Merry Barking Christmas...

This was Christmas Day, less than 5 full days after my neighbors received a citation (FINALLY) for allowing their dog to be a barking nuisance. It began around 4 a.m...


But that wasn't the end of it...

The barking continued on throughout the day, until late afternoon when it became very cold and started snowing...thank god for lousy weather...

This is the 3rd year that I haven't been able to enjoy what used to be the quietest day of the year, because on Christmas Day there is very little traffic on our usually well traveled road. It is also the 3rd year that I haven't put up a tree or any decorations.

And they accused me of being a bad neighbor because I called the police.
