[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that the dog's needs come before yours. It's that you don't live in a bubble, so you've got to deal with the normal inconveniences of the place where you live. Dogs being around, acting like dogs, are one of those inconveniences, I'm guessing, based on the description of your neighborhood.

Here's a comparison: I live on a busy street with lots of bars. My husband and I are old fogeys who go to bed around 11. On weekends, we can hear the youngsters yelling "woo woo" till 2 or 3 in the morning as we're in bed. There is a damn salsa band that plays at the bar across the street from us that is loud every single Friday and Sat night. These things are annoying. But we moved to a place where these are the preexisting conditions - we can't very well expect that the neighborhood is going to change, just because we're irritated.

There are things that can bug you, sure, but if they are a normal part of life in the place where you choose to live, I don't think that you get to complain too much. [/quote]

Are the youngsters or salsa band partying on your lawn or property?

I don't care what dogs or their owners do on their own property or space, or even public space, but not controlling their dog enough to avoid interference with their property, is no one's responsibility but the owner. [/quote]

The noise affects us. So in that sense, yes, they are partying in our apartment. I'm sure you understand that. (And we live in the city, so we don't have a yard.)

We also have a realistic sense of what it means to live in a crowded place. And we don't have an overly developed sense of entitlement about how others should comport themselves. We complain to ourselves. My husband grumbles every single weekend. That's life; it's not always 100% the way you want it, when you don't have control over the whole kingdom.

Again, to the homicidal maniac who is considering killing people's pets because their cleaned-up poop is SUCH an problem: consult a lawyer before moving forward. I think you will be advised not to go forward with your criminal plan.[/quote]
