The person I heard it from also has a husky. And a cat. Now they only has a husky. Huskies apparently have a strong hunt instinct too.
 
I would just talk to your neighbors. Say “is there a way we can figure out so the dogs won’t come over the fence? I don’t want my kids, or your dogs to get hurt.”

And what others do in their yard is none of someone’s business as long as it’s legal and follows the covenants.

You are wrong because it is a parent’s business if their child is getting high from the neighbor’s marijuana smoke. It is now legal to smoke marijuana in your backyard if you have a medical license. Neighbors have been complaining about the terrible stench and the fact that their children have been getting high.

So if I want to play loud rock music in my basement and leave the windows open, you wouldn’t call me out on it? That would be equally inconsiderate. There you were enjoying the peaceful sound of birds from through your bedroom window, open a centimetre, feeling the breeze. Now you have to get up and close your window because a neighbour thinks she has to blast sound all around.

Yes. This loud percussion music, marijuana smoke and constant barking of vicious dogs is a real nuisance. It shows that some Americans have no consideration for their neighbors.
 
If someone came to me and told me that their child was getting high by playing in a yard next door to someone smoking medical marijuana, my response would be “prove it”. It’d better be pretty convincing.

I am only reporting what I was told by the neighbor whose child was getting high from the excessive marijuana smoke.
 
I just got a response from the facebook message I sent. They told me to call them and they will deal with it. They also said that if the dogs are, in fact, pitbulls, they are classified differently than other dogs and the owners can get in bigger trouble. I didn’t know that was a “thing”, but apparently it is.
 
Keeping clean air is a normal human behaviour. We see evidence of this in anti-idling legislation, laws against diesel fuel, Japanese covering their mouths with masks, laws banning smoking in the workplace, Californians monitoring smog, etc.

Just as there are laws against littering the streets with cigarette butts, and laws against keeping broken cars on the street, and other measures to keep physical cleanliness, there are also laws to keep air purity.
The purer the air the better, I’m sure you’ll agree.
 
No one is going to get high because a neighbor lights up in the backyard, except the neighbor and those to whom he passes the pipe/joint. You may not like the smell, it may irritate your eyes or mucous membranes.

That is not what I was told by someone here who had to send his child to the hospital since he was getting high and sick from the marijuana smoke of his next door neighbor. He said it was continuous smoking which went way beyond what you would expect from an occasional puff on medical marijuana. He claims that the neighbor was abusing his license to use marijuana.
 
I could maybe buy the story that they lived in an apartment and the smoke was travelling from one apartment to another and irritating his eyes and making him sneeze. Maybe. IF they were having a major pot smoking party. That’s not “getting high”. If you know someone who claims that the marajuana smoke from one person drifted from his back yard to a neighbors backyard in quantities large enough to make someone high? All I can say is, “prove it”.
 
Now, as a Catholic, as a person in general, you should know that argument doesn’t hold water! There is all manner of legislation that goes against normal human behavior! Areas that have a smog problem certainly have reason to limit fires in that area. Usually such places have a large population that live in close quarters, and/or are located in areas where the geography doesn’t allow smoke to dissipate. That’s no reason to universally ban all fire pits or disparage the character of people who use the in reasonable environments.
