2/28    5:30am-6:00am bark bark bark
        7:00am-10:00am bark bark bark
        I don't know where it's coming from and it's driving me NUTS.
        I can't sleep as the sound goes through my ear plugs.
        What can I do?
        \_ Talk to your neighbor about it.  Then call animal control if it
           doesn't stop.
           \_ Ding! Ding! Ding!  We have a winner!  The way sound complaints
              work in most places, the sound has to be persistent (as measured
              on the cop's watch according to local statutes) and before or
              after certain hours.  So 10am barking?  SOL.  6am barking will
              get your neighbor talked to and eventually fined if you live in
              a civil area.  Anyway, a dog barking that much is probably not
              being taken care of so a call to animal control might save the
              dog from bad owners.  There are few bad dogs, there are lots of
              bad owners.
              \_ On my street now and then some kid goes up and down on some
                 mini-motorcycle that is insanely loud. It's in the daytime
                 but it's still really too loud. Can I call the cops on him?
                 \_ Seem to remember there was a law passed in CA requiring
                    a drivers licence for those things.  It may have gone
                    into effect by now.  Call the cops and ask.
                 \_ Yes and I did a few years ago when the kids in my area
                    bought one and took turns going up and down my street
                    (not, BTW, their own street!). The police said that
                    most of those things are not street legal and they
                    would cite them if it wasn't. I never hear the kids
                    anymore.
        \_ figure out what keeps it quiet from 6 to 7 am
           \_ Bitches?
        \_ poison it.
           \_ That can get you in jail.
              \_ A sense of humor can do that in some countries too.
                 \_ Killing someone's dog can get you in jail right here.
                 \_ Yah, it's the obvious joke. I thought I'd point out that
                    there are specific laws about poisoning pets.
