Hi,

Now for my second post. My neighbor has a Yorkie who constantly barks. They let the dog bark all day. I have a Yorkie too, but I know the whole neighborhood doesn't want to listen to him bark! I've been woken up by this dog, I've been distracted by it while at the computer, and I'm sick of it. I've already been over there and nicely asked them to stop letting their dog bark for long periods of time. The guy was nice, but they haven't done a thing.

Obviously they have no respect for anyone else in the neighborhood. ( In My neighborhood the houses are close together. The barking echoes quite joyfully.) I know dogs bark, other dogs bark outside, mine does too. But no one else lets their dog bark for extended periods.

What really bothers me about these people is that I don't think they like their Yorkie being inside. (I can see perfectly into their yard.) The dog has a kennel outside, is fed outside, and stays outside most of the time. They even have a lawn chair pinned up against the sliding back door so that the poor thing can't see inside. I have literally watch as the dogged barked frantically to get inside, at night, and the woman just shut the blinds on it. They keep it out in the rain. What it weighs less the 10 pounds and is staying outside when it's raining, and windy? Who would do that?

Anyway sorry for the long post. This has just been really pissing me off. I'm not claiming they abuse their Yorkie, however they sure aren't very loving to it. I want to call animal control on them for the constant barking. Has anyone ever done this before? I just want someone with authority to tell them that the barking isn't appreciated, and extremely rude.
