Today, my fiancé and I moved into a new home a few houses away from our previous one. We were excited about not hearing our roommate's dog howling non-stop anymore. We can hear him from the new house. Very clearly. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé and I just moved into our first apartment together. Our neighbor across the hall? My ex-boyfriend who I've had to file three separate restraining orders on. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I moved into our own house. He proceeded to invite his parents to stay for the week. The same parents we've lived with for the past 5 years. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved. He moved from my room... to my housemate's room. FML
Today, my new neighbours moved in. I had always thought my bedroom wall was soundproof, because my old neighbours never complained about my loud night terrors. Turns out they were just stone deaf. The new ones can hear everything. FML
Today, after uprooting my life to help my boyfriend, I realized I receive more affection from my landlord's dog than I have from my boyfriend since I've moved here. FML
Today, sick of the unfiltered noise we hear from our neighbours in our upstairs apartment, as we're above their fence line, we signed the lease on an apartment downstairs. While I was downstairs, my partner clomped upstairs, opened the bathroom door, and took a piss. I heard EVERYTHING. FML
Today, I signed the lease on my first apartment alone with my boyfriend. We've lived here a month before we got to sign. Today is also the day my neighbors decided to show how they're night owls: all I hear is banging on the walls and them loudly talking and yelling. This will be a long year. FML
Today, my roommate switched jobs and now goes to work in the morning. His dog has declared that going on a barking frenzy right after he leaves is a great thing to do. Earplugs don't work - I move too much and they fall out too easily. Only 30 more days until he moves out. FML
Today, I realized how nice it was that, after moving into my ground-floor apartment, I no longer have to worry about being too loud walking on the floor at night. Today, I found out that my upstairs neighbors do not have any qualms about shouting or stomping their feet loudly at night, either. FML
Today, my roommate's boyfriend moved in. I'm in love with him. Now I get to live with the happy couple. FML

OP: Um, really? You never made sure that you could NOT hear the dog barking BEFORE you bought your new house? YDI....

If it was only a couple houses away how would that make the howl stop?

You guys are morons. If you were move a few houses away park out side the house for a bit and if you can hear you neighbors dog barking then I'm pretty sure your going to be able to hear it in the house. But what I don't get is why you didn't move farther away(unless the house was dirt cheep).

Or they love the neighborhood they're in and wanted to stay...

Have you ever thought of replacing the Windows or the insulation within the walls to reduce the sound rather than moving? Making such a large financial decision over the sound of a dog is kinda dumb... YDI

I imagine the dog wasn't the reason for the move, but they were hoping it would be a bonus to no longer hear him.

If you can hear it, so can the other neighbours. if it is a nuisance for everyone, your now ex roommate can be reported. Or maybe you just miss the dog. Google Phantom phone ring.

Most places have barking dog ordinances which compels owners to end the nuisance.

You can call in a noise complaint to the non-emergency number of your local police though.

A few houses away, that doesn't sound like it would make a big difference
