Bad neighbor solution
Well, maybe not a "solution," but another arrow in the quiver:
"Just outside his sealed bedroom window, beyond the chain-link fence that surrounds his next-door neighbor's yard, sit the reasons David Adams says he can't sleep: two bushy-tailed dogs that bark and howl all night. "Finally he discovered a Web site seemingly tailor-made for such suburban woes: www.RottenNeighbor.com If this site gives folks a place to vent, maybe they won't come here? |

Good strategy. Another kind works, assuming you can be fairly sure you'll get an intelligent cop when the neighbor dials 911 on you: Clearly tell the neighbor "If your doesn't stop doing (whatever), I will kill the dog." You have to have an "if" in there. I did that with a neighbor, and she knew exactly where I live because I pointed to my property and said "That's mine. If your dog keeps crapping in my flower beds, I will kill it." A cop came to the door and asked "Did you tell your neighbor you were going to kill her?" I corrected him and explained the situation and what I really said to her. He said "I understand. I'll take care of it." He went back to the neighbor's house. Never saw the dog again. I'm guessing he told her "How about you obey the law and you won't have crazy neighbors threatening your dog?" |

I actually told my neighbor I APPROVE of his barking dogs (I really do). I can't hear them from the bedroom side of the house and they tend - I hope - to discourage burglars. |

says he can't sleep: two bushy-tailed dogs that bark and howl all night.
One neighbor decided to leave town for a long weekend and put the dog in the backyard to fend for itself. I presume someone was to come over and feed it. After the first night and most of the next day of BARK BARK BARK, I went over into the yard and grabbed the dog..took it over to their "dog door" which had been blocked by something inside..rammed it OPEN and shoved the dog INSIDE and blocked it from the outside. I hope the AH had a lot of dog crap in there to clean up when he got home. He never tried that again. |

Mike Not if it is zoned agricultural. =A0(at least where I used to live) Been there, done that. They would come out and talk to the people but also told me there was nothing they could do. Told me to call animal control to see if the dogs were being abused. I also had a damn rooster next door that would start crowing at 6am on the dot until 7am, the time I had to get up for work. Needless to say I got little sleep when I lived in that house. Thank god it was a rental! So, you lived in an agricultural zone, and complained about this rooster.= .. Um- humm. Where does it say I complained about the rooster? You just did! Banty I said DOG - DOG - DOG.....got it now? |
