Thanks. Don't mined if I do. Cheers, and may I toast you on such an
astute
observation.

Dirty secret. If I'm up at 4:00 AM because the neighbor's dog is out making
noise, I'll sometimes dose my cat (Rosie the Horrible) with catnip, let her
out, and toss cat treats along the fenceline. Drives the friggin' dog nuts,
and there seems to be no limit as to how much the the cat's willing to spend
along that fence. The dog ends up with its neck and legs completely wrapped
in its chain. Much more fun than calling the cops to enforce the noise
ordinance, which doesn't work most of the time anyway.

May I congratulate you on such a brilliant way in tormenting the problem.
You have it all under control. Cheers and may the force be with you.

No, it's totally out of control and hopeless, but such is the law. I made an
amazing discovery about a year ago. The same earplugs I use at the pistol
range work very nicely for noisy neighbors at night.

I wouldn't call it in as a noise violation.

I'd call animal control. If they are that irritating there is a
possibility of abuse.

I think there would be a greater probability of achieving a favorable
result.

Boy, where was THIS discussion when I had a barking dog as a neighbor. None
now that I live on the boat, but I sure would have used these ideas!

Well, let's continue collecting ideas. Here's one: Cook a large northern
pike and give it to the bad dog - the whole fish. Ever seen the Y-bones of a
pike's skeleton?

Interesting point. Frankly, my definition of dog abuse is letting average
people introduce two dogs for purposes of making puppies. For this reason,
my cat's vet has stopped using the term "golden retriever". She calls them
"hip problems".

ROTFLMAO
