Jakey Boy Is Too Needy

We opened the mail today to find a lovely letter from the City of Shawnee Police Dept. It was giving us a noise violation, which was submitted by one of our neighbors.

Who is responsible for this? Of course, who else!? Our one and only -- Jake.

Well, it's not entirely his fault. I need to be easier on him:). He did get left outside all night (which we have never done before), but he had his warm kennel and the garage to go in and out of (via his doggy door) at his own leisure.

Anyways, to catch you up on the story, for the K-State/KU game, Brian went to Manhattan for a boys weekend, while I stayed here and went out with some girlfriends. Well, we ended up going to P&L and I couldn't make it back to my house in BFE, so I stayed at Roback's. I did have Lyndsey and Brennan go check on him and feed him (I'm not a horrible mother) so he wasn't too deprived of attention. Apparently, he was barking and moaning from 2:30-7:00 AM. We really didn't think he would bark considering he stays in the garage all day while we are at work. He just lays down in his kennel and sleeps (lazy dog). He normally doesn't ever bark for attention unless we are there. But I should have known because he is a VERY needy, dependent dog. So, great, now we are seen as the neighbors with the annoying dog. The best part, is that my father-in-law (he's a vet) asked us if we wanted to solve the problem by permanently removing Jake's voice box!? HA! The thought did cross my mind... but look at that face. I couldn't imagine having my bark taken away from me! Although I bet Brian might enjoy it so I couldn't nag at him:)

None of this would have ever happened if you would have been responsible and gone home that night!! :)

Are they serious?! Isn't this the lady you help out all the time?

Well, we don't think it was her. But, I guess you never know! We think it might be one of the houses behind us who we don't know very well. Maybe I'll add them to my Christmas cookie baking list and they'll change their mind about us:) LOL.

And Brian, you better watch your comments or you won't be going to any more boys weekends!!
