Loud noises, help!
 

I havent posted in a long time, but now I'm so upset and worried. I need advice. I was walking Olivia and her 6 mo old Chihuahua brother around my neighborhood this evening. We walked past my neighbors house, where one of my friends lived before she got married. Her 20 year old brother (known to be the biggest pain the the you-know-where) was outside and as we passed he got into his truck and blasted his illegal louder-than-an-atomic-bomb horn at us. On purpose, just to scare my dogs, which he thinks are a joke to have. My dogs freaked out, especially Peppy the chihuahua, who is only just getting the hang of his leash.

Well this all happened about 2 hours ago, and my ears still hurt from the noise. Now, it's really got me wondering how bad could this have been for my dogs? They seem fine right now, but is there any knowledge and advice anyone could pass on to me? Any signs I should watch out for? My dogs weigh about 4 lbs each and they are seriously my children.

I've already made it clear to my friend that I will be holding her brother accountable financially for any veteranary costs if my dogs develop any hearing problems. I also plan to talk to his parents regarding the matter. I have a few neighbors who were witness to the scene.

I'm so upset, someone calm me down! haha

Ugh! What a jerk! I'd be pissed too! :mad:

I don't know about any problems for the babies though...

have you called the police to see if there is anything they can do for you, if not for your babies. i would see if i could file a complaint- has to be a law about loud noises or something.

I have heard dogs ear drum can handle much more volume than a humans can. they have much better hearing and have a totally different hearing system than us. I hope your babies ears are okay and the jerk gets a ticket for excessive noise!

Lucky for me, one of my best friends is a cop. Not so lucky for me, a loud noise violation can only occur after 10 pm:confused:

I don't know the answer to your question, but that was really mean of him. What kind of person would do that to two four pound babies!!!!!

Talk to his mother, the police and be careful. He sounds like he could either dangerous, retarted or both. I wouldn't walk past his house again. Go in a different direction. I'm sure that kind of noise isn't good for people or doggies ears.

It's kind of tricky since his sister is one of my closest friends, but she did speak to her parents. They were like, oh well, nothing we can do. They seemed to think I was overreacting. Ive lived next door to these people for 10 years and this kid is the biggest waste of space on the planet, always acting immature. I have made it clear that if there are any vet bills incurred bc of this, they will be held responsible. A lot of my neighbors saw it happen.

And as for walking a dif way, I live at the end of a cul-de-sac, so i guess im gonna have to drive my car past his house and then get out and walk my dogs. The nerve of some people:mad:

The little ones seem to be doing fine for now...thanks everyone!

Wow, where do you live that the law is only after 10pm? That;s crazy. It shouldn't be! My Dh is a Patrol Sgt at our SO and I use to dispatch... in TX loud music & such is considered disturbing the peace, and it's any time of the day. I don't know the answer but, your friend should have some control over a child thave lives with her. If she is any kind of friend she would firmly tell him that his behavior was unacceptable,a dn WON"T be tolerated!

My friend just got married and she moved out. Its her brother that made the noise. He's 20 years old, not even a child!! He's always been like this, totally resistant to authority. His parents are out of the state currently, but I was so upset that my friend called her parents, and they basically were like sorry he did it, oh well. And the 10 pm law is totally crap, I agree, but I live in a rural farming town in Southern Maryland thats only just starting to get populated , so I guess they never changed the rules. What he did is so totally wrong, and i cant believe hes not going to even get a slap on the wrists from his parents!

LOL. I did read that he is 20, but he is their child and he is certainly acting like a child. What a terd.
