[QUOTE="Retired-Guy, post: 326430, member: 1735"] Just got back from a beautiful camping trip. The only issue was that the next door neighbors had 3 really well behaved dogs, two medium sized and one black lab (who turns out is 15 years old). On Monday the couple took their pontoon out and left at least 2 of the dogs including the lab in there camper. They had a roof vent open and the A/C running but the dogs barked nearly constantly the entire time they were gone. Grrrr! My wife and I get on the water by 6 and are usually back to the camper by 1 o'clock or so. These people sleep in so they are leaving about the time we get back. So I grinned and beared it the first day but the next day they left just the lab behind, of course, with the same results. I was simmering. The campground host said it was not under his control and the park ranger was no where to be seen. By the time the folks finally returned I had downed a martini or two so I walked over and started up a friendly discussion. Eventually I mentioned that their dogs were not happy being left behind. I said the constant barking was very annoying. The excuse was that the lab was 15 and just couldn't stand to be out in the sun and heat on the water. I understand! Leave the dog with a sitter, camp in the bush away from people, stay home....what ever! I have owned dogs but would never leave them cooped up in a camper. How to deal with there situation wasn't my problem but there current solution was! I told them to "do what they had to do" and left. This same issue occurred at Indian Hills a few years ago. I never saw the individual camping so I put a note on the door explaining that their dog barked all the time they were gone. I don't know if that was the reason but the owner showed up, hooked onto his camper, and left. Problem solved. I know I am a ranting old fart but damn these assholes that think they can fuck my week up because they can't manage there pets! [/QUOTE]
