Disturbing the Peace!!!

I am laying in bed listening to our neighbor's dog continously barking. For some reason writing about it is helping me release some steam. He has been barking for over 2 hours straight, maybe at his own shadow. I have been trying to get some much needed sleep, but Dakota (the barker) is making it almost impossible. Meanwhile, I am looking ahead to the future, when Jeff and I have a baby in here with us and are completely exhausted, trying to sleep and Dakota starts barking non-stop. What ever will we do? I see a bark collar, compliments of Jeff and Candy in Dakota's future. Last night, Dakota decided to grace me with his "singing" at 4am for approx. 45 mins. Can you see my frustration? Thank goodness, our (he's only Jeff's when he's bad..lol) dog, Dutch, is being quiet as a mouse, not bothering anyone in the backyard. I guess Dutch figures he wouldn't be able to get a "word" in. Anyways, I think Dakota must be taking a water break, because I think I hear silence, so I'm going to take advantage and try to get to sleep.

ughhhhhhhhhh!I know how you feel!! We had a dog next door that barked and barked..I used to plan different ways of KILLING him, I was so angry..but then its the OWNERS fault more than the dog...time to talk to the neighbors, before Brooke arrives...it will make you a thousand times madder when you are baby/sleep deprived!!

i agree, landon is 4 weeks old today, and any sleep we get is treasured, especially during the night. maybe have a friendly talk with your neighbor...
