The sound of dogs barking. If I liked that, I‘d be so happy every single day. I‘d wake up and go to sleep to a sound I enjoy. As it is, I will have to move and rent is even more expensive now, just depressing.
I adore dogs but no one really loves dogs barking. Even dogs with a relatively discrete or non-annoying bark pitch will tire any ear if they go into a barking ceremony.
It did make me suffer a lot of nights. I'm new stepmother of 7 dogs. They bark and sing a lot. After a while of suffering I just tried to learn to understand what they are saying, and how their music works. As I gradually get better at that I have now many situations where I immediately know if something's wrong on the farm, or a neighbors dog has come for a visit. But if they are not your dogs the noise can be awful. Especially poor dogs locked up in city apartments or tied to chains as many people do here can be tough to listen to.
My next door neighbour has a dog that just screams and wails all day. It sounds horiffic, but because it's got food water and shelter and doing it in the day time when his owners are at work it's ok (says the local authority).
Keeping a dog on its own is absolutely cruel. Of course he's out of his mind.
Yeah, but what can you do? My ex got a dog, over my objections because since we were split, no one would be home for it. However my vote no longer matters.
Somehow I’m stuck with the cruelty part because the dog just can’t stay home alone but she’s in a townhouse with neighbors. At this point, either the dog is alone in my house suffering, or she gives it back — and my kids have long since bonded. It was a middle aged rescue, so some behavioral issues are more ingrained, and she’s a breed who would certainly not get re-adopted. What can you do?
Every time I look over, I see a total sweetheart cuddling with my kid, not the desperate lonely pooch stuck home alone.
I’m not looking for suggestions: I think we have a good handle on the options, but sometimes those options are not enough
