Who Let the Dogs Out?

We are dealing at the moment with unreasonable neighbours. If you have ever had this experience, you will know how stressful it is. This is the issue at hand...

About 4 months ago we received a handwritten, anonymous, rude and threatening letter in our postbox.We chose to ignore it as it was anonymous. Several weeks latter a policeman arrived on our door step with a further complaint. He implored us to deal with the issue as he has real crimes to solve. The issue: Our dogs bark to much and too loudly just well, they bark. The accusers are a couple opposite our home. A couple I have had several conversations with over the year they have lived here. A couple who felt they would rather send a threatening letter and then a policeman than come and have a neighbourly chat about their concerns.

So we sit now with a problem. The problem is this. Their demands are unreasonable. Their tone and attitude is unreasonable and their actions have been unreasonable. Yet we need to be reasonable and try in every way to live at peace with them. So this is my mission. To silence the dogs. I'll let you know how that works out.
