Vent.
I live in a pretty nice neighborhood. It's rather new and there are building behind us.
There is a home catty-corner to us and it's 2 story.
Had we known this we might of chosen a different lot. They can literally see into our backyard and into our home through our sliding glass doors. I've seen the woman staring in sometimes too. But who knew this at the time we were building? Not us. But they are quiet folks and that works for me. In fact, everyone around us is quiet.
That was until the catty-corner neighbors bought a dog.
And that dog is outside as much as it can be.
That dog is a yappy, very annoying dog oh yes it is.
Okay side vent.. I hate it when people buy dogs and put them outside all day long. Why have a dog? I mean its different if you live on land, or a farm or something so that dog can roam. But having a dog and keeping him chained up all day outside seems well rather off to me.
Okay back to story..
So yappy dog barks consistently. I mean seriously. It's out there at 7am and out there at 11pm consistently barking.
See I told you annoying. I mean there is nothing like laying in bed {and mind you my windows are closed} hearing yappy dog barking at 11pm and that is what you fall asleep too.
Well on Saturday it was such a nice day I had every single window open. Guess what?
Yappy dog outside. And normally my dogs aren't barkers unless the doorbell rings, or things of that nature. But yappy dogs get my dogs going. So much I end up telling them to be quiet, etc.
Yappy dog's still yapping. It makes it hard to keep windows open because honestly it's not like music to one's ears. It's literally yappy dog all. day. long.
And you might ask don't the owners hear said yappy dog too? I don't really know honestly. I am amazed that if it bothers me, it doesn't bother them.
So here I sit playing a game. I hear voices and realize its my next door neighbor who is talking to some dude about a sprinkler system and laying sod {which I am completely excited about because his backyard is a tundra of weeds and dirt and it looks so icky out there} so guess what?
Yappy dog is yapping and yapping and yapping because there is someone standing really close him and I guess he doesn't like it.
Outta no where, I yell. LOL. That's right I yell and say "shut-up" really loudly. So loudly in fact, that A came running out of her room and thought I was yelling for her. The funny thing is? I don't normally yell. And the other funny thing, A is listening to music and I yelled that loudly, I did! But you know what?
Yappy dog isn't yapping anymore now is he?
And I sit here laughing off and on over the mere fact that not only did A hear me but so did yappy dog's owners.
It worked.
Vent over.

Bah ha it is about time! Tis a good thing that that dog isn't near our house...I would stare through the crack in my blinds till the neighbors left and go over and kick it.
LOL! I wonder how many of my neighbors I annoy;-)
Aww, sorry about the darn yappy dog! :( Yappy dogs aren't a good thing! I get annoyed very easily when the start acting up around here, but thankfully that's not often!
