Yep...thats right I live in a Duplex and ive yet to find anything joyous about it. My family and I have lived in this particular place for just over a year and I am growing increasingly impatient with my slightly less than wonderful neighbor. A few months ago my neighbors teenage daughter acquired an adorable Golden Retriever puppy. The kids (those being my neighbors 3 children and her daycare kids) oh...did I forget to mention that she runs an in home daycare..??? Anyway...the kids were out every day in the beginning to play with this dog...well its quite apparent that the novelty of this puppy has worn off. This poor dog (she has grown quite a bit) now spends countless hours day and night tied up outside on a chain BARKING and BARKING and BARKING some more. First it was tied to the front of her house from about 6 am on...which coincidentally is directly below my bedroom window..and yes I like to sleep until at least 7. However...as I am typing this she has moved this poor dog to the back of her house...which is directly out my patio door from my living room and its been barking non stop for over an hour now.
I feel utterly trapped in this house. I have to keep my blinds closed because I too have dogs and if they catch a glimpse of her dogs (oh yeah..she has 2 dogs)..barking they will in turn bark as well. I try to be responsible and keep my dogs #1 inside and #2 QUIET to the best of my ability but I feel as though she does not respect me enough to have the same courtesy for my family.
Perhaps I am a pushover or maybe I do not want to rock the boat so to speak because I have only complained to the landlord once. I have been close to calling the police a few times, but I really dont want to start a feud of any sort so I try to ignore it. I have prayed for god to grant me patience in this situation...and now I ask that anyone who reads this can do the same for me.
