The most interesting segment is when Eileen got very fustrated/angry with the dog’s noise.She couldn’t take it anymore for any longer, so phoned the police for help and even thought of calling the spca to help resolve the problem.By getting the police involved in such a trivial matter is a little uncommon. She was showing signs that she was slowly becoming mad because all she wanted, is to let her baby and her catch some sleep.
