My neighbor is going to be getting a copy of this:

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/code/sites/code/files/assets/documents/pdf/animal-noise.pdf

His damn dogs woke me up at 5:43am yesterday, and 6:11 today (though my wife says they were barking earlier than that.) And they're barking non-stop right now as i sit at my kitchen table trying to work.

I'll show that fucker.

Sounds like the perfect time to wake up and go for a run.

That only hurts the animal and not the shitty dog owner.

As a vegetarian, I find this idea reprehensible on a couple of levels. But I'll keep it in mind, thanks.

edit: Might have the unintended consequence of the neighbor keeping the dogs outside even more.

Realized that our outdoor hospitality game was a zero, with a 12x12 concrete slab. Once the patio is done, then the fence will be installed, and we will be able to entertain outdoors during the demic. Should all be ready by mid-Feb!

Yesterday was Day 1 of the approx 600 sq. ft. Patio Construction. Demo'd the concrete slab, graded the area, confirmed the design.
Day 2 is today. Finished grading, and put down the gravel.

N.B. I am doing none of this work.
We contracted it out.

Dogs can follow a vegan diet. Cats, on the other hand, are obligate carnivores.

I don't believe in forcing my veggie beliefs onto anybody. Hence, I honor my dog's request for dog good with chicken in it. I also try to accept without critique when others in my family indulge in meat as well, though it doesn't thrill me.
