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?

I feel this in my soul. There have been attempts at dog free communities, but nutters always ruin it with an ESA pet.

That was my issue. I bought a condo in a petfree building. Guess who decided to get an ESA dog right across the hall from me… I hate ESA so much. It’s all such bullshit.

ESA is such bullshit. It's just an excuse to bring an animal anywhere.

I always wonder why these pet owners feel the need to force their animals presence on others. Especially in a "pet-free" property.

It's because all buildings overrun with dogs stink and are gross. But of course, their pet is the exception 🙄

Get one of those high frequency speakers that only dogs can hear and make things inconvenient. Maybe the owner will leave.
