That is sad. Bassets are very clingy and emotionally needy dogs. That said, it’s hard to keep bassets from barking or howling sometimes. They’re vocal dogs.
Perhaps he is performing the famous barking dog solo. Is Billy Collins your neighbor on the other side?
Actually, the meat is pretty fatty. But the soup it was in was damn good.
Ever had rabbit? They eat their own poo once a day.
The neighbors behind me have dogs that always seem to be barking. I can’t even go out in my back yard without being barked at. I’ve occasionally yelled “shut up” when they are barking at inappropriate times but I don’t really want to confront them directly because they’re thuggy white guys and they have big Rotties.
But do they have pigeon coops ?
But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Not that I’ve seen but I think they have a scraper.
So do I. I use it to get the ice off my windshield during the winter.
No bacon? That sucks.
You think? If you don’t know it when you see it, it ain’t a scraper.
You know you can call the cops on barking dogs, right? I used to do it all the time on my former neighbors. Around here you can definitely do it after 10, and I think before that if it barks continuously for more than half an hour or something. At 3 AM when the dog has been going all night I had no problem diming the po po.
No, I’d just rather not (ba dum dum)
Cite?
Nope. Guess why? 
Yeah, personality that slobbers and pisses all over me. I’ll pass on that “personality”. Cats can at least figure out how to go to the bathroom without doing it all over your friends (and your couch, and your car, and your friends’ cars, and your friends’ apartments…)
But bacon tastes goooood. Pork chops taste gooooooooood!
I’ve bitched about her before, but the goddamn dog in the adjoining house needs to STFU!! Every little thing that goes by, even if it pays her no mind, she has to bark her head off at. It’s not like she’s protecting the house from an immediate threat; I’m talking dogs walking by way down the street.
Thank goodness it’s closed-windows weather, because over the summer it was so fucking unbearable.
I used to have chickens, while I don’t recall them eating their own poo, they definitely ate the dog’s…
At one point we got half a dozen chicks, supposedly all female but a cockerel snuck in. Bastard was loud too. The neighbours complained and the council came to investigate. We were breaking noise pollution laws and were given a warning. We tried all the tricks, putting him in a low cage at night so he couldn’t stand up to crow, covering him with a thick blanket so he couldn’t see the sun rise… Nothing worked. Eventually we managed to sell him and two nice hens at a Farmer’s Market. He probably ended up in a pot but that would have been the only alternative anyway…
Thankfully all the dogs I’ve owned (never more than one at a time, all bitches) have been easily trained. Dogs barking all the time are not too common around my area. It’s almost always the fault of piss-poor owners, it frustrates the hell out of me. I especially hate the incessant yapping of smaller dogs (and small dogs in general…), they have an ear piercing quality that compares to none*.
*Except maybe a particularly loud cockerel (seriously, I can’t blame the neighbours for complaining)…
So you’re saying that she’s an insufferable, noisy bitch?

Uh… being around chickens??? One poops and another will peck at it; seen it with my own eyes. Spend a little time around them and you will too. Close enough to eatin’ for me. Still, I likes me some chicken!
Gee…if you walk your dog in the morning before work, they will not bark through the day…these are just neglected dogs…
:smack: Damnit!
