Dogs Barking - 24 Of The *** Things

[Barmaid]

Am I being unreasonable? I moved into my new property in Feb. When I viewed it in December it was all peace and quiet. It transpired within days of moving in that the people across the lane have dogs. 24 dogs to be precise.

Slowly these damn dogs have got up my nose. To the extent that today (which proved to be a difficult day work wise and I couldnt work in the house due to the fact that my living room ceiling nearly collapsed so I had to work in the conservatory) I have very nearly lost it. These *** dogs started barking at about 3pm. Since then it has been constant, yap yap fecking yap yap yap. I suspect the owners are not there and so in my experience these damn things will bark all *** night. Mainly I try and screen it out. But it has reached crisis point. I LOVE my new home for the sanctity and sanity it provides. Part of me thinks "you moved to the country, you should put up with it", but just lately these fecking dogs have yapped constantly. Part of me thinks "For Funks Sake, shut those damn hounds up". Someone cheer me up before I do something that the dogs might regret (and I get it is not the dogs' fault).

A couple of house moves ago, we had a pair of Dobies and a Neighbour who didn't like dogs. he was always moaning about them barking, and giving me recordings of them barking. I set up my own recording kit, audio and video, which proved they only barked if someone came to the door, but he kept on moaning.
Long story short, he moved before we did ;o)
