We HATE the dog next door!!!

An open letter to the lady who lives next door...

Dear Lady Who Live Next Door:

I know that you enjoy your enormous, scary dog, but some of us have concerns. Your dog is really, really loud. So loud that it would probably bother you, but you're fortunate enough to go to work during the day. You can't hear your noisy dog throughout the afternoon while it barks at every passing car and every person who walks by. But I CAN hear your dog. Sometimes I'm downstairs working and I hear what sounds like a loud knocking on my door. I go to see if it's the UPS guy, but no! It's your stupid dog!

We have lived through the worst neighbors ever in Chicago. We had a neighbor whose alarm clock played the Nutcracker Suite every morning. We could hear it at 6 am, but he didn't seem to hear it till at least 7:30, at which point we were wide awake, knocking and swearing. That same neighbor had an infant and a 2 year old that cried at different times, pretty much covering all of the night and day.

But nothing, Lady Who Lives Next Door, is more annoying than your dog! Because we know that if we walk outside while you are taking out the dog, it will likely bark and thrust at us as though it wants to kill us as much as we want to kill it. I spend a good deal of time thinking of ways to knock off your dog without being caught. I would recommend that you send your dog to doggie day care before I get out of control.

Sincerely,
Laura and Dave (We hate your dog!!!)
