Hi Neighbor

This is the letter that we put in our neighbor's mailbox yesterday:


September 30, 2008

Dear Neighbor,

You may not realize that your dog has been barking most all of the night for the last few weeks. Our bedroom window faces the dog, and most nights the barking keeps us both awake. I’m not sure of the reason for the barking or the solution, but we would appreciate anything you can do to limit the volume of the barking so close to our bedroom.

Thanks

Alex & Lettie

Awesome...

We left out the suggestions that we have been coming up with at 3 a.m. like: cut his chain and let him free, stick a shock collar on his ass or put some peanut butter on the end of a shotgun barrel. (I'm just kidding! Y'all know we love animals!)

poor thing

I wanted to throw a shovel at him 2 nights ago. I pulled myself together though.

I suggested to Jess that we should call the cops and have them figure out whose dog it was. Let them get woken up with a squad car in their driveway at 3am. That would almost make up for some of the lost sleep. (I guess the sound waves were turning some corners on their way to our window so we couldn't pinpoint where the dog was.) Thanks for finding a solution! It was much quieter last night.

My parents put a bark (shock) collar on their dog. Worked like a charm.

Alex needs to go over there Army Ranger style and rescue the dog, then buy some fake AKC papers on the Internet and sell it as a pure breed.

No more dog, you turn a profit, and the dog will get some attention from the new owner.

Option 5: "Win-Win-Win"

Your letter was great except instead of "Alex and Lettie Burns" you should have put "Clark and Emily Grissom".
