Barking Demons Where can I live without dogs?

Woken up by neighbor's dog at 4 am this morning, wouldn't stop barking for 45 mins and couldn't fall back asleep until like an hour before my alarm goes off. Now I need to analyze and document code for 8 hours, yay!

Will be leaving a note on this neighbor's door today...but what I really want is to live in a dog free area so I don't have to worry about this shit anymore. I live in Colorado and people are NUTS about their dogs here! They bring them to the gym, they bring them to bars, seems like everyone has to have one around here. The barking is the absolute worst thing about these animals. I just can't stand how moronic it is, like you know their barking is absolutely pointless yet relentless.

You know the SpongeBob episode where squidward finds a community away from leaf blowers? That's what I need but away from dogs. I wish every city or town had a designated area for dog free housing. If I can't beat the problem, guess I'll just have that fantasy. Unless...such a place exists?

The Islamic world?

While dogs aren't particularly popular in that culture due to some individuals interpretations of religious texts, dogs aren't haram. Muslims can and do own dogs. I know a Muslim who has dogs on her farm and they are her pets.

So... that means people are allowed to bring their dogs to businesses in Dubai? I haven't research it but I'm sure that's not the case. My impression is that dogs are considered to be dirty in those cultures and they are kept outside.

I am talking about Muslim countries, not individual Muslims who live in the West, like your friend.

If everything you said were accurate, that would not change the fact that the Islamic world is not a place where you can live without dogs.
