Re: The area I live in
Awww the poor little dog I wouldnt do that but I'd give it to the people if I could .Zuleka , I have looked at accommodation for the over 60s but the maintenance payments and ground rents are high around £3000 per year but I have given it thought and I will continue to look even though those payments are out of reach to me.
I've just had a thought maybe I should wear ear plugs when sitting in my garden

It is not the dogs fault that he ended up with low life owners, who it seems have not attempted to train him... but it is the dog who will suffer.
They may then chain him up in the garden at night so neighbours, like Susan, will have to listen to him barking all night ! Why not try putting your brains into gear before making such stupid suggestions?
Susan, if your neighbourhood is not what it used to be and you are unable to move, perhaps realspeed's suggestion may help.
If you own your property it may be hard to sell with such neighbours, but if you rent it why not try to find somewhere that you may be happier. My sister was given a pensioners bungalow & the neighbours there were very friendly!

Re: The area I live in
Is it possible seeing as the people aren't friendly to try and befriend the dog in some way - nothing outrageous or too strenuous - just talking to it over the fence from time to time - animals get lonely too - and giving it a few titbits - left over meat chops etc - once the dog gets to know you they may in fact quieten down? you would then be achieving several things and helping a poor lonely dog?11-05-2021, 05:33 PM

Re: The area I live in
Sorry I dont make replies to each of you but I do read what you suggest . I think if things became too much I would sell and go into over 60s accommodation although there are big overheads .To move other than the over 60s place would be a big concern as once bitten twice shy and I'm told flats have very bad sound proofing , and another terraced house may be an issue too .
Meanwhile its ear plugs in the garden for me but no ex lax for the dog as it's quite cute even if noisy

I tell ya what....I could have shot those 2 neighbours across from me, it’s not the poor dogs fault....nearly all day barking and howling..when I was in the garden, it really starts to grate after a while...how their next door neighbour puts up with it I have no idea.

My friend has moved into an over 60 complex, some need nursing care , she was telling me the elderly gentleman across from her had his daughter visit and children, she was moaning because the kids were trampling all over the garden, then she has trouble with her laundry slot..don’t forget Susan, you would be sharing the facilities with a lot of residents , I would stay put if I were you.
