important updates for inquiring minds

I discovered the source of the vomiting noise in the backyard!

It is the backdoor neighbors' dog, who was vomiting.

So this is really not so hot for the dog or the neighbors, but far better for us than fighting raccoons or opossums or what have you.

Also we will now refer to that dog as Pukeybird, so there's that. (These are neighbors who let their dog out to barkandbarkandbark at all hours of the day or night, so we are not constrained by our usual sense of neighborly courtesy. Oh, wait: our usual sense of neighborly courtesy would only dictate that we not call the dog that to their faces. So never mind then.) (Seriously, when you put a dog door in so your dog doesn't wake you up when it barks in the night, and then it wakes up all the neighbors when it barks in the night? Neighbor fail. And when your dog barksandbarksandbarks but my dog barks once and your kids scream obscenities at my dog? Neighbor fail. These people do not get a plate of cookies at Christmas, I tell you what.)

You know, if the pukeybird dog were to appear one morning painted purple with green polka dots, they might rethink the dog door thing...

Yes, but I am fine with the dog; it's the monkeys I would like to paint purple with green polka dots.

See, that's the beauty. The dog would probably be most content to be decorated by friendly humans in the night. The humans--probably not so amused. ;-)

Of course much as I am entertained by the idea, it's something I would never do, alas...

Hee. That is such a genteel response to this problem. I like that even when you reach the heights of irritation, this is your response.
