Well, I suppose I should take another try at making friends with the dog.
Although planting something on the fence sounds good too. What kind of
dog? Big and red. A longish-haired retriever sort of dog. She's a pretty
dog, really. They've also got two Shelties, and old one that stays on the
porch and a young one that's just learning to bark at me.
Talking to the owners isn't likely to happen. It's sort of odd, I son't
think I'd know them if I saw them, but I don't like them. The woman is
constantly yelling at her kids -- "I hate you", really pleasant stuff like
that. The kids mainly ignore her, so I guess yelling is the worst she
does. If I'm out splitting wood or something for a while, she'll come out
and yell at the dog! That's sort of funny. A solid wood fence has some
appeal in that it would keep us from hearing that woman so much.
I think I'll try growing something on the fence, AND making friends with
the dog. I don't think she's a mean dog, just bored. They leave her out
all day and night, as far as I can tell.
