A couple months ago the people behind us called the cops on us for barking dogs one night when I was with Forrest in the ICU and H was working on the ambulance until 10. H tried to go over to talk to the woman to apologize and to explain the circumstances. She wouldn't even open the door.
Guess who just came over to ask if we would be sure to bring our dogs in when they were showing their house that they just put on the market? She started the conversation by bitching about them and suggesting shock collars.
1) There are only 2 days a week we're not here. They don't bark that much. 2) if you want something from someone, don't be a bitch.
It's taking every.fiber.of.my.being not to put them out there and play some kind of game that gets them riled up. The only thing stopping me is the thought that we might win the neighbor lottery and get good ones.
Fuck.that.
Maybe SHE should wear a shock collar. Sorry, I'm anti shock collar.
They're not going to be alone at night, right? And only twice a week? IMO, that's not too bad. Nothing to get riled up about. Though I have a dog, so it wouldn't bother me.

I'm not going to lie. There is a person on the street behind us whose dog will periodically bark all night, and a barking dog at 3:00 in the morning is maddening. However, a dog barking before 9:00 or 10:00 at night I'm not going to pay attention to at all.

I am seriously wondering how you managed to not respond with, "Of course I will make sure to shock collar my dogs while I am sitting with my teenage son in the ICU", and then slam the door in her face. I would have done that or gone full on deranged on her, making her probably glad she was moving.

Ours are in by 8 at the very latest. That was, literally, the only time it's ever happened.
Yeah, calling the cops the first time a dog is barking out of the ordinary is loony. No doubt. It would take it becoming a pattern before I did that, and I sure wouldn't be showing up at your door asking you to keep them quiet during the day.
