Have you ever started out your day knowing it was going to be rough? It's one of those for me. Yapping neighbor's chihuahua dogs barking from 6:30 PM last night to 3:30 AM was brutal. I don't know what else to do. Called the sheriff at 1:30 AM and he said an officer was going to call my cell back to discuss "the issue"- never received a call. I've reported this issue in the past, to the sheriff, to the city, to animal control. What other options do I have but to move? I wish someone in law enforcement could take this matter seriously, because Hubs and I are losing some serious sleep. The barkers were at it again by 5:00 AM and are still going at it as I type this. LAME!!! Anyone have some awesome advice?
p.s.- I love dogs, but am slowly resenting a certain breed. Trying to take the high road, it's quite difficult.

I just came across your blog, and I'm glad I did!
Greetings from Italy,

Oh man, I am no help on this one. First, I will let everyone know, I love dogs. I would rather be surrounded by dogs any day of the week than people.
However, we had a neighbor with yappy dogs and it KILLED us for 2 years. We finally got the point where we would open our back door and yell - yes YELL - at the dogs to shut up. One morning I almost went and pounded on their door in my PJ's. If I can hear your stupid dog - so can you!
Everyone is going to think I'm awful, and this is an awful thought, but it was getting so bad that I was considering 'other' ways to take care of the situation. Animal Control didn't care - the cops sure didn't care - the owner OBVIOUSLY didn't care - so I was considering handling it myself.
Thankfully, they moved out about a month ago. I have never gotten such good sleep without having Yappy McYapperson going off all the time.
If all else fails, leave a letter on your neighbors door letting them know you have contacted the police and will continue to until they control their dog - and don't sign your name. No need to single yourself out.
Oh sweetpea- I totally feel your pain. We have 3 very selfcentered and party-centric young girls living above us. We hear every foot step, every bad rap song they play, and especially every party they throw (at least one a week). Hubs has been averaging 3 hourss sleep a night. We've declared war and now keep a.speaker turned against a shared wall playing our own version of annoying music 24-7. We shall see if it does any good. Im not hopeful though. :(
