Everybody sucks here.
Get your dogs under control. If their barking hurts your ears, fucking train your dog.
Also, don't feed wildlife. Squirrels are a natural part of the ecosystem, but if you feed them peanuts, they don't go collect nuts and acorns and stash them. Stashing nuts and acorns spreads trees and grows forrests. Then you have too many squirrels and not enough food for all of them.
The previous owners of our home fed the squirrels. For the next 3 years after moving in they were breaking into our house, ruined all of the screens on the windows, chewed holes through our trashcans, spread trash on our yard, attempted to break in our cars and chewed holes in our fenders. All because they weren't getting fed anymore.
Thousands of dollars in damage. Fuck squirrels.
