Brian sounds like a really nice neighbor, getting up several times throughout the night to let the dog out. How do you stop a dog from barking? I've always had large, very quiet dogs until we raised the current little dog.
My left eye has already had laser surgery, so its time for the right one, so I can see to put my make-up on, among other things. ;o]
Brian doesn’t get up several times throughout the night. The latest he lets the dog out is 1900. My sleep schedule is such that I’m asleep by 1800 but I’ve been struggling with insomnia since the end of June.
I’ve had small dogs, and I’ve always been aware of and respectful to my neighbors and brought the dogs in when they began to bark. They were seldom ever left outside on their own.
