The dog feud
A neighbor has a very yippy, barkie dog. He keeps it tied up outside his house, where it barks early in the morning and late at night, waking us up, keeping us from sleeping, and generally pissing us off. Taiwan is a very densely populated place, and the architecture of our apartment complex makes the barking echo. Apparently many people have complained to the neighbor, but he didn’t ever seem to care.
Finally, Stacy couldn’t stand it anymore, and called the police. They came by and gave the owner a warning. The next time someone reports him, the police will fine him. The warning worked for a few days. The dog was quiet, and we got to sleep at night and weren’t disturbed until the alarm went off at 6:30 in the morning. Bliss!
Apparently the neighbor was pissed, though, and (rightly) suspected that someone from our complex ratted him out. So he took revenge. Today he led his dog on a leash into the compound in our apartment complex, and had the dog take a dump in the middle of the plaza. Then he led the dog back home and let it bark all afternoon.
The battle has begun.
Wow, the maturity levels of some people.
It’s really sad when it comes to a battle because it never ends well. I’m sorry that it’s come to that.
…and I’m really, really happy that I get to babysit your QUIET dog!
Well, it seems to me that the only mature thing you can do it scoop it up, put it in a paper bag, and light it on fire on his doorstep.
