>Angie....what kind of NEIGHBORS do you have??? 

OOOps, a bit of a hurry there, unclear reference, etc.  I meant the
neighbor's DOGS.  We had neighbors with 2 Bassetts in a pen.  They barked
constantly.  The neighbors hadn't a clue what to do.  We didn't want to
argue.  Found that dropping a firecracker on *our* side of the property
line cause a nice "Silent Night".  We have a neighbor now with a Beagle
that visits everyone within a mile eating their cat food, etc.  It's
causing hard feelings, threats, etc.  I suggested that they just take
everyone concerned some firecrackers and tell them how to use them.  I
tried shooing the dog away, a kick only made him cower (and he's got such
sweet eyes), but a firecracker sent him right home with his tail tucked. 
One warning, don't drop one in front of a fetching Lab!
