From a happy ghetto dog, running in the hill country, to a small city lot in a subdivision, he may not be getting enough exercise; he's bored so he barks. I feel bad for him, and for you too, Rick. You are doing all you can under trying circumstances.

I hear dogs barking out here in Katy all the time and no one seems to mind. I guess we're just more dog friendly out here. I'm sorry you had such a rough week. And poor Joe. :(Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14897880302813374716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277767193664515946.post-88115664196022901832012-06-15T17:49:25.196-05:002012-06-15T17:49:25.196-05:00OMG - I'm so sorry, Rick.

I have noisy dogs around me here, but I know Lulu can sometimes be noisy too, so we all maintain an unspoken agreement, don't rat on me and I won't rat on you. If that's not possible, than you've done the best thing. Joe's barking probably sets of Sable, if he's quiet, hopefully she will be too. You're the one who has to be in control of the situation, not the dogs. Show the neighbours what you've done.. that demonstrates you are trying to resolve the problem, and they might feel a little guilty! Good luck. :)Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795048341687490817noreply@blogger.com
