AH-ROO-OOOOOOOO!!
Working from home is great, but it does often have a downside. I have a neighbor whose Yorky easily qualifies for consideration in the "Most Annoying Dog In Maricopa County" competition. This little furbag incessantly howls and barks All. Day. Long. when he's home alone. It's the kind of "plaintive wail" attributed to Nicole Brown Simpson's Akita just after his mistress was turned into a human Pez dispenser by....well....somebody. I had no idea so much volume could come out of a dog that can't weigh three pounds soaking wet. He's inside a well-insulated home across the cul-de-sac, but sounds like he's right underneath my open window.
I know I could easily pick the little bastard off with my Ruger 10/22, open sights and all, at this distance when he sticks his face up in the window to get a bit better projection. One shot, instantly brain dead. But now, that wouldn't be neighborly, would it? I'll just drown him out with a little Radio Margaritaville. That's the ticket.
