My neighbor sucks at life

My fucking cockface neighbor called animal control on our dogs, because they barked outside from 9:45 to 10pm on Thursday night. We got a warning, along with a threat that their licenses must be renewed within 10 days - plus we are over the city ordinance limit for dogs (neighbors reported 4 dogs, ordinance being limit of 3, so we're just going to leave it at that) so we must "get the amount of dogs down to the limit" or face summons.
How the mother fuck do you "get" the limit down? Take them to the pound? All the dogs are over 6 years old. They would literally die of depression while not being adopted. The pits have an automatic death sentence already. Euthanize 2 of them? Puck is on daily injections, and he's almost 13. He doesn't have much longer. I'm going to talk with Animal Control and tell them to give me a fucking break. Meanwhile my neighbor can shove a garden hoe up his ass. Fucking hate that guy. I'm going to confront him today if I see him, and ask what his fucking problem is. I already asked the neighbor behind us if it was them, and she said no. Our dogs bark a bit at them, but it doesn't bother them. They have 2 dogs of their own.
It's not like we left them out ALL night, or for 9 hours while we were at work where they barked non-stop all damn day. It was 15 F'n minutes, on their last bathroom break before bed time. FUCK that guy. So now I have 10 days to renew their licenses, which isn't a big deal - that part is fine. We got brochures in the mail about what causes dogs to bark "excessively". Are they insinuating that we don't know how to take care of them? We walk all 5 of our dogs EVERY DAY, rain, shine, or snow. Our dogs are walked more than any dog in our entire neighborhood and I would bet my car on it. They are very well taken care of.

Do you know which neighbor actually called? Not sure of the rules today but Westminster used to not dispatch animal control unless two separate households complained of excessive barking. That was a few years ago though.
ETA: Good luck man. That sucks. I'm done with city life. My days are limited till I'm in the boonies where I can shoot off the kitchen table.

My neighbor has told me stupid shit about our dog as well. It's not really dog specific though, as he tells me stupid shit about every single thing. I'm starting to like him less and less. Sorry for your troubles.

Animal control wasn't dispatched, we just got a warning in the mail. Still stupid though, because this is the start of my idiot neighbor beginning to do un-neighborly things that will impact my finances as well as court issues with the city, which I would rather avoid.

While I don't have a dog, I understand your neighbor issues. One little lie (I am sure animal control didn't waste time mailing you all that if your neighbor would have said "ohh my neighbor's dog barked for 15 minutes, can you mail them a fine?") and the government can come in and turn your life upside down. I know. I'm going through it have been going throug it and went through it. I hate people in general now and have to treat everyone around me like they are going to turn me in just because they want something of mine or want some of the hard earned dollars that I have.

Don't you like how the F'n Burocratic government workers are a money making machine for the government?

Five dogs barking for 15 minutes late at night would annoy me too. However I probably would have come over to your door and asked you to control your dogs rather than call animal control.

You should order a dump truck load of large stones as him, tell them to "just dump them in the driveway and send me the bill".

I have a dog.. If it was barking at 9:45 or any other time of the day for that matter I'd tell it to shut the F up.. Just sayin'. Can't really blame anyone but yourself for any of your problems. Majority of cities have laws limiting the number of dogs you can have.

Was this before you received the warning from the city?

People are over sensitive these days. Dogs will bark. Its what they do. Unless it's excessively late (like midnight) or way early (pre 6 am), I never worry about it. Even then, it has to be an exceptionally long session of barking before I'd think twice. Sorry for your troubles.
