The neighbors just a few houses away have a gang of tiny, pesky mutts.  Often times the dogs are left out in the yard, unchained, unfenced, unsupervised.  Many a time I have seen them scramble after a jogger or kids in the street trying to play, barking and yapping as menacingly as possible; as much as the turd sized pooches can muster up.

However, there is one.  The leader of this annoying little pack who carries on all. damn. day.  This irritating fur bag on four legs will bark and bark and bark at anything and everything for 14 consecutive hours.

See a bird fly overhead?  Bark.
See a car drive by?  Bark.
See an insect crawl across the branch of a tree across the street?  Bark.
See a piece of lint hit the ground?  Bark.
See a leaf scuttle across the street by force of a breeze?  Bark.

This dog never shuts up.  Ever.

I am usually able to drown it out by keeping the window closed and putting on headphones but I don’t want to have to keep my window closed and I don’t want to have to wear headphones all day long.

I want this dog to Shut!  Up!

I understand dogs bark.  I understand WHY dogs bark.  I also understand, having owned a dog, that the entire neighborhood does not think it’s cute when your pet barks all day.  I trained my dog to keep her yap shut unless she sensed/heard/saw someone in the yard.

This dog, this annoying pile of fur, runs around the neighborhood, up and down the streets and barks non stop.  I’m not exaggerating.  One would think that eventually the dog would tire out and take a fricken NAP already but this dog does not.  The only time I get any peace is when the &*%$#@! owners finally bring them all in for the night.  And the longer the days are, the longer we are all subject to this miserable mutt’s mouth.

I know I’m not the only one pissed off by this.  I see how other neighbors react to this and I want to know, WHY does the owner of this dog not DO something about it?

That is so incredibly, intolerably RUDE to sit up in the house, knowing full well that your pet is out there, annoying the ever loving hell out of all the residents in your immediate vicinity and do nothing about it.

I want to beat the ever loving snot out of the owner.  If you cannot take the time to train your dog, spend time with your dog, then don’t fucking have a dog.

Now.  I need to go put on my headphones before I go stark raving mad.
