It’s so much fun to live in a community with “rules”.
I recently got a call from the “life police” about my dogs barking. A neighbor had written an anonymous letter. I know who “anonymous” is, and she does exaggerate (to put it mildly), so I didn’t take it too seriously.
For one thing, my dogs don’t bark. They sing - for about a minute and a half twice a day - when the train goes by, we think. It could be just spontaneous, but it does seem to happen around the same times everyday. Of course the neighbor says they do it for three hours at a time. Since I am here with them all day, and am still in possession of my wits (or most of them, anyway), I can assure you it doesn’t last more than a Santa Fe minute (slower than other minutes - like New York minutes, for example).
They think it’s beautiful and I’m sure it is - to dog ears. To me, it sounds pretty much like somebody being tortured to death, and I’m glad the songs are short. The Coyotes answer back and they are much more melodious, actually. Of course, I wouldn’t tell that to Sky and Teddy. It would break their hearts.
Since this week’s lesson in the Guerrilla Photography Workshop is about enhancing our guerrilla shots with words and humor, I did the following as a response for the life police. (They thought it was very funny.)
