    So guys i'm all moved into my new house. Nice part of the city and everything else. All particulars arranged. All good.

    After the first peaceful, pleasant night's sleep, things were going along swimmingly.

    But for the last week the neighbours dog has been yapping like a little b**** ( :mad: ) and my wife and I haven't had a full nights sleep since.

    So i go see the neighbour yesterday - went a little something like this

    Aussie Rocket ... "hi there neighbour, your dog sure can cause some disturbance through the night"

    Unimpressed neighbour ... "tell someone who cares"

    now short of stun gunning this bloody woofer (and its owner) what would you guys suggest? street petition? Anyone been through this before that can offer any advice?

    Thanks in advance.

    I believe it was started by Manny Ramirez, so if you sorted the Hangout by thread starter, one could probably find it. I don't have the patience,however.

    The search's automatic rejection of random words is annoying.

    What was the solution there? Didn't Manny have to be put down?

    I was trying to figure out how many threads Manny had started after you suggested this. Given that Manny is a poster on roids, I was going to make a needle in a haystack comment as he has started 523 threads in the Hangout. And somehow, in about the three titles I read while I was flipping through trying to find the last page of his posts, I found it.

    Do you have an active Homeowners Association? Mine is VERY active, sometimes to the point of being really annoying.

    But...

    In their little newsletter, they list all of the letters they send out for things like leaving trash cans in yard for too long, not mowing, etc. One of the reasons they send a letter is for a barking dog and they sent out 4 of these letters last month.

    Maybe you can let them know about your neighbor.

    Buy one of those silent whistles. Then blow it like Pamela Anderson on ecstasy. Make sure no one in the neighborhood gets any sleep. If you do that enough, plenty of other neighbors should start complaining and the dog owners should have to do something.

    I've heard of neighbors taking each other to court over dog barking and other annoyances like that.

    Man, I have the same problem. I'm staying up in Michigan with family right now, and they have this little 6-month old black lab/chihuaha mix and the little thing yips all night, seriously, its a very loud, obnoxious sound that makes me grate my teeth.

    Not being able to bark is the ONLY reason why I'd want a cat instead.

    Trick the dog into walking on your property, then knock it unconscious with a baseball bat or something. Bring it into the kitchen and get something like a butcher knife. You first want to skin the dog, if you do it right, it should peel right off, depending on the breed. If the dog wakes up, slit its jugular and hold it underwater until it stops struggling. After skinning, begin chopping off the appendages and cutting up the torso into manageable chunks. Get a thin sharp knife and work your way around the bone to remove them. Have a big bowl handy to put the meat into, and a trash can for the bones, fat, organs and unneeded flesh. You can keep the head for your own use, but you generally just want the meat. Grind up all the meat or chop it into very fine chunks.
    Now you want to start boiling water for the spaghetti. Have another saucepan and put in 1 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 2 diced tomatoes, a clove of garlic and bring it to a boil. Add the meat into it, boil it, then cover and put it on simmer. Cook the pasta until it is at the softness you want.

    Go over to the neigbor's house and say that you were sorry you were a pain yesterday, the wife cooked up some spaghetti with meat sauce for you, I hope we can be cool now.

    Go home and celebrate by propping up your feet, sipping some Welch's grape juice and beating it to Pokemon.
