My new enemies

Since the day Colby and I moved into our house, we have hoped that someday we would have neighbors. Our area of the subdivision is a little sparse on homes, until now. Last week we had neighbors move right next door! They are super nice, have a little girl who is almost 2. We should be so excited right? Well, it turns out that they also have 2 basset hounds a male and a female (don't know their names). If you have ever lived near a basset hound you might be able to guess why I despise them. They bark ALL the time. They bark at me, they bark at the grass, they bark at the rabbits in the field behind us....they even bark when the wind gusts. I have a dog who is half beagle/half cocker. He doesn't bark this much, hell, he doesn't even bark at them barking. Bo just looks at them, then lays down with his back to them ,in his cozy spot in the grass. It's as if he is saying to them "you youngsters are to obnoxious, I'm going to sleep".
I myself have resorted to the water hose. I give them two yells of "SHUT UP" then I break out the hose and douse them with water. This shuts them up and makes me feel victorious over such inferior animals. Oh, and yes, I do know how childish this sounds....don't care.
