She used to wake up at 6am and bark to be fed, which I didn't mind too much. Then ist started slipping back to 5:30, 5 etc. Then it jumped from 4 to 3. She is a spaniel and has a loud bark, I live in a semi detached house and my attached neighbours have children aged around 2 and 5 and both parents work.
I feel so guilty about the barking that I have to feed her. The neighbours must hate me, quite rightly. Its also killing me. I will need to find a job soon, and then it will kill me even more.
If I don't feed her she just barks and barks. She doesn't need the loo or want attention, she just wants food. If I let her out and go back upstairs she just carries on barking.
I think what I need to do is speak to my neighbours and apologise, but tell them I'm going to have to start ignoring her so it may get worse before it gets better.
Does that sound like the right thing to do?
