Good afternoon—I figured I’d come check in and join the madness. 😳

Jacob Brown11 said:An apology? Please. I have zero interest in apologies—especially when they’re paired with lies about what happened in the DMs.

So now I'm lying? You're demanding an apology because you leaked details from a private message... 😁
Maybe try being consistent with yourself before coming at me. 😁

Jacob Brown11 said:Since every attempt at finding middle ground with you seems to fall flat, I’m just going to ignore you for now—and I expect the same courtesy regarding quotes. Thanks.

Things escalated quickly 😁
Maybe take a look at the actual definition of compromise—if my apology counts as my side of the deal, what exactly are you bringing to the table?😳

Jacob Brown11 said:What kind of crime? You’re begging Richard Sanders7 for forgiveness over some damn poll, yet you won't even give me an explanation about leaking my private messages or mocking me—which you always seem to do with that smirk.

My only "sin" was telling you that you were being boring, and I don't see how that's an issue.

I think you're being overly sensitive. I didn't leak any specifics from our DMs, other than mentioning that you had messaged me—and frankly, I don't recall ever mocking you.🤔

But fine, since Richard Sanders7 isn't interested in apologizing, you can just take his 👋

😁

Jacob Brown11 said:Drew Ross2, what about me—aren't you going to ask for my forgiveness? 🤦

I suppose you're actually the one who should be asking for my forgiveness 🙂

Please Richard Sanders7 forgive me—I didn't vote for him in the poll 😳
I had no idea voting for Richard Sanders7 was mandatory 😳
My apologies, Richard Sanders7 🕺
Next time, I'll make sure to give you all three of my votes 🕺

I thought she was talking about the dog owner 😳 just delete the quote 😳

Rachel Palmer56 said:Sure, but if you don't respect them enough to let them inside, then we—the people actually living with them—are the ones looking pathetic.🙂

A dog isn't really meant for an apartment, at least not the larger breeds. I don't see an issue with them being indoors, but anyone making that choice should probably prepare themselves for the inevitable mess and ruined flooring immediately.😁
Most of the time, when it comes to houses, dogs end up out in the yard—at least in my neck of the woods and everywhere I know.

edit. I don't see anything pathetic about letting a little dog inside.😳

dustypilot11 said:No, that was basically his sentence. Having to move a backyard dog inside the house overnight—that’s what caused all this chaos.

If you ask me, he should lose the dog entirely if there's any truth to the abuse or chain allegations.
but if the dog is well-loved and just happens to be noisy... well, I guess he really should have brought him inside immediately.

dustypilot11 said:It doesn't matter—if a house with a yard sits right next to yours and a dog is barking in that yard, it’s going to bother someone who’s paying a massive mortgage just to have a little peace and quiet. I guess it's just how it goes. 🤷
I don't know how things work in your neck of the woods, but I personally refuse to walk around my own place wearing earplugs—especially when I'm paying top dollar for the property—just because someone else can't bother to be considerate.

Having a dog in an apartment overnight—honestly, I don't see the issue. And I really don't get why people make such a massive scene about it—like if someone says a barking dog means the owner should be thrown in jail. It’s ridiculous. It’s almost like saying they should be roasted on a spit or something. ☕

Even behind closed doors, the noise finds a way out. 😁 It’s still audible—though, I suppose, perhaps a bit less so. 😳
That’s really the limit of what you can achieve—just shutting it down overnight and turning it into a house. Or maybe that's all there is to it, I guess.
It’s a decent enough suggestion—certainly better than that other idea involving the relocation. 😁

dustypilot11 said:Look, I’m honestly not sure how to make this any clearer.
If a dog is the barking type, it shouldn't be in an apartment where neighbors might be bothered by it. Apartments and houses are primarily designed for humans—animals can live there too, provided they can adapt to that lifestyle. If they can't, then presumably they should move out, not the neighbors.

@Mia

I completely agree regarding apartments, but I was actually thinking about a house with a yard—I should have been more specific, clearly.😳

It seems a bit irrational to expect someone to just move because their dog barks.😳 I'm not sure how things work in your neck of the woods, but over here, it isn't that simple—especially if we're talking about a mortgage or living with parents in a shared household.😳

rowdylynx98 said:Sell him. Or just pay the tax on him. ☕

Those are negative externalities—neighbors have a right to compensation, I suppose. ☕

Sell him. 😲 🙂
They'll probably introduce some kind of pet tax eventually—wouldn't surprise me one bit. 😳

Under current US law, they don't actually have that authority. 😳

dustypilot11 said:As if. 🙂
If someone wants a dog they can't actually handle in their current neighborhood, maybe they should just move to a house out in the middle of nowhere.

I think you missed the point here 😳
The scenario is this—you have a dog that is naturally vocal, well-loved, well-cared for, yet still loud.
A friend of mine even paid for professional training for her dog. He was a massive, sweet guy, but he just wouldn't stop barking.
And even after all that training, he kept at it. 😳
So, what was she supposed to do? Just kill the animal? 🤷

I suppose I should say something—though I’m not entirely sure there’s much point. It feels like we're just circling the drain at this stage. Everything is becoming increasingly messy, and frankly, I've seen this movie before. It’s all just a bit much, isn't it? Maybe I'm being too cynical—perhaps—but I doubt it. kaže:
😳You owe me. 😳...or the report goes straight to Tessa immediately.

Thanks—we're all human, after all. I guess we’ll work it out. 😁

Richard Sanders7 said:One user is posting under the same handle repeatedly. It’s confusing, I guess. Where is Tessa? ☕

Well, I've gone and confused myself completely—using two different handles now. ☕

Don't be like that—you're just asking for bad karma. 😳 😛

Basically, what I'm trying to say is:
Not to bring up Bear—but if you've got a dog that barks constantly even when it isn't on a leash, what are you actually supposed to do about it? Not much, I guess. You're basically stuck. Maybe you could buy your neighbors some earplugs, bake them a pie every once in a while, and call it a day. That's about it. 😳
