<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Personally, I would never leave my dogs
out when I'm not home. There are too many fanatics or crazies out
there. I'm not taking a chance my dogs would be let loose or
stolen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>At the moment I have 9 dogs that I love
dearly. But, I hate constant barking. Especially barking for what I
consider no reason. Letting me know the neighbors are getting a new roof
if one thing. Continuing to bark at the workers for 5, 10 15 minutes or
more is quite another.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>I might find
construction/tractor/chainsaw noises annoying but eventually those noises
fade to the backgroud and almost become "white noise". But constant
barking grates on my last nerve. (so does Rap music but that is
another story). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>I don't think I would ever turn a
barking dog into animal control, well maybe if it went on for hours and
then I would be worried about the dog.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>But I can understand your sister's
neighbors annoyance. Barking dogs, especially when no one is home
comes accross as very inconsiderate, may even border (in some people's mind) on
neglect. </FONT></DIV>
