My neighbors now have a dog. I’m not sure which ones have the dog or what the dog looks like. But I know what it sounds like. <\/p>\n

Yip yap yap yip yap yap yap yip yip yip yip yap yip yap<\/p>\n

I don’t know where they got this dog – maybe the 5th circle of hell (“The angry”) or maybe the 7th (“Violent against neighbors and fellow men”). In any case, I heard it last night while I was trying to sleep. I had the fan going and the windows open. A good cross breeze was just starting to form and I was headed to dreamland.<\/p>\n

Yip yap yap yap yip yip yap yap yip<\/p>\n

And then, just for variation…<\/p>\n

Yap yip yip yip yap yap yip yip yap<\/p>\n

And every so often, a plantitive howl at the moon. But, since it was only a small yapper dog, the howl at the moon was just a pathetic shadow of what a real dog could do.<\/p>\n

Yap yap yip yip yap yap yap<\/p>\n

After 20 minutes I considered closeing the window.<\/p>\n

Yap yip yip yap yap yap<\/p>\n

Yip<\/p>\n

Another 10 minutes and I got up to get ear plugs.<\/p>\n

20 minutes later and the dog finally YAPYAPYAPYAPYAPYIPYIPYIP (howl) YAP<\/p>\n

Okay, 30 minutes later the dog finally shut up.<\/p>\n

Yip.<\/p>\n

That one didn’t count, but I left the earplugs in. <\/p>\n

Now, I’m a dog person and I really like dogs. But this little yipper was getting on my nerves. Oh, and did I mention that it echoed between the two buildings so it sounded twice as loud? Well, it did. <\/p>\n

Sleep was an elusive misteress last night – hell, let’s just say it like it was. I was so ticked off from the noise that I didn’t think it would ever come. And I tried everything – well, not everything, but enough of my tried and true methods of getting to sleep that I was really stressing. And apparently the stress of not being able to sleep tired me out enough that I eventually fell asleep. <\/p>\n

This morning? I’m king of the yawns. Yea. And all I really want to do it go back home and sleep some more. Or maybe I’ll just crawl under my desk. <\/p>\n

Well, time to get back to work…<\/p>\n
