Ok, so amongst many of the reasons I'm not the biggest fan of living in fabulous (note: sarcasm) Lawton, Oklahoma is the incessant barking of the dogs that live next door on BOTH sides of our house. To our left lives little yippy dog that loves to bark in the early morning. On our right, is some strange larger mixed breed dog I've named Meanie, because that's what he is. Even now after living here for close to 2 months and seeing me every day he never fails to bark like bloody murder at the front gate of his fence EVERY time I go check the mail or put the trash out. I just don't get why my neighbors bother having dogs to stick them in their yard all day and night long. Isn't the point of pet to spend time with them and interact with them? Also, I get the sweet pleasure of living in a house from the 70's which means the windows are paper thin and you hear EVERY noise outside. So, for the love of God, Yippie and Meanie...knock it off!

P.S. I'm by no means a dog hater, just can't stand back yard barking dogs ALL THE TIME!
