Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for January 18, 2012

We call it “necessary noise”, Poncho. Whereas dog barking is rather unnecessary.

And then they put headphones on and play the music so loud that everybody else can STILL hear it…

Ain’t it the truth!

the term is “hipicrits”.

nah barking is just more irritating than the rest of the noises.

In the case of the moron in the car, I say shooting’s too good for him. (NO, loser, we do NOT want to hear your music, and we are NOT impressed by your noisy over-compensation for certain anatomical deficiencies!!!)

lolseems im not the only one who hates when people do that with their bikes or cards over and over again

This is contradictory to the neighborgh testimony

As a human, these two fictional dogs have a point. We ARE “such contrarians.” We cannot sleep or concentrate on work or do anything when there’s someone human-made noise in the way.

To us humanoids, the barking is a very profound reminder of from where we came. (A few years ago)

Why is it even necessary to blow leaves around rather than rake them, or better yet, mulch them for compost?

It wastes fuel, pollutes the air with noise and just moves leaves around for someone else to move around. It’s the dumbest idea ever.

I’ll get off my soap box now. I hate noise pollution, in case it doesn’t show.

What leaf blower? That’s a snow blower. He’s cleaning the sidewalk.
