I can't imagine! I'm such a grump when I don't get my sleep. My husband used to live in an apartment below a couple who was the worst. They used to scream at each other literally all night and then have loud intense make up sex during the day. Ew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neighbor-dog#post-183752 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:08:25 +0000 cyneswith 183752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It'll be a visit (as I said, we've only been here two weeks - haven't even had a chance to wave hello yet) if the dog is at it again tonight. They'll get up two visits (or a visit and a letter) before I call the police. Local noise ordinances DO forbid excessive barking between 10 PM and 7 AM. While I am in the "good fences make good neighbors" boat, I'm also in the "try to be nice to your neighbors" boat. </p> <p>On the plus side, I'm manically gleeful when I'm tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neighbor-dog#post-183394 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:44:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 183394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OH man I feel for you, I can't imagine! You are stronger than me, I would be sending that neighbor a very stern letter in the mail about the noise and a threat to call the Humane Society if it doesn't stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neighbor-dog#post-183388 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:41:15 +0000 Sammyfab 183388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They leave their dogs out overnight?!?!? I would be super annoyed. We have neighbours that have a yappy bichon that we've heard barking at 11:30pm and 6am and we grumble about that. What you went through last night is totally unacceptable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neighbor-dog#post-183352 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:13:17 +0000 heffalump 183352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you must live in my mom's neighborhood. She has that very same neighbor. I only go for visits and it drives me nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/neighbor-dog#post-183310 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:48:33 +0000 cyneswith 183310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not asking for advice here, really. Just venting.</p> <p>We just moved to a new house. My reasons behind this were having a place to lock up the cats so they don't wake me up 10 times a night, not having the downstairs neighbors sexy times wake me up at random hours (she was a screamer), and living somewhere where a newborn won't disrupt the neighbors.</p> <p>We've lived here for a little over two weeks now, and the sleep was awesome... For a week. And over the last week until 7:30 am, when the neighbor dog started howling and whimpering, I assume because they left for work and school. But I can take that - it was no more disruptive than my cat running around. It'd be nicer if that didn't coincide with the whole pregnant-belly-getting-big-enough-to-make-sleep-awkward phase, but whatever.</p> <p>Then last night, at about 10 pm, the barking started (they have two dogs, and the bigger one has a deep, booming bark). I went to bed at 1:30 am (DH gets home at 10:30, so we sleep from about 1:30-9:30am.) At 3:30 am, I give up on sleeping in my own bed and go to sleep on the couch - I can still hear the dog, but not as loud. At around 4 or so, the dog settles down. Starts barking again at 5 until 6:30, when the neighbor finally lets the wretched beast in. I go back to my bed until 8:30 when the howling starts again. (If it happens again tomorrow with a similar degree of insanity, I'll go talk to the neighbors.)</p> <p>Anyone else have anything going on in their neighborhood that is driving them batty? </p>
