		<description>I appreciate your concern but that house is a rent house meaning people come and go.  Those people will likely not even be there by the time we move.  The dog is not the only reason I want to move but it gets on my nerves mostly because I know I am leaving.  Have you ever had a job that you hated but you put up with it quietly?  Then another job comes along and you know there is a way out so you start to voice you concerns now that yo can leave.  If those people were there to stay, I may consider what you are saying but that is not likely the case.  In the ten years I have lived in this house, there have been at least five different tenants in that house.  The way I see it, anyone that comes to look at a house will likely walk around in the yard as well.  If the dog is still here then he will bark at them and they will see and hear it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Secondly I find your post a little disingenuous as you mention that you went through the same thing and then begin to lecture me on my integrity.  This is obvious that you are only here as a troll to start trouble when you come in here and speak to me as another victim and then preach to me about my responsibilities.  I reject that out of hand.  I would not intentionally do anyone wrong just to make a sale but I will not sign a disclosure for my troublesome neighbor.  Why don&#039;t you preach about the dog owner&#039;s responsibilities?  For this reason I do not see your post as a legitimate discussion.  If  you were trying to be sincere, it is suspect simply because of the way you started off as being a fellow victim and then not once mentioning their responsibilities but rather mine.  That is analogous to preaching to a rape victim about their responsibilities for being a victim. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I will say it again, I would never intentionally deceive a potential buyer.  If that dog is still there when a buyer comes to see the house, they will see it then and nothing will be hidden.  Now if I were to have a structure problem and I knew about it and did not tell them, you may have a point.  Again, I appreciate your concern if you were genuinely meaning it but you must admit that it does sound a bit suspicious the way you pointed it out to me.</description>

		<description>Was attracted to your blog due to the dog barking post. I have Google Alerts for &quot;dog bark&quot;....long story, but along the same lines of what you are experiencing with the coon dog of your neighbor. Then I saw your post about selling your home and I was prompted to write. If you fill out a seller disclosure form, on which you should be totally honest, you more than likely will have to disclose the &#039;noise nuisance&#039; problem that the dog is creating. I&#039;ve been heavily involved with the whole barking issue for two years, ever since the problems we had with neighbors. I&#039;ve written to real estate agents regarding any unresolved noise issue and the effect on a home sale. They all agreed that a barking dog will turn off a fair amount of prospective buyers even before they enter the home for a look-see. I would also think it unfair of you to not reveal the noise issue to a &#039;serious&#039; buyer. I do hope you know where I am coming from, as you stated yourself that this dog has ruined any &#039;fun&#039; or &#039;relaxing&#039; time in your yard. I just wanted to throw this out there if you do decide to fill out a seller disclosure and not reveal this issue that you yourself have found annoying. Thanks for your time and good luck with the sale...</description>
