My area used to be peaceful but we now have three within one street who bark all day, 8.30 till 5.30, and if their owners are out at the weekends - they bark then too. And no, none of them are ever seen being walked or taken anywhere in the car that could lead to a walk.

Give me humidity any day of the week.
