I think the problem with the phrase an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is that everyone ends up blind and without teeth!But even if you have already appealed to the authorities, what else is left to do?
I wonder if this was some sort of prize Easter Egg back in the original newspaper publication, but does the dog in panel 3 say (in dogspeak) âBark, bark, bark, barf?â Sort of like a newspaper âSpot the Barfâ contest?
Phil should give a free jazz concert with his horn just to get the neighbor on his toes. This should recur every evening when the dog starts barking next door. I bet Phil would have a lot of listeners.
My solution, that I read in another post, is to get a big soup bone from the butcher or market, and throw it over the fence to the dog. Instant quiet â it seemed to work for them.
I have neighbors like that, I turn into a crazed woman in the middle of the night when it wakes me up and keeps me awake, going outside and yelling, âSHUT YOUR DOGS UP!!!â They ignore it all. I canât put up with it in the daytime, but I need my sleep!
We never had that problem, with next door neighbors, but a few streets over, we can hear a dog barking all day, every day. It stops around supper. I feel sorry for the people who live really close by.
Folks who allow their dogs to bark constantly, whether during the day or at night, should not own dogs. They have no clue as to how to be a responsible pet owner. Itâs too bad there is no one to enforce âresponsibilityâ in a pet owner.
Phil, We understand that you mad at your neighbor, but did you see a cop walking pass outside your window? He has walked pass a trumpet sticking out from your bathroom window. You was blowing taps on it in his ear while you summon for a tornado. The dogâs was having a giggling fit with a friend. The owners might be in their bedroom. They are dead about a week ago. Thats why they didnt hear any barking and growling from their dog.
Confession time. I lived in Albuquerque years ago in the southwest quadrant which then was not too upscale. All I could afford. Next door neighbor sold assorted pharmaceuticals and had TWO St. Bernards in the front yard for alarm system. Those suckers would woof, bark, and whine all night long. One summer night i crept out front and turned my water hose on those dudes. They started lunging at the sliding glass door and were shaking the whole house; I could see the wall bowing in, and was afraid they would hurt themselves. But, the door opened, the dogs rushed in, and I had no further noise issues.

Would a better idea, Geo, be just going to the neighborsâ house and complain in a peaceful manner?

Some neighbors tend to be totally deaf when their own dogs in their own yards bark all night long. They do absolutely nothing about it.

Just makes me wonder which Canadian city has operators in city hall after midnight to answer telephone calls. Their taxpayers must have deep pockets.

Phil will get a visit from the law for tooting while the barking dog neighbor will get a pass.

I guess you missed the May 10th strip. Go back a few days and check it out to get the answer to your question.

I hate tooting on the throne.

That sort of barking dog stuff is how you get a hotdog full of poison tossed over your fence. Sorry people, but it happens?

Iâll bet all those people he contacted are going to finally show up, and Phil will be the one arrested for disturbing the peace.

Using the bathroom as his choice of horn concert, was genius for humor. Also, is great for the acoustics.

Making 2 wrongs, interesting if the neighbor goes talk to Phil.

One can assume from this story line that Lynn Johnston dealt with a similar issue.

That neighbour is probably a night shift worker and is unaware his dog misses him.

Most cities have noise abatement officers that monitor noise levels, especially after 10 p.m. Call them, it works.
