Running Springs Communities

I've been wondering the same thing. I've walked my pups up and down the street and never noticed anybody with 5 dogs. It's a fairly quiet street and I have wonderful neighbors so I don't think it's near me.

"...they ARE supposed to protect the residences after all; they have their jobs..."

So does my home alarm system. Should I have my alarm system start blasting away every time a person, pet or wild animal walks by house? Would you be okay with that? Afterall, my alarm system is protecting my residence.

Gemini - good one!!!

Smack-dab in the middle of Summit...

Some car alarms have proximity sensors and announce loudly, Warning: Step away from the vehicle

Ah, Gemini, whoever you are, congratulations on committing the cardinal sin of silly chat spaces and taking one line I wrote out of context! Bravo on continuing the longstanding ROTW.net tradition of purposely misconstruing the point of someone's post. I of all people should have known it probably wasn't a good idea to post too much on here....sheesh! MOVING ON.

Hello, It is a dogs job to make noise when someone comes on to their property, not when someone uses the street. We have a neighbor with at least 3 dogs in their yard, up the street from us. When anyone gets even close, like two houses down, the dogs start to squeal and bark (loud). A dog should be taught to know the difference between people entering the yard or just passing in the street, someone passing in the street is not a threat. Just a matter of lazy people that do not want to train their dogs. It is annoying when I go past and I am sure to the neighbors. I don't know how the residents there can ignore the den. The residents would not even know if anyone is climbing in a window, the dogs are making noise always. They don't give them any attention, just feed them, useless dogs, useless people. Lazy and inconsiderate.

I let my dogs bark up a storm off the back deck(loud enough to be heard a 1/4 mile away,)but only at the nieghbors below who consistently walk their dogs off leash. At least they havn't let their dogs shit in my backyard anymore ever since I returned the presents to their porch. That is the only time they bark incessantly, unless someone's on the property.

When I lived in Oregon, my nieghbor asked if he could install a gate between our yards so my dog could watch his stuff too. I agreed and the neighbor paid for half his monthly food too.
