he barks at sirens,

and he barks at spring.

so once a year or so for a few days in a row my neighbor's dog gets a good spritzing with the waterbottle to remind that it's not alone here. another dog by my garage needs the same treatment in the summer.. and then they are usually quiet and i can leave the doors and windows open for air most of the year. we're going into the 3rd year of this 'treatment' now. one of the owners knows and approves ;)

its day two. 20mins after the water.. a few yaps. so far so good. the kid in me wants to get a super-soaker.. but a regular nozzled bottle is fine.

the poor dog of course is just feeling spring come on and is rebelling against the in-attention its getting next door.. i'd hate to be in its position and be made to shut up.
