Dear Neighbors

Dear Neighbors,

Wednesday I finally worked up the nerve to talk to you in person about your barking dog, since the passive-aggressive note I had left a week earlier didn't seem to work. You seemed very nice as we discussed how your dog is driving me crazy with his barking and barking and barking. There are also other barking dogs that bug me, but yours is the worst. We had a nice conversation and you showed me the barking collar that had just come in the mail for your dog. Yesterday was a blissful day with hardly any barking. Can I ask, what happened today? No barking earlier this morning, but lots of barking now. I know the other dogs are out right now too, so the dogs seem to be feeding off each other, and your dog is barking the most, so it would be great if you kept using that barking collar!

Thanks.

We are surrounded by barking dogs as well, the worst is the neighbor right behind us. Anytime we come out into OUR backyard, he sits at the fence and growls and barks at my kids. They've gotten over it and just say "Hush up, Gus!"
We are currently saving for a nice cedar fence, preferably 20 feet high......

We have a little heard of dachsunds behind us that bark most of some days. I have never gotten up the nerve to talk to their owners...good for you for doing so...the most annoying is when the dogs wake up the baby! Have you had that?
