bleu these are not rants, im sharing my experiance, i thought thats the kind of thing this site was for and also taking advice from others. the neighbours who live close like the dog and have no problem with it, they have said they dont hear it bark and the kids around even like to come and play with the dog. the dog is not roaming in the street and she is not a danger to anyone around. Also there are many street dogs we see in the area.
