When they are being so noisy its annoying, yes.

I have a neighbor, who lives behind us. Their dog barks and barks and barks and BARKS all day, all night..........he drives us CRAZY! You don't know how much I feel like yelling at that dog when he wakes me up at 2am barking! I think people with dogs that bark too much need to be sensitive about their neighbor's feelings and take care of it. I'm NOT saying you don't take care of your dogs' barking. I'm saying my neighbor doesn't. All of our other neighbors with multiple dogs have never ever caused ANY problem. Just this one. We've even considered calling the police on them, but ended up deciding we didn't have the heart to do so.

Hunters aren't bad people. You can't make a generalization like that. There are bad people and good people in every *type* of people. Maybe you should get to know them........give them a chance before making a judgement. We have these neighbors that were *very* stingy with us when we just moved here. They had a problem.........we didn't like that. We don't like to have stingy feelings between those who live closest to us.........so my mom made some sweets, and my dad knocked on their door and gave it to them, saying we just wanted to get to know the neighbors, and it was a little gift from us. That's all it took. Now they're the nicest neighbors ever! Try to meet them........be nice to them. Some people judge others too quickly without thinking, but if you're nice to them.......you never know. It could have a positive effect on them too!

People so very often complain about their neighbors..........but thank God, we've never had a problem. I think its because we're nice to them, and often send them cakes, cookies, something like that. If you're nice to your neighbors, they'll be nice to you. Its a family policy of our's, to be nice to everyone who lives around us, no matter who they are. You never know.......sometimes, when you need someone the most, you should have good relations with your neighbors, because they're the ones who live closest to you, and can get help the fastest. Our old next door neighbors were the nicest people in the world. They were so nice.........they cried when we moved out of that neighborhood and came here. I still miss them.........but they do come to visit every now and then! Even though they aren't our neighbors any more, they are still always there for us. Be nice to your neighbors. Don't hate them right from the start!
