And I guess if their dog was barking, you'd jump the fence and do him in
as
well. Did you ever consider telling them it was annoying and ask them to
take it down before you trespassed and destroyed private property? And why
do you think your desire/right for peace and quiet supercedes theirs for
what they obviously considered an appealling ornament hanging on THEIR
property? If you pulled that stunt with me, I'd promptly go out and buy a
dozen of the biggest, loudest freaking windchimes I could find and hang
them
from every corner and then set up fans to blow them around just in case
there wasn't enough wind. And I don't even care about the things one way
or
the other, but I'd sure as hell be ****ed if YOU decided to do something
about 'em without even the simple courtesy of asking first.

Jeez, did you ever strike a nerve! I would take a whole yard full of wind
chimes in our neighbor's yard compared to one yapping (screaming), little
dog that never quits. These new neighbors put the beast out on a chain in
the morning when they go to work and don't take it in until they return home
in the afternoon. I can't work in the yard during the day without the thing
driving me crazy nor open a windows without being invaded by its noise.

We recently politely asked the neighbor if he would do something about its
constant screaming and made some suggestions about collars or training. He
became belligerent and yelled at us because we came into his yard to
complain about his dog and told us he would make his dog stop barking with
the barking bothered him.

The city has ordinances about noisy animals, but the county area were we
live has none. The thought about jumping over the fence (actually a gully
divides our property) and doing it in has occurred to me! Any worthwhile
suggestions are welcome........
