Yappy Dogs

I'm starting to feel beleaguered by neighborhood dogs.  A few years ago, Tiger, the Wonder cat was in charge of the neighborhood - no noise, no mice, no rabbits - a true leader.

Now we have howling hounds (1/31 Repor) and little yappy dogs.  The yappers yap at EVERYTHING from the mailman to dog walkers passing by to me going out to pick up the paper. So I have taken to trying to run them down when they're out and I'm driving home.  The owners, good friends, think its a game, so they get a chuckle out of it.  They don't realize I'm deadly serious.

But those little noisome creatures are quick and have successfully eluded me for years.  I need a better plan.
