I got rid of my dog today.<\/p>\n

My neighbour sent three complaints to the City complaining Apollo was barking incessantly.<\/p>\n

It’s an odd claim to make because he rarely barked. When he did bark, it was usually a single bark. On the occasion it was more than once, each bark was about 30 seconds to a minute apart.<\/p>\n

\"183\/365<\/a><\/p>\n

When the City informed us today they were issuing us a $100 fine, we decided to take him to the pound. We can’t afford to pay $100 regularly because Apollo’s barking echoes in our neighbour’s head.<\/p>\n

We got Apollo to keep people out of our yard. Prior to getting him last fall, several persons used our yard as a thoroughfare to get to and from the alley. We’ve had things stolen from our yard, including clothes from the clothesline.<\/p>\n
