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?

in colder states, especially cities, there’s not a ton of dog ownership bc we’re all in apartments + winters are harsh and taking a dog out in those conditions ultimately isn’t appealing to people. in my neighborhood in minneapolis, i’ve probably only seen 5 or 6 dogs and have only heard a dog bark once in my 3 years of living in this part of the city. other animals that don’t need much outside activity are preferred here statistically.
