Siren king
Today, I found out that my dog likes to howl when he hears sirens. I live next to the fire station. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I found out that the 2 loud "firework booms" I heard were actually a guy shooting his dog on the unfinished road behind my house. FML

Today, while trying to sleep, I kept hearing this groan/scream for help for about an hour. I decided to call 911 to send someone to investigate. Police came, I received a $100 parking fine and another citation for improper use of 911. The noise? Just a dog howling. FML

Today, my dog was barking at a squirrel in the yard. I opened the door to let him chase the squirrel. I went to look at the dead squirrel and found out it was the neighbor's chihuahua. FML

Alert!
Today, I was woken up by my neighbour's dog losing its mind, and I remembered reading a story about someone ignoring a dog and later finding out that their car had been stolen. Paranoid, I went outside to check on mine. Nope. Just the damn dog barking at one thirty in the morning. FML

Today, I finally got the hearing aids that I've needed for years. My dog quickly learned that if he quietly sneaks up behind me and barks, it'll scare the hell out of me. It's now his favorite game. FML

Today, my bird learned to mimic my fire alarm. It proved it to me at 3 am. 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 was finally going to fall asleep at a decent hour. Having insomnia, I generally get about 2 hours of sleep. Right as I'm about to fall asleep, 5 firetrucks decide to drive right in front of my house with the sirens/lights on. FML

Make it stop
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

Alarm
Today, my dog farted so loud in his sleep that he scared himself and woke up barking. This afternoon I achieved the same feat. FML

That's going to be ruff...

So obviously the easiest thing to do is to train the firemen to not sound their alarm! Definitely don't put your dog through any training!

Not to have firefighters, you mean? There's no reason to not have a dog.

That's what shock collars are for, but in all seriousness you should have gotten a cat

Animal cruelty or a cat? What if OP is allergic to cats?

Mine howls to sirens too, but I think it's the cutest thing. I love it. I imagine he's trying to help out by lending his voice.

There's an app for that

There are apps for common sense and grammar, too. :)

Ouch. I used to live near one myself, OP. I'm sorry. I hope your neighbours are more understanding than mine were. :(

The howling can't be any worse than the sirens

Actually I think that the dog is howling because the blaring siren hurt his poor ears. Animals have many, MANY times better hearing than us humans. He's trying to drown out the painful sirens by howling on top of it. If only there was earplugs for dogs... I feel really sorry for your dog, OP. :(
