Well I'll be dawged. It sounds like lots of people are bugged by the barkers. I'm pleasantly surprised that no one has said: "why should I have to stop my dog from barking? It's on my property, and I have rights. Why should I change anything I'm doing just because it is rude and inconsiderate to my neighbors? After all, I come to the lake to let my dog bark all he wants to. I see no problem with that." Maybe some folks really do think we should all practice a little more thoughtfulness now that the lake is getting more crowded. I see this as an issue of change and growing pains. Just like Harborcon's former partners were bothered when they lost 100 ft of trees and the barking family moved in, we can't operate like we are at granddaddy's cabin with miles of wilderness between us and our neighbors. Those days are gone. The reason you should not, for example, run up and down past the same house even if it is in your neighborhood is because you have neighbors. duh!
