He's a giant mass of fluffy white fur who regularly slips out of the fence and comes to visit us. <br /><br />He's a big 'ol teddy bear, and I adore him.<br /><br />I especially adore him at 4AM when he barks at something/one on (or near) his turf. <br /><br />He sounds like the baddest ass on the planet, and that makes me smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191777732884933916.post-78159765597555928102013-05-30T23:29:40.860-07:002013-05-30T23:29:40.860-07:00The little rat-dog (my wife's term for that br...The little rat-dog (my wife's term for that breed) is demanding attention. I'm not sure a response from her people would have the desired effect, it might reinforce the behavior. You want to have some fun? Can she see you well through the fence? Sometime, walk along the fence and let her follow you at close distance on the other side. Then make a sudden jump toward her, as if you're attacking. (If she's going to bark constantly anyway, might as well give her a reason.) This is something I would NEVER do, just an idea for you to try. ; )Brian R.

My dog doesn't even give her the time of day, which cracks me up. I just can never figure out why the owners don't come out and tell her to knock it off!Kinley Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648398736837020249noreply@blogger.com
