I'm going to bitch. The neighbors next door have an outside dog. She gets no attention and she is a barker. For the last 3 nights she's barked non stop while sitting right beside my bedroom window. Maybe I handled it wrong, maybe I should have gone over during the day and talked to them, but I couldn't take it anymore. She was barking when I got home from class at 8:00, she was still barking at midnight, so I went over and rang the door bell, of course no one answered. I didn't want to call the authorities. These neighbors have been okay to me and I didn't want to piss them off. When they didn't answer the door I left a note. I was nice but I asked them to do something. I ended up pissing them off anyway. This morning they stuck a note on my mailbox basically telling me I am SOL and blaming the neighborhood cats, the neighbors on the other side of me and people wandering the alleys at night and telling me there's nothing they can do but to go ahead and call the police if I feel the need. I understand an outside dog is going to bark, but this goes beyond protecting their home. Get your lazy asses out of bed and check to see what she's barking at, for crying out loud. I call bullshit and I will not be nice the next time. This is big for me, I don't like confrontation. I can drown out daytime barking but don't freaking mess with my sleep!
Okay, back to being a mild-mannered wuss. I've got to get out of this neighborhood.

Get em darlin! Your neighbors sound like some the knuckle draging idiots I deal with at times. Moving is a good idea! Oh and by the way, you are not a wuss.

The more I think about your situation, calling the humane society might be a good move. You suspect that the dog is being neglected, because of her constant barking, Just maybe she is trying to get fed. When they get a visit, the
mouth-breather family, they might rethink their stance on things. Just a thought!

I hate to alienate them. That's a thought, Mango, although I am pretty sure they feed and water her, they just don't give her much attention. Since they told me to go ahead and call the authorities I'm not sure a visit would do much good. They are right, the neighborhood cats do cause some of the problem, but sheesh, they could come out and shush her. I did some checking and the fine for a barking dog is $500. That would motivate me to shut my dog up.
People who leave their dog outside, alone, are idiots. Dogs are pack animals and some of them are afraid of being alone in the dark and bark and bark and bark hoping for attention and comfort.
Good luck with your clueless, inconsiderate neighbours. Personally, I would call the cops EVERY time the dogs barks after 10:pm. The lousy neighbours will take care of their dog if for no other reason than being tired of paying fines.
Ahhh, it's amazingly quiet this evening.
Maybe they are doing something about but, didn't want to look like they would- so they were snotty.
People ARE retarded that way.
ps my word verification was "tingly" do I make you feel tingly? I hope so- maybe it would help!
That's hilarious, Chup. I heard Autin Powers when I read it. "Do I make you tingly, baby?"
LOL - you need to now become a BAD NEIGHBOR. Loud music. Sign them up for every conceivable fashion catalog you can find. Knock on their door and run. Pink flamingo's in your front lawn. God I never luck out and get into these situations....:(
Oh, and all I posted in my comment on that site was that my blog is a full of crap blog where I pretend to be a radical lefty, not to be offended, was just popularizing my blog by trolling, etc. etc. She still didn't get it, still thinks I'm a radical nightmare - either that or she's a better fake than I am :)
Candle, you're such a brat. I think there would never be a dull moment if you were my neighbor, but I'd be sure not to piss you off unless I had a hankerin' for a pink flamingo and Fredrick's of Hollywood catalogs.
Hmmph, I thought artists had more of a free spirit than that woman appears to have. She ought to thank you for the hits she gets from your link to her blog.
I wish I had a neighbor like you. What ever happened to neighbors? "Hellooooooo Mr. Wilson..." I live in Northern Virginia. If you wave at your neighbors, they close their curtains.
Hello! I haven't exactly been a model neighbor this week. hahaha
