Cinnamon Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thats really interesting reading, thanks. Our old staffie Gizmo once ate a full jar of Colemans English mustard...got her tongue right down to the bottom & licked the jar clean. Our new staffie Millie is a bit more refined & won't eat anything unless she is told that she can go ahead & eat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clare* Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hmmm, after having to go and complain at 11.30 last night to the neighbours about their dog that had been constantly barking since 8.30,I'll have to bear this in mind Oh, and they let it back out at 6.30 this morning to carry on barking I am sooooo tired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Try calling the council Hon, I understand that if they do it consistently they can be reported, especially after 11pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 That is what i think I am going to have to do. It's almost every night always starts around 8-9 if we are lucky. Most of the time its after midnight and can go on till 1 or 2. They just leave it outside barking,it does not even pause for breath in all that time. Its a King Charles spanial. Its a house full of kids, dad always at the pub when I go round. It's usually him rolling in at 1 or 2 letting the dog out at that time!

The Dogmother Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Nasty man I would give the council a ring Clare*, you shouldn't have to put up with that nuisance. I had to go round to the house that backs on to us last summer - some people had moved in there temporarily and left their dog outside all day - more mutt. I had a nice word and explained that I was concerned that the dog might have been abandoned (tongue in cheek). It soon stopped. It's always worth trying to talk to them personally first. Good luck.
