If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to live next to a neighbor who has a dog or dogs that bark non-stop you might have a bit of sympathy for this guy. Or worse the neighbor who thinks his kid is going to be a baseball phenomenon and he puts a batting cage in his back yard…
Good lord I don’t miss the city at all…
Yes.
I didn't buy a dog.
YOU bought a dog [this to the jerk neighbor with the barking dog].
Of course, the jerk neighbor doesn't see himself or herself as a jerk.
If you listen to the "news video" at the article link, the newsjerks present it this way: "all this over a dog".
Good lord I don’t miss the city at all…
Truer words. I telling my brother to GTFO of the city, and examine his future neighbors in the new country place with care.
Been there.
It sounds like you've had an up-close and personal with this situation.
I shudder to think.
I have Small Engine Bob living next door to me.
Loves his small engine yard-grooming toys, but he doesn't understand that the Democrats he votes for are going to take all that stuff away from him. 
I feel his pain. We live on one-acre lots and I have them on three sides.
I’m in that situation now. Been here five years. Neighbors dogs bark non-stop all day. Only relief is she puts them inside when it rains. Two more years and I’ll sell and move to my cousins farm. I can’t wait!
I know something worse than a batting cage, and that’s a backyard skateboard ramp built out of plywood, with lighting so the little jerks can keep making noise for half the night.
