scoop poo. I look through the cracks in the fence, and I see the poor dog just sitting at the glass back door- just looking in on his family. Broke my heart.
It's been a surprisingly cold winter here in California, I imagine he is cold.
Like I stated earlier what REALLY bothers me, is the fact they are HOME INSIDE, and their dog is in the backyard, barking, and they don't do anything about it.

Some people should NOT own animals.

I hate people! Poor puppy. Maybe this dog would have a better chance being adopted out in a shelter to a ranch home to give the dog a job? These dogs shouldn't be sitting in a yard doing nothing. Then again no dog should. The dog is probably going crazy because he is not getting excercised properly or even paid attention to. Luckily they aren't my neighbors or I would take the dog to my shelter where I work to give the dog a better home.

Yeah I almost cried when I poke through the fence earlier today...
He DOES need a job- and the funny thing is, I'm pretty sure he was adopted from a shelter.... I've never seen that dog out for a walk, or heard him being played with in their backyard.

Poor guy. Can you maybe talk to them? Sad Christmas is coming up and he will be out in the yard with nobody to play with. This makes me sick to think there are dogs out there that live outside and nobody cares about them. Is he even getting fed and proper shelter and water? If not, I would call AC especially since it's been so cold. Puppies normally can't regulate their body temperature at that age even.

He could freeze to death. I would maybe put a blanket for him tonight if you can and maybe some treats if you are sure the people won't come after you. It's a risky move to do that, but if you feel safe doing it for the poor guy then I would. If not just talk to the pup. I am sure he appreciates YOU being there to even give him a bit attention than that so called family would.

Thanks
He doesn't look the least bit underfed, he looks good. It hasen't been THAT cold, but I just checked yahoo weather and it says it it 46 degreed outside.... but that is cold!
About the blanket, I would eathier have to break into their house and go through the back door to get into their backyard, or hop the fence, and the dog might see me as an intruder and kill me, lol! He might even sleep inside, or in the garage at night, but I'm not sure.

I've called AC (on ]halloween) and they sent them a warning letter about the barking, and also sent me the log to jot down the dates and time he barks, and for how long it goes on. The barking was getting to me SO bad 2 weeks before the week of thanksgiving, I was trying so very hard to study for finals, and he was barking yet again. (Thankfully I passed, or I would have strangled those people, LOL) Anyway I called them that week and asked them if they could just come out and talk to these people, I even confirmed that they were home! (Me being a peeping tom, looking through the fence, lol) The woman told me you need to complete the log before we can do anything. Ugh I was so frustrated!!
