Borax mixed with either sugar or syrup works really well for ants. They take it back to the nest, and it kills them all.

thats what it sounded like to me. I have been bitten by Carpenter ants before, they hurt like a mother F'er. course they do chew on wood. He is lucky they didn't actually physically hurt is guts. well, I hope the best for ya and good luck gettin rid of 'em. I would ask the neighbor to check the fence and if infested to remove it for the health of your pooch.

Pest control guy found some old wood half buried next to the tree that I thought was the problem... it was between the tree and a brick wall, so I couldn't see it... He found it and in it, and under the wall was a bigass carpenter ant nest.
