Bark From The Park, When the sun comes out, so do the neighbours!

Noisy neighbours in the garden is one of our pet hates.

After the endless months of rain we may now get a glimpse of sun and maybe a late summer here in good old Blighty. However when the sun comes out, the problem of noise raises its ugly head. The craze for back garden hot tubs now ranks among the top 10 causes of garden rage says an annual gardeners' survey. Noise from televisions and radios, late-night parties and children are the next top three. These are followed by power tools, house alarms, barbecue smoke and bright security lights. Bizarrely last come the smell of fabric conditioner and musical instruments. No mention at all of us furry friends then? My human sadly is the noisy one in our garden. The last incident happened only a few weeks ago. Awaking early and bored I ventured downstairs several times and took some of my prize tennis ball collection to bed for a bit of a chew. On awaking my human in a fit of pique threw the balls, all eight of them out of the window into the garden. Sometime later I sprang into action for a bit of a cat attack. My human ran out into the garden to unfortunately interfere, yet again. Sadly the slip on a tennis ball resulted in one grazed knee, two bruised elbows and some high pitched shrieking. The poor neighbours didn’t know what had happened. The moral of this story is humans should put all toys away safely, including those of mine, as that is one of their few uses. Oh well if you really don’t like any noise at all you can always go and live next door to a cemetery! What annoys you in your garden?
