Or, you could just buy yourself a harley davisdon motorcycle and put custom pipes on it.
We'll see who thinks you're too loud then.
I find this absurd. If you've had the same dogs for the past year, I would think people would be somewhat observant to recognize they are seeing the same ones and not different ones.
As for the noise complaint, that is just harassment on their part. I don't like barking dogs any more than the next person. BUT, if they are in someone's house, I certainly am not going to complain about that. I would soooo much rather have barking dogs in a house, which I can somewhat ignore, than have them outside making a fuss.
I hope this can get resolved for you soon. This seems to be happening more and more. Really, people need to learn a bit of tolerance and learn to co-exist with others. Nobody's perfect, and you can't expect to live in a perfect world that caters to your every need. These people need to get over themselves and find some better way to occupy their time.
