Your neighbors dogs are not bad, they just need another "job" long walks, puzzling complicated Kongs, stuff like that.
Trek - I totally agree! It is not the dogs' fault - they are only being dogs who have had no training. It's funny because I have lived here on Moonshine Mountain (really!) for almost 7 years. The neighbors were here first - and have been wonderful until they started adopting animals that they could not adequately take care of. They now have 5 horses, 3 goats, and I-don't-know-how-many cats (because NONE have been spayed or neutered or had shots!) and dogs....

Flybye - yes, they knew who called because the Animal Control officer happens to know them...
