I Cant Take This Anymore!

it was 7:45PM when the neighbors dog started barking... she doesnt leave them in the evening very often but i guess she had business this evening. i cant take much more of this. more so knowing the evil vile woman has actually talked to some of our neighbors and even THEY told her the dogs bark when she isnt home. we talked to her, written her letters, begged her to ask the other neighbors, made complaints to Animal Control... so far they have taken no action. Dixie was barking until 8:50PM. i guess THAT WOMAN came home about then because i took Mister out to find his dinner and she didnt bark at me or i would have been all over the sheriffs department.

this is just insane! whats wrong with people?!?! even seemingly reasonable people can be insane! and Chris wonders why i want to go live in a hole in the ground somewhere in the middle of Montana.

:sad: i just cant take this anymore. i have enough anxiety issues with out this stupid womans dog barking at me all day long.

Can't the Sherriff's office lay a noice complaint charge against your neighbour ? Are the other neighbour's willing to band together and call the police ? May tonight after living with one full hour of non-stop barking would be a good time to talk to them and convince them that they need to act as well.

they just might on their own after tonight. the entire neighborhood is home to hear it now. i would have called the sheriffs department but she stopped barking abotu the time i was getting to it. i had to clean up Jeffrey, find Misters dinner (he likes to stash the rest), put the kids to bed.... by the time that was done she was finished. i sent Chris outside to make a phone call to ENTICE her dog to bark at us (that still ticks me off) but she was already home by then. i still have half a mind to march my butt over there and tell her exactly what i think of her and her totally inconsiderate attitude to the other people living in this neighborhood. she can go rot for all i care. this is just unreasonably rude. R.U.D.E. i wont go say anythign because i would just end up punching her in the nose (as an example of retaliatory rudeness on the same level of HER rudeness) which would land me in jail for the night (it would almost be worth it) but still not get her poor dog to stop barking. so im just going to fume here for a few minutes and then see if my hubby wants to go make rude noises in the bedroom for a few hours.

I know how you feel, there's a dog (the same one who attacked Cally & I) on my mum's block (I don't live there so I don't hear it everyday anymore) who's the same, Animal Control was called on her but they couldn't do anything about the barking, & the owner is a stuck up :loser: who never listens to any suggests - had she listened when I told her to walk w/a Halti on her dog & get her in for obedience/socialization, the bite incident might have been avoided & I wouldn't have scars on my arm. but I digress wanted to share this w/you:

in plain English - to solve the problem you must think smarter, not retalitory even tho it would make you feel better for a little while

sorry I have no solutions or suggestion other than what's been said already

And I'm not even gonna touch that last comment!:laughing: :D

well the problem WILL be fixed. in the end she is probably going to wish she had listened to us in the first place. they are in an invisible fence, one of the dogs are TRAINED to guard and bite. we were WARNED he would bite but there is no barrier to prevent children from going over there. what was fine with us before because there is a sort of almost natural barrier but right now... id like to see it fenced in where NO ONE can get in. heck POOLS are supposed to be fenced in... but a known biter isnt?? i find that hard to believe. id like to see them fenced in and silent. i dont think either are unreasonable. we are willing to and can find the money to go to court (our parents are practically throwing money at us for it) over this and most likely will.

this mom comes armed with a..... VIDEO CAMERA!!!

i know, hopefully we can legally find a solution to this. in my heart i know this which is why we tried to deal with this on a personal level first. we didnt HAVE to wait so long, we didnt HAVE to attempt talking to her, we didnt HAVE to mail her a detailed letter explaining how we felt but we feel better doing what we feel is the right thing. we have given her every opportunity to fix this without fines or involving the law. i wont go punch the lady in the nose, as angry as this makes me, im not a violent person.

Maybe you should get a recording of her dog, then put it to play for her near her window for an hour and let her know what you and your neighbors go through all the time.

Some people never want to admit their pets (or kids) are disturbing others.

Our city has bylaws about barking dogs. The first complaint gets a warning and after that it is a $300.00 fine for each and every one afterwards. If not then you need to speak to the lady before you go insane.
A few years ago I had a similar problem, not with a dog barking but with people playing their music loud. We had a trailer parked in a campground and I spent most of the summer there. We were on a corner lot and a number of our neighbors would play their music LOUD. One would play rock and roll, another country and a third oldies sometimes all at the same time. Because of our location we heard everyones music. Sometimes the music would start in the early afternoon and go on into the night sometimes as late as 4:00 a.m. The owners of the campsite did nothing. I finally couldn't take it and blew up. It stopped them temporarily but eventually we moved because if we didn't I was going to need serious medical help.

I feel bad that your going through this.:sorry: I know given time this to shall pass and all will be well for you.. Good luck and keep us informed!
