My Mother's Madness

Today, my mom got into madness because of the neighbor's dog's non-stop barking. I cannot blame her because it is becoming out-of-hand. According to her, the neighbor's dog is being caged. That's the reason why she calls the master's attention to uncage it and put it in his house. Are you that patient enough to deal with your insensitive neighbors? Image Credit: pbs.twimg.com

@LadyDuck I agree. They are so rude because they keep on making loud noises. They stopped when being confronted.

This is also my mom's reason. The first encounter with the master will serve as the first warning.

@Shavkat If they do not understand, it means they are rude, so I know that only the police helps.

THAT's your mom? Dude! I wouldn't mess with her if I were you!

You need to go shoot the dogs or something or your mom might make you go live with the dogs so you can shut them up whenever one starts to bark!

Damn!

Well, I got her evil side, too.

She did it not only for herself. There are a baby and an old woman who is suffering from a kidney problem. They also need to have enough sleep and not be disturbed.

@DaddyEvil Yes, I can do it. It will fall to public disturbance. I am trying to find the contact number of the nearest police precinct.

@Shavkat Hmmm... I'll remember that.

You should check and see if there are laws in your area about disturbing the peace. If there are, call the police and complain. You can even do that anonymously.

Even my mother, if her neighbors were noisy, she would scold her neighbors for disturbing her peace.

She did the right thing. These neighbors do not own the whole neighborhood to create a loud noise.

If this neighbor will not do something about it, then they are really provoking us. One thing for sure, they will be reported if they continue to this.

@mosherii It is not allowed to have drinking sessions here. If they do, they will be penalized.

@Shavkat or maybe they are not around or are they drunkards? No normal person will be that incentive.

I agree. I cannot understand why they need it. They have a closed gate. Let the dog play around. This idea did not come across to their empty head.

The reason why my mom did it because she cannot sleep long enough because of this. I also planning to confront the owner. I do not want my mom to decrease her immune system because of a lack of sleep.

How about buying from Lazada or Shopee that electronic device which they claim pacifies/silences noisy dogs? I think I've come across that kind of gadget sometime ago.

There is nothing more disruptive to me than a dog that is constantly barking. I can blame your mom for saying something.

It is fine if it barks at random. If it is non-stop, then that is really not acceptable.

@HazySue I find it weird because it seems that they are not affected by the non-stop barking of their dog. There is an improvement today because they are calling his name Franky to stop whining early in the morning.

Our immediate neighbor has a Pomeranian that barks and when it does it doesn't want to stop. Sometimes it really irritates me, but still I say nothing as there is an old lady with serious heart ailments live there.

I wondered if this old lady is not affected by the barkings. Below our house, there is an old lady that is not in a good condition. My concern is she might not sleep well and it will result in to decrease the immune system.

I'm lucky because I have peace loving neighbors. But the thing is those far neighbors during early morning they free their dogs out to poop and they don't even bother to sweep.

Well, we just moved in here early this year. They are not our good neighbors. last valentine's day, they left the dog without any food and water and it barks 24 hours. The next day, my mother called their attention again. If they do this again, we are going to formally complain to them in our barangay here.
