And the hits just keep on coming

Yesterday we had a visit from Animal Control. Apparently a complaint was made to the Homeowners Office over the weekend about our dogs. They bark. {Gasp!!} Big Shocker - they're dogs.

After calling the Homeowners office to find out exactly what the complaint was about,i was basically told that if they get another complaint, we would be fined by the city.

First of all - they're dogs, barking is what they do. I don't complain about the neighbors talking too loud in the yard when they're doing yardwork.
Second of all - they're not out at all hours of the day and night, and never past 8pm.
Third of all - when the police officer came to the house i was upstairs and didn't come to the door cause i figured it was UPS. he called the homeowners office while in my driveway and said that he could hear my dog barking. my dogs were inside at the time and did not bark. so officer animal control lied.
Fourth - they're dogs. get over it stupid neighbors. if you have a problem come talk to us.

So i did a little research on line about controlling dog barking and found a gadget that emits a super-sonic noise (only dogs can hear) when a dog barks within a certain distance. wow!! my poor dog barked and almost peed her pants (had she been wearing any). the gadget worked like it's meant to and they don't bark outside, unfortunately they no longer want to be outside either.
