I didn't save the email from the gentleman who expressed his concern over barking dogs, but now I wish I had. I too live in the Wellesley/Heberton area, and I can recall one Saturday or Sunday about a week ago where there was a barking dog who, literally, barked for about 6 hours straight. He never let up. This wasn't your usual "It's summer and people are outside grilling" type of barking but a constant barking for hours and hours and hours on end. And yes, I should have done something about it but like many of us I figured maybe someone else would. (Sorry) Now that I think of it, that dog may have been thirsty or hot or something (it was very hot that day) and now I feel bad I didn't take more action. Is there something, someone we could call if this happens again? thanks, Jenee Libby - Wellesley Avenue "Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes." ---Henry David Thoreau Epizoodiks: southern slang for little, persistent coughs http://epizoodiks.blogspot.com/
