Today, I went over to my neighbours' to politely complain about their dog, who had been barking non-stop for hours. This issue has been going on for months, and I finally decided today, of all days, was the day to resolve it. When I got there, they'd just got home from giving birth at the hospital. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, most of my neighbours came to my house in an angry mob to complain about my dog barking. I don't have a dog. FML
Today, I got several noise complaints from various neighbours about my "dog that won't stop barking". I don't own a dog, my neighbour owns the noisy dog. She sent me a complaint as well. FML
Today, I’ve been at my new house for a week. My new neighbour’s dog barks non-stop all day, and their newborn baby cries non-stop all night. FML
Today, I don't think my neighbours realize that, by getting that dog they have been wanting, they ruined the peace and quiet of the entire neighbourhood, consisting of ten houses. I'm the person underneath whose window that dog barks every day - mostly when I'm either trying to fall asleep or wanting to sleep in. FML
Today, I was screaming at my neighbor to shut his dog up. After 30 minutes of bellowing, he yelled back that it was my dog that was barking. He was right. FML
Today, I went to let my dog inside because she was barking. I saw my neighbour standing at my fence, screaming that she was going to kill my dog with a shovel for barking at her. My dog was only doing it because my neighbor was putting her trash in my garbage bin. This isn't a new thing. FML
Today, the neighbor's dog has been barking for over 5 hours. It is barking directly at my window. FML
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML
Today, I finally decided to go talk to my upstairs neighbour about the loud banging noises he makes every single morning around 8 a.m. It worked. Now he starts at 7 a.m. FML
Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML

It's not like they can blame you for being annoyed. You should tell them anyways. Especially if its been going on for months.

Now you'll have to listen to the dog plus a crying baby.

So, just ignore it. I have the same problem and I don't even hear the dog anymore. It's your neighbor what are you going to do make a complaint and if they don't solve it get the police involved and then they'll have to put the dog down or give it up. Then how bad would you feel if someone made you do that.

That's kind of what Doug and Carrie went through with the Saxkies(sp).

Exactly what I was thinking. I only looked through the comments to see if anyone had made a King of Queens reference.

So? They weren't at the hospital for the whole time th dog was barking. Birth or not, there is still a problem.

Don't kick yourself for it. I had the same problem with a neighbor whose dog barked all night. They wouldn't do anything about it so I made a nuisance complaint with the animal control department and they fined them and I finally have quiet

My neighbors let their dog do the same thing. Every morning between 7am and 9am the dog is outside barking for at least 20 minutes. Last month I started leaving notes on their door everytime it happens and now it only happens once to twice a week instead of every day.
