>> My dog doesn ‘t stalk my goldfish,
My cat doesn’t engage in non-stop “serial barking at nothing” like my @#$%^&* neighbors’ dogs do.
Dogs bark-bark-barking antagonize my neurosis and interfere with my aloof introverted neurotic creativity. :-)
Bubba talks when he needs to ... no other time.
Hate when that happens.
My dog wouldn’t shut up one night when my husband had left to fly across country for a new job. I stayed behind to sell the house which was located on a lonely mountaintop in Washington State in the woods. She finally got quiet, and I found the next morning that our garage had been burgled by thieves.
There is a reason when the barking doesn’t stop.

15 years ago my neighbor got a dog and put its pen at the back of the his lot that adjoins mine and was only 50’ from my deck.
The damn thing barked all the time. It only took a few evenings of making a loud SHHH! then tossing a firecracker in that direction to train him to shut up when it heard the SHHH! After a while it learned what it should bark at and when it should bark.
