    Not sure how that’s facepalm… the dogs going wild constantly is a pain. It’s not like it’s the same person who had a child with a peanut allergy so how could they know? It’s not like they were being thoughtless or rude.

      Asking some anonymous neighbor to remove their peanut tree was pretty funny.

      But maybe more, blaming the barking dogs - complainer’s own dogs - on a mysterious peanut feeder, as though squirrels wouldn’t be running around the neighborhood, playing on the fences and trees anyway, is like the poster has never experienced squirrels before.

      Yeah… my neighbor has two rats (I mean small little ankle biting POS dogs) who bark anytime someone walks remotely near the backyard fence which is on a Main Street because he lives on a corner… or they sit by the front window which he leaves open and bark/whine all damn day while he’s gone…

      I 100% sympathize with the neighbor complaining about the barking…

      Maybe - and hear me out - it’s the dogs that are the problem?

      “Can’t control their prey drive” is a bad excuse. You control your dog or you don’t deserve to have one. End of story. A dog barking endlessly is the responsibility of the owner to control or get rid of their damn dog.

      It isn’t hard to teach your dog not to be a nuisance. I’ve done it before. Blaming the dog because you failed to teach/control it is not correct, and simply shows that you do not have what it takes to be a dog owner.
