I hate our neighbor's dogs. He has two dogs, and one of them is dumb as a sack of hammers. She barks at everything. Wind, traffic, birds, the sky, life in general, any excuse whatsoever to bark her head off. She has a particular fondness for barking at 2 in the morning.
Lately though, it’s been completely out of control and Rachel figured out why the barking increased so much: They’re being harassed by birds.
See, their owner locks them into big dog carriers at night, While I appreciate the fact that this generally shuts them up, that hasn’t worked because there are these black birds that come up and steal dog food. Of course, they can’t eat the dog food so they carry it up to the tin patio roof and try to drop it (over and over and over) to break it. It never works. Then for some reason the birds carry it over to our side of the patio and put it onto our patio furniture.
So on one hand, I have a little (tiny) bit of sympathy for them. On the other, man, I just wish they’d just the hell up.Labels: birds, idiots, neighbors, pets |
