actually, all kidding aside are you sure the dog isn't being abused? if it fears its owner that can't be a good sign. . .

Make friends with the dog. Be confident and gentle. Nearly all dogs will respond to that in a positive way.

no fair game on children, because the parents typically sue. especially in the "less advantaged" neighborhoods...

I can't say what's going on there... I suspect that they are all taking turns fucking the poor beast.

There is no befriending this vile creature of the night... this dog is the minature, dwarf spawn of the evil Satan dog's retarded twin brother with dyslexia, Bell's Palsy, a wicked speech impediment, halitosis, a vile underbite and mange.

Not even Lucifer himself could love that fucking cur!

ohhh. poor critter. dang. you know, there are legal recourses. document the time and date of each barking incident which violates the noise oridnance (10:00p -7:00a). write it down. make a good faith effort to resolve the situation by calling the neighbor. call i think animal control office and ask them to intervene. the neighbor gets a letter, then eventually fined.


of course, if they're assholes they'll take it out on the dog.

poor dog

I'd build a 6 ft high, sound absorbing wall, between me and that neighbor.

The dog that inspired this thread is allowed to roam outside in the yard... no fence, no leash, not tied... free to terrorize.

I know you're joking, but I've met some scary dogs in my day. I'm a big time dog person and I usually have a great rapport with them, familiar or not. I've befriended many formerly exacerbatory dogs before. However, there was this one female dog in the neighborhood who just had the most soulless eyes. I couldn't find anything to connect with and was always careful around her.

Most dogs, however, generally like people and will befriend you if you approach gently but confidently. I usually just kneel down to get on the dog's level and slowly outstretch my hand so that the dog can smell it. It generally works.

See, that's what I like about IceNine! Just when you think you've exhausted a thread, he takes it to unexpected, breathtaking new levels. Wow!

Then I would tape the dog barking, and play it on my stereo whenever they went outside. This player would be activated by a motion sensor on the their side of the house. I'd have a huge PA speaker pointed in their direction.

i pick B...




ice i wonder do you really do any of those options at anytime?

ya know feel the urge to savagely beat down some old people or a dog ..

You always feel the urge to savagely beat people, you just don't act on that urge.

Tempt the mangy hound into your car with a piece of meat, drive far,far way and release the offending animal.

or make the rabid beast bite you, and have it destroyed for being a dangerous animal.

easy.

Pull a Newman/Kramer on the mutt...
I'm sure you've got more balls than Elaine,
so you WON'T back out!

This is advice coming from someone who's been
biten 3 times by dogs. 3 TIMES!!!
