What's the deal with bad neighbors? Our neighborhood is more like a dog kennel than a place where humans live. The dogs outnumber the people. They live outside 24/7 in the hot California sun, locked in the backyards, and they neurotically bark 24/7. Despite being against the law to lock your dog up and allow it to bark for hours, each owner is determined to let their dog be a nuisance. We've tried every legal option to deal with the barking issue, but no luck. One home went and got a third dog after learning the barking bothered us. Really, moving is our only option if we want to get away from this.
 Yes, these people are all breaking the law, but laws seem to be very hard to enforce in California, as we have learned. And our neighbors know exactly what they can get away with.

I was a dog owner for 23 years, and Jerry's family still has a dog (as seen in previous vlogs). We don't hate dogs. We love animals. We've also cared for fifteen cats since living here. All strays that were abandoned or the feral kittens that they then had. We've brought eight of those cats into our home and have found homes for five of them so far (and continue to foster the remaining three). Our issue is with the people who leave their dogs outside everyday, even in triple digit valley heat, to bark their brains out. The barking is relentless and we endure 15 - 20 hours of barking a day, and have for the past five years. We wake up to it, listen to it all day, and fall asleep to it. If we knew how much time and energy would have been devoted to barking dogs we never would have moved here. 

Not only is this our home, it's also our office and studio. This is where we work, meet with clients, film & do voice recording, etc. Barking ruins just about everything. I wish people would take responsibility for the pets they've chosen to have rather than making the good neighbors out to be bad people for wanting some quiet in their own home. 

I just read on another channel, someone compared a guy who was also plagued by barking to H*tler, for not wanting to hear it. That is the mentality of these people. It's just sick. People have a right to the quiet enjoyment of their property. Nuisance barking is against the law. It's a terrible sound for no other reason than lazy careless negligent inconsiderate owner. It's not accomplishing anything other than annoying people. 

This barking is driving us all nuts, wish us luck!
