if I set up the bubble machine in the back garden?

I've just had a complaint about my dog barking in the back garden. Not from my neighbours, who all have dogs themselves and don't mind the occasional woof, but from the builders working on the extension next door. They want to sit and have their sandwiches in peace. These are the same builders who've been hammering and sawing since 6.30am every day for over a week now.

My dog is only an occasional woofer, the other doesn't. The bubble machine (with bacon flavour bubbles) does however send them into a complete woofing frenzy. This in turn causes all the others to join in for massive woofing jamboree. (There's a pack of 8 in the garden behind the one the builders are in).

I am being unreasonable or am I being extremely unreasonable?

I am so going to buy a bacon bubble machine for DP

Did you know you can get turkey flavoured toothpaste? It makes it difficult to clean the dog's teeth because she tries to eat the toothbrush but it is worth it to see her solemnly licking her own teeth for the next half hour Grin

Noooooo LadyThumb my feet would get cold. He sleep under my douvet in winter when it's -30 outside and keeps them warm.

Got the neighbours in this time (just), so you can all see, no room for complaints. So, 1.00 everyday till further notice, all staffies, doodles, labs, sheps and their mates are welcome. Take the ferry to Göteborg, drive northeast until you fall off the edge of the world, keep going for 3 more days and I'm the second house on the right.

Hubby said no to the bacon bubble machine :( My poor doggies will have to live a lonely, bubbleless life.

Report him to the RSPCA for animal cruelty. Depriving doggies of bubbles. [shakes head in horror and disbelief]
