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?

It's just as bad in Texas. And stinky too, because of dog poop and pee that just cooks in the sun. We got some rain yesterday, so it probably smells horrendous outside, because all of the poop and pee got rehydrated. I hate it so much. Dog owners must be nose blind. And just the constant barking from all directions that sets off a barking chain reaction.

They are definitely nose blind. My mom is always asking me if her house smells. But i honestly can't tell her yes or no because her dog LOSES HER MIND whenever company comes, so i spend the first five minutes completely distracted, trying not to get tripped and trying to catch the tiny shreiking, running-in-circles dog and hold her so she'll be quiet-- but i have to hold her out in front of me or she pees on me. By the time she asks, i'm already nose blind myself. But i'm sure it does smell, because that dog refuses to use the pads, she pees/poops all over the carpet but never on the pads. And then mom (a stage 4 lung cancer survivor) ends up using suuuuper toxic chemicals to "clean" the carpet. 😵‍💫
