I am honestly starting to hate dogs as pets because of how many times I have had to endure neighborhood dogs that bark incessantly for hours on end, often into the fuckoff o'clock hours of night.
This vent brought to you by: You guessed it! Neighbors' dog who has been barking incessantly for *literal hours* and it is already fucking *midnight.* =_=
@dragonarchitect I feel this so much. I’ve been watching my family’s dogs while they were away for two weeks and this has been a nightmare for many reasons, but one of them is that one of the dogs has separation anxiety which gets worse the longer they’re gone, and causes him to bark for hours and hours and hours and there is literally nothing I can do to get him to stop. and I know because I’ve tried everything
thankfully they just got home late yesterday, and I’m never going to do this for them again
apparently wolves don’t bark - they quietly make little “chuff” noises instead - puffing air out of their mouths. because they don’t want to draw hostile attention to themselves, but they do want to alert their pack that there’s a dangerous animal nearby. but dogs were deliberately bred to bark loudly instead, so that they could be used as guard dogs. and now we have incessant barking everywhere and it is miserable
