Well, in recent memory. It was freaky. I was tempted to call some type of agency but really, I may have won a battle but lost a war. I admit I was also a bit chicken to call anyone. I'm not one for big hassles and standing on my principles. I hope I would be for some bigger issue but in this case, I didn't think it was worth it. I knew that really, I had to move out. Fighting would have just delayed the inevitable. Ricardo: I have never been so pissed in my life. Well, in recent memory. It was freaky.

The bastard. You could have called the Humane Society or something and got these people into trouble. Earplugs? Unacceptable. Could he just die! The bastard.

Very-very quiet. Visions of mayhem may dance in my head but ... they serve no purpose to act on them unless you want to be served papers at a later date. Or time. Better just to remove myself from the situation. Plus, I am small. Not much good at smacking people. I have raised my fist at someone and he pointed at it, laughed, and said, "What a cute fist!" Sheesh. <strong>Get More Traffic</strong>: Pets weren't allowed in my rental agreement. I'm actually allergic to pet dander although I may no longer be. Lately I've been around dogs and cats and haven't had much problem. I didn't think you could outgrow an allergy to pet dander but maybe I have. I did have the fantasy of "using the little dogs as bait to catch bigger dogs" but I seldom blame animals - it's the owners who are at fault. I did read your comment where you called me a bbb in HMTKSteve's blog. I admit I burst into tears and cried, "Nobody loves me! Nobody loves me!" and "Why is he being so mean to me?" Bad times. Seriously bad times. Actually, I wasn't sure since I'm not familiar with your blog or your "tone" if you were teasing me or dissing me. I gave you the benefit of the doubt since your avatar looks sarcastic. Apology accepted! <strong>SaraDevil: </strong>I had to look your dog up. Now I know what type of breed I call "the little mop dogs" are. ;-) That is incredible you trained it not to yap at all! It's probably easier for you, too, what with people going in and out all day. You sound like a very responsible dog owner! My guess is that you're a very considerate, respectful person as well. All the dog owners I've met who pick up after their dog, leash in their dogs when you approach (if you're a stranger) and in general respect that fact that some people are frightened of dogs, seem to be "good people." I can see you must read the text I associate with my photos! Sometimes I amuse myself with them but you're the first who's mentioned it. I thought that the pop-up message might not work for everyone when they hover their mouse over the image. Sue: I’m the type that gets very quiet when angry. Very-very quiet.

I have actually trained it not to yap at all. It yapped for one night. Then I learned that it was afraid of the dark as a puppy so I would put him in my warm bathroom at night with the lights on until he grew out of it. He barked at me exactly once when he was about four months old. That was the last bark I ever heard out of him. I live in a first floor apartment with people going up and down loudly all day. Dog just looks at the door quizzically, looks at me, and goes back to eating my socks. He doesn't yap. But he does eat my socks. It was a trade off. I love your picture of hell.

Big dogs have a way of keeping little dogs quiet. Or, they could have barked even louder that your neighbors understood. If nothing, you should have moved to plan be and made them vicious and scary to be around. That way you could have told your neighbor, once he confronts you about them, to grow some balls and stop wining. You think? Oh, and sorry for calling you a baby bitch blogger, you're really not. I kinda like you. Maybe you should have purchased some bigger dogs and kept them near the puppies.
