Barking dog

[kidicarus13]

Is your experience the same as mine or different?

The owners that let dog(s) bark outside at everything for hours on end are liberals.

Not my situation but just adjusting my lib-o-meter. For those of you that live in BFE no-neighbors-for-2 miles-in-all-directions, disregard.

I think it has more to do with why the people have a dog on the first place. I live in what is potentially the most heavily dog-concentrated city on planet earth and while the vast majority are good custodians, there are a few here/there that got a dog for the same reason they had kids: it was the next thing on the obligatory checklist.

The worst offenders I've seen in the "leave dog out to bark all day" category are those for whom life was already quite full before they ever entertained the idea of getting a dog. They (and now I'm referring to actual neighbors) spend their weekends at their condo in Aspen, weekdays are at the office in Denver, and there is simply no time when they have occasion to take care of a dog (or any other pet for that matter).

When it comes to offenders in close proximity, they are the "up early because I have to be at work when the markets open in NY" crowd, I've never attached a political bent to them, they simply never had time for a dog but it was the 'in' thing to do so they got one...and 2.4 kids to go with it.

-granted, I have two dogs and when they tree a squirrel, they bark. That said, I'm a gun hating liberal who drives a green station wagon.

I agree with the whole "reason for a dog" thing. In my case, it was ghetto losers that had a dog because that's what ghetto losers do. Fortunately, bad dog owners don't usually ruin dogs and dog owners for everyone.

People that let their dogs bark all day are classified as assholes. Unfortunately asshole is a popular flavor on both sides of the aisle.

Yes, unfortunately, very true. People who let their dogs bark should be beaten with a cane, and their dogs should undergo a surgical barkolectomy.

Dogs like to talk too!

I'll take geese over an inconsiderate assholes barking dog anyday. Mainly because it pisses me off that the jerk off is home and isn't doing dick about it. There's a guy who lives across the open space from me with a god damn schnauzer that barks at the smallest mouse fart. I do not let my dogs bark unless it's something important but because of that guy, I'll let them bark their heads off when kids walk through the open space. Barking dogs are my biggest pet peeve and I cannot wait to get into the country. As hghclass said, "Welcome to the city". Rant over.

Problem is resolved when myself or the spouse, knock on the offending owners door at the same hour their dog[s] are barking. Usually the spouse does it she's more tactful than i am. Of course the, you can deal with me or the cops. If i were you, hope it's the cops, gets their attention fairly quick. . Even the FSA owners who have somehow migrated in to the local, get the hint.
