Dear Annie: I have read your responses to letters about barking dogs and neighborhood noise, and I appreciate the calm, compassionate way you approach these conflicts. You encourage people to start with empathy, assume good intentions and try to work things out neighbor to neighbor. That sounded wise to us, so we followed that advice exactly.
We live surrounded by multiple homes with several dogs, and the barking has become a constant part of our lives. It comes from three sides of our property and even from farther down the street. It interrupts sleep, work, conversation and the simple peace of being in our own home.
