I thought we finally resolved the barking dogs issue, but it's started up again.  People have been leaving their dogs outside in the Santa Ursula, Las Tablas, and Candelaria area.  They must take off and leave them to bark outside during all hours of the day and night.  Please, if you are a pet owner, have some consideration for your neighbors and put your pets inside if you are not at home or attend to them if you are and they start barking incessantly.  Thanks.

Dogs bark like people talk.  Lets look at the positive side of an outdoor dog.

 

1. Barking keeps wild animals away.

2. It alerts people when someone is in the green belt or walking the streets late at night.

3. It keeps buglers away.

I have 2 dogs and they bark, A neighbor complained so I know bring them inside but only at night.  On Halloween, my house was rolled.  If I had my dogs outside where they belong, I would have been woken up and could have prevented that mess.  Remember dog bark!

I think you may be out numbered in your opinion about the value of barking dogs.  There are people who try to work from home or sleep during the day and barking dogs become very annoying.  Also, there are noise ordinances.

As for keeping burglars away, consider setting your house alarm.

I work the 3rd shift and sleep during the day. Every once in awhile I get woken up by the next door barking dog. I have to consider the inconsiderate people though that leave their dog out while who knows where the owner is.

It's the same thing with the sub bass in the cars that pass by on a regular schedule.

Stupid ignorant people.
