Oh jeez, my complete sympathy, Tom!
That sucks so much!
The other night we suddenly heard a loud noise out on our deck, and I ran to look just as two big dogs chained together ran lickety-split off the deck knocking things over like pots as they ran. I didn't know they were out there and don't know what spooked them, nor do I know to whom they belong. Mystery. I was glad to find the cats safely out of the way.
I also have some new barking the last few months. I'm sure it's when the neighbors are gone, because the dogs start to bark and howl incessantly and it goes on for a few hours and then stops dead. The neighbors are really nice people, and I can't figure out how to mention what the dogs are doing, but it's pretty bad when it goes as late as 10-11 pm. Undecided what to do, but so far am not doing anything that would possibly cause a tiff. It seems to be happening less than it was.
I hope your new "woofs" stay occasional, and stay in their yard!
Talking to people about their dogs' annoying behavior is like telling parents their kids are acting obnoxious. It rarely results in anyone saying "oh, I'm so sorry, it won't happen again."
