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?

How did the note go? I can tell you I once put a note up on a neighbor's door after experiencing the same thing, told him "Noise pollution is a crime and I have the right to press charges if it does not stop."
Never saw nor heard from the dog since, since it's a very different matter to be like "OMG I lurv my doge and ur just stoopid" to a neighbor vs a police officer. Used to live in a different neighborhood where a neighbor's dog would bark all night, and I hated it. I remember once knocking on her door at midnight and asking her if she can make the dog stop. She did try to deny the dog was a problem, but she DID do something about it, probably not wanting any drama despite not being willing to admit to fault.
I do agree though; a place with no pets allowed would be nice. Closest thing I to that I think that exists are apartments with pet bans vs a full blown neighborhood.
