Amen to that! I feel like throttling the dogs that bark incessantly and giving their owners a fate worse than death. Being a responsible pet owner means you don’t allow that pet to disturb your neighbors. I seldom ever let my dogs out without me being on the other end of a leash, and if I put them on a lead outside, they were brought in at the first bark. Which explains why I’m such a stickler for being a responsible pet owner.
As for cats, I never let them out. I’ve seen too many lying on the roadside, or, as was the case in LA, heard too many of them being torn apart by feral dogs. Everyone is different, though. I don’t imagine your cats being a nuisance to anyone, since they mostly forage in the woods for excitement.
Well, Shannon goes to people’s houses and tells them she’s needy!
