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, 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

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!

... ... ... How the hell is the dog the problem here? Seriously, I don't get it. Is he louder than a fire truck siren?

My dogs does the same thing, but I've gotten used to it. It's kind of a good thing because they can alert you.

my dog does that too. he's a big dog, so he's really loud, and living down the street from a fire station means I hear it a lot. and he does it for as long as he can hear the siren. but you get used to it, and sometimes it's even comical. Seriously though... get some ear plugs for those late night singing sessions.

My dog howls at sirens as well. He used to howl at them every time he heard them, but since moving to where they are heard more frequently, he has cut back. Now it is only when it is within a block when out for a walk. He still gets that happy and excited look on his face when he hears them, though. :)

The dog is probably howling because the loudness of the sirens causes pain, seeing as dog's ability to hear is way more sensitive than that of the average human. Howling counters the noise created by the siren because the dog controls it's own howl, and it's used to hearing its own voice, so the howl is considerably less intense on the ears.
