I saw Marcie, the mom, today. She approached me and said Eric was tickled to death about the plan, we hugged, and both apologized for how out of control it got. She will be the one letting Binx out, and she has already asked me if she needs to let him in again, after a certain amount of time. I told her as long as it is above 50, he can stay outside for a couple of hours....but, once we get to cold weather, 30 minutes, and let him back in. She has a golden and a puppy, so, she knows doggies...and she won't let him get cold.

I am soooo glad this has worked out like it has!!!!

So hang on, the mother is going to look after Binx while the noisy kid has band practice!!! No wonder he's happy with the deal!

At least you know that Binxy will be looked after.

I hope it works out.

But if they're still jamming at 9 p.m., I'd be on the phone so fast......

I hope this works out. Its always so ugly to create a neighborhood feud when it can be avoided.

I hope it works out and that the people are trustworthy enough to receive your very trusting gift of opening your house to them.

There are VERY inexpensive ways to sound-proof (almost) the windows, doors and walls in a room where the band is practicing. Even if it's just layers of cardboard or packing/moving blankets. Perhaps you could suggest that as an additional way to keep the peace. Who knows, the kids parents may appreciate it as well

Can't help but believe that one of the reasons the mom is so anxious to help out is that she is glad she knows where her son is, regardless of how loud he is!!!

But I know it has to be an irritant to you, Johanna. I know how I hate noise from neighbors (have had that problem in the past, myself), and I am ultra sensitive about making sure that we keep our dogs quiet so that our neighbors aren't disturbed.

I hope it will all work out. I think you offered a very valuable compromise.
