Dog Barking Complaint Update

[Deleted]

I hope she settles in soon!

And lol at the SATC DVDs

Does she have any clothes you can leave on her during the day? P is always better when he's super cozy in his pjs.

Also, boo to your jerk neighbors.

Do you have a computer with a webcam? Not sure the specifics but I think I'd try to set that up to record. Hopefully someone knows how (I'm not being the least bit helpful)!

Also, I hope she finds the SATC music as calming as I do... du, du, dudu, du, du, dudu...

Good luck! I hope she gets settled in soon - I don't know what to suggest re: recording, unless you can get a cheap dictation device somewhere? Do those still exist?

Hopefully Ruby is a big Carrie fan and the DVD soundtrack does the trick (though she strikes me as more of a Samantha)!

No, but that's a good idea, though I'm hoping it warms up soon! We don't have central air and heat, and I didn't realize DH had turned the heater off yesterday morning.

Ooh, yeah, our angry dog is much calmer in his sweater.

SATC. Good choice

My Mac has a webcam and you can do videos (photobooth app). Not sure about PCs.

I hope she gets settled in soon. I wouldn't worry just yet!

What a douchnogle neighbor.

If you have a computer with a webcam and Internet access, it's pretty easy to set up a free feed through a live streaming website. I use one called Justin.tv to watch my dog when I'm at work on a private, password protected channel. It saves the videos for 7 days. I think you can also use software to just save the video to your computer's hard drive. You could probably find an app for your phone to do the same thing (if you have a smartphone, that is). Good luck!

Hopefully all of these things make it better for her.

We had to give Roxie Benadryl for allergies and it made her SUPER hyper. The vet said that is very rare and did the opposite of what they thought. She was crazy dog for a couple days and then we stopped giving it to her. Hopefully your dog reacts normally lol. Our dog is weird.

I agree with doing the webcam thing. It honestly sounds like your neighbor is just an ass and just wants to be an ass. He sounds like the kind of person that would complain for two singular barks throughout the day just to complain. Easier said than done but I would try to not let it bother you, especially if, after recording, you find out she is not barking or is only barking here or there at noises or whatever.

Do you leave her with anything like a Kong during the day that might occupy her?

I'm so sorry that you have a douchcanoe neighbor and are ALREADY having to deal with them. They sound like total passive agressive fucks.
