However Lord B is now killfilled for resorting to insults instead of answering why Hobo has not met the vet yet. Boyfie arrived intact and it took a whole lot of time to get him snipped. Anyway it was done eventually. He stays home. No interest about wandering about girls, he prefers to help me in the garden. Which consists of me pulling up weeds and him hiding himself in the weeds in case he can catch a bird. He knows very well that only rodent catching is allowed and it's his job to get rats. |

They are out all day every day and every weekend, he sits in the window looking for them. And barks and barks. Do you have animal control where you could reports this (both as a nuisance to you and as neglect to the dog)? Of course, that does mean that you would be stirring up trouble with the neighbors, but it may come to that. It would be a good idea to take a tape recording of the constant barking that you could play for animal control or the police. I don't want to report them to anyone, because they will get annoyed and then I will have bad neighbours each side. It's really difficult. The poor dog just breaks his heart about being left for so long. He is up in the window all day waiting for them to come home. Once he starts barking he doesn't know how to stop. My options are 1. knock on their door and tell it how it is, that leaving their dog alone for so long is distressing him and he is is really upset and I'm fed up with hearing him barking and howling. They won't like it. 2. Involve the RSPCA.. the animal act of 2006 covers home alone. They will know it's me, though. 3. Continue to ignore it as I've done for the past 18 months and seethe. Seething is not a good thing. I know you don't want to confront them but perhaps they don't realize the dog barks from the minute they leave until they get back home. I like the suggestion of inviting them for tea; they'll have to hear the dog barking because it will be alone. Then you could mention it barks like that all the time. I don't want to do that - it would freak Boyfie out. He can hardly cope with Claire who fed him twice a day when I was in hospital and looked after us 3 times daily for months . He is not scared of her but he won't allow her to touch him. No one can. Only me. |

I've had enough. It's not the dog's fault. He's lonely. I expect they won't like it but I cannot tolerate it any more. Of course I expect a dog to bark if I have one next door. It's not about that. It's about him never shutting up when they leave him for hours. Fed up with it. 18 months is enough. |

Judith I'm trying to do it nicely, I said in the note that I don't want to fall out about it but they leave him too long and he is horribly lonely and distressed. I expected they might come round to discuss, but no. Although husband came home twice today even though wife was in. I hope I haven't upset them but if I don't tell them about it, they won't know. I've been very patient about the barking "well, he's just settling in" for 18 months and now I've had enough. He won't change now, and the simple reason is that they leave him too long. so they have to sort it out either by a) taking him with them b) taking him elsewhere for someone to look after him when they are out c) getting someone to sit with him. What cannot continue is the consistent barking. I am very fond of dogs, but he's driving me mad. I had to go out at the weekend (even though I didn't want to) to get away from "bark, one second pause, bark, one second pause" etc I hope they take the note in the spirit it was intended. |

That sounds fine, but I hope you also went into some detail and described the consistent barking. I expect you did, but you did not mention it when you described your message to them. MaryL |
