Up all night....

For the past month or so my dog, Jake, has really been hamming it up. He's constantly barking, whining, howling, or scratching on the screen door. I love my dog, but he's really pissing me off....And not just me, my neighbors too. My next door neighbor won't even look at me anymore, which I consider more of a gift on Jake's behalf, but still. And he has this nightly ritual of howling at 3 a.m. It's uncanny. If that isn't bad enough Jake has the saddest howl - it's this low, melancholy, straight from the deepest waters of the river Styx howl. Not only that, but my backyard isn't that roomy, and Jake's a big dog. There is no sign of plantlife anymore, Jake has killed it all. Anyway, he's driving me nuts. I've even been thinking about finding him another home. Until I see this......



And then I really want to break out in sobs. I need to be a better pet owner. I'm going to go spoil my dog now, and I won't even yell if he breaks the fence.
