I wish I could have a conversation with them, but the latest development is they're putting up an one of those invisible fences. I'm not sure how that's gonna work to stop the barking. And there is no evidence of so much as one dog house. These people don't seem to share in your fondness for the rational.<BR/><BR/>So, I'm keeping your advice in mind. It sounds good to me. I can see the big van coming right now in my mind's eye. All seven kids standing out in the driveway, crying and waving bye-bye to the doggies. <BR/><BR/>See why this isn't a simple issue? I don't want to reveal myself for the mega-bitch I could totally be and have seven kids clinging to the dogs necks (not that I've ever seen them so much as pet one of them while they're outside barking) as they're being taken away. Maybe PAWS will be really enthusiastic and take some of the kids, too ...Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231691455510922560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521239648679368152.post-27468818029676408432008-04-09T06:15:00.000-07:002008-04-09T06:15:00.000-07:00Oooooo!

Nora, I actually talked to my one friend who is actually one of your neighbors and she says that you can leave an anonymous tip through PAWS website and there is an ordinance against how many dogs you can keep and dogs that are left outside all day need to have their own shelters and water supply and if they don't PAWS will remove them from the home. So this way you won't be the bad neighbor(because they will have no clue who reported them), because I don't recall seeing any dog houses set up for all of those pets.Slippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766549197772697118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521239648679368152.post-81691836679555973282008-04-08T09:36:00.000-07:002008-04-08T09:36:00.000-07:00How 'bout it, Luke?

I'm not usually affected when celebrities die, but when Gary Gygax, creator of D&D and shaper of my 11-19 years died, I felt something. I was reminded of that day when I was 10 and my Dad heard the news about John Lennon. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of advice columns and celebrity tragedies. Did you hear about Dan Savage's Mom? I've been gobbling up every bit of Savage's archive and all of his books for the past couple of years now and I feel like I almost knew her from the appearances she made in the column and in the books. <BR/><BR/>I also had a shitty neighbor who had shitty dogs. Someone in the apartment next door said they were going to call animal control after that fuck-head left his one obnoxious dog alone overnight and the retard dog barked all night keeping all of us up. Never heard from that dog after that day. You get a couple of neighbors to call in on this neighbor, you'll probably get some results. Although the mongeese and the rooftop sniping and the ex-lax do sound like more fun. Maybe you can work all three into your solution.Luke Bagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887409713950613467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521239648679368152.post-74410436792041482742008-04-07T19:55:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:55:00.000-07:00I'm not gonna say that ain't brilliant, Ratherto, ...I'm not gonna say that ain't brilliant, Ratherto, and seeing as it's almost ten pm and the dogs are still at it, it's tempting. <BR/><BR/>I think I'm going to take an element of River's advice, which is to get the neighbors all riled up and find a way to brainwash the dogs into submission.<BR/><BR/>Or I could call Cook County Animal Control.

Then when you return them, they will kill their family. Oh and what's this, they get put down because they are dangerous. It's a win-win scenario. Now that I think about it..that's coming from a pretty dark place today.
