Open letter to the neighbors

[mrissa]

Dear neighbors:

You need to stop letting your dogs out to barkbarkbark at 5:45 a.m. No, really. You need to stop. It is not a friendly thing to do. It's getting old. Do you know how old it's getting? The last two mornings, my dog has made the exact noise a junior makes in a squirrelly freshman dorm. The, "arrrmmmmmmfffff," noise. The, "Can't you stupid damn kids just go back to sleep?" noise. My dog is bored with your dogs running around barking this early. Dogs never get bored by other dogs running around barking. So there you go: you are tedious about this as well as unpleasant. They are the dogs. You are the monkeys. Deal with it.

Nolove,
mrissa

Oh! Ouch! See, in my world, after getting no satisfaction from the dog owners regarding the problem, I would call the police, and the police would either refuse to take a report, take a report while lecturing me about wasting their time, tell me that barking dogs is not a crime, tell me that I have to prove that the dogs are barking before they will take a report, or come out to my place, take MY dogs away, and give me a ticket.

Do those people leave for work early?

I know St Paul has ordinances about that sort of thing - you should check Minneapolis. I'll bet it's not legal and what will happen is that the cops will come that early and listen, figure out who it is and cite them for noise. That's what they do here, especially this close to Como Park. Good luck!

try getting a copy of your local noise ordinance (most begin at 7am) and tape it to their door along with a 5:45am will result in police call note...
