Remember a couple of weeks ago when I told the sad story of the neighbor across the street "accidentally" letting the dog (belonging to his girlfriend) escape from the back yard repeatedly-----and the dog came over to see Penny, and she got hit by a car and killed?
Well, this morning about 6:30 I let Penny out on her tie-out to do her business. In about 2 minutes she started barking at....another strange dog across the street! This time it was a huge great Dane type, and the dog came lumbering out to the middle of the road and just stood there, wagging his tail. I dragged Penny inside and DH went out to try to scare the dog back into his yard, but the goofy friendly dog came loping across and came right up to DH, licked his hands, etc. Meanwhile Penny was having a conniption, wanting to get out there. DH came in, and the next thing I know, the big dog was at our back patio door (second story) trying to get to Penny.
I went to the neighbor and pounded on his door. I was surprised that he answered, that quickly on a Sunday before 7am. But he did, and I told him his dog was on my back patio, trying to paw his way into the house. He said "Oh, I didn't know he was out." He came across the road with me, while I lectured him about already seeing their other dog get run over crossing the road, and it about killed us. I don't know what all I said to him, but I was pretty angry just thinking about how irresponsible it is to have one dog get killed by being careless, then getting another one immediately and being just as careless.
That is a slow moving dog, and he doesn't even know to not stand in the middle of the road.
I'm just going to nag that young man and be a thorn in his side, every time I see the dog off leash. Maybe he will repair the fence just to keep me off his back.
