It's too bad the owners of this dog are so heartless. All the dog is looking for is attention. Do these owners have children? The probably ignore the kids, as well. So sad.

My dogs are well taken care of and do not bark all day out side.

Makes me so upset that people would say such awesul things about someone they dont even know. I am a wonderful person and take exceptional care of my children and my animals. All of them.

You hear your dog barking incessantly for hours on end? You don't take the dog for a walk? You let it bark so long it disturbs the neighbors? That is irresponsible and thoughtless of your dog and your neighbors.

No one cares for their pets better than Jean. I also have a dog on Gerry Street and there are other dogs on Gerry and Summer. They all bark at times, they are dogs and it's what they do. I think we are all good about bringing them in if it gets to be too much.

I can see your dog barking at your glass door for long periods of time. I can also see you inside the house. It's disgusting you would leave your dog out there barking at you for that long of time without attending to it. Time to get the video recorder out.

Maybe instead of spying on your neighbors and reporting them anonymously on SeeClickFix, you should get a hobby. I realize that this medium give you the feeling of empowerment and validation, but many of your neighbors who have busy, active, and full lives are getting a bit tired of your constant whining about insanely unimportant issues.

Terri. The initial post here was directed to the Animal Control Officer for a valid issue of a dog barking long beyond what is allowed in accordance with the town bylaws. It disturbs the neighborhood for extended periods and is not an " insanely unimportant issue ". It appears that what many of the neighbors are getting tired of, is a dog owner letting a dog disturb the peace. It is as simple as that.
I will re-open this to allow the proper athority a chance to respond and close it. I know him as a level headed person and may, or maybe already has spoken to the dog or the owner. After reading these posts, the dog owner may have already taken care of the issue herself. She may not have realized the disturbance her dog was causing. I have not heard the dog barking in the last few days.

I am so disappointed to read some of the negative comments on this post. The original poster seemed to mean no harm other than reporting a disturbance. However, those that are threatening to spy on Jean or are making comments when you don't even live on the street should be ashamed. I am a former resident of Gerry Street and close family friend of Jean. I never remember her dogs disturbing the neighborhood, but if you had simply knocked on her door and asked her in a kind, neighborly way, I am sure she would have understood. The sad thing is you don't even know her.

If you knew Jean, you would know that she cares for her elderly, disabled mother. If you knew Jean, you would know that she is raising two beautiful children who are respectful, smart, and loving. If you knew Jean, you would know that she goes above and beyond for so many of her neighbors, doing things to help them. I could tell you so many stories about the kind of caring neighbor she is to at least 5 families on Gerry Street, including mine when we lived there. If you knew Jean, you would know that she would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it, even if she had nothing herself. If you knew Jean, you would know she watches her nieces' child out of the goodness of her heart because they can't afford daycare. And this is WHILE she watches her elderly mom who is very sick and needs full time nursing care. If you knew Jean, you would know that these comments hurt her deeply because she loves her animals and her family. If you knew her like I did, you would be a better person for it. BUT, you don't, and sadly, you don't care to get to know her or approach her about something that you could speak to her about Face-to-face.

It is cowardly to hide behind a computer and threaten to spy on your neighbor. You are a bully if you make mean comments when you don't even know the person or their situation.

So next time, maybe consider the old fashion way of communicating instead of doing it online. The computer brings out the ugliness in some of us, doesn't it? It's sad really.

So if you ever run into Jean, I hope you try to get to know her because it will be you who is lucky.

Animal control has been monitoring this situation.
