No, they don’t have cell phones… Our neighbors – the one’s who live next to crazy – seem to like to call our pups over whenever they are out back. Not that they can pet or play or touch them, they just make lots of doggy noises and make our pups go crazy, running over there trying to see them. I hate them.
Now you might say “Josh, why do you hate them if they only want to play with your dogs?” Good point I say, let me explain. This evening Megan and I get home and decide to let Floppie and Ebony outside before we kick off our second annual “it’s time to do yard work for the first time” evening. As soon as I let them out back, I hear “oh, look how cute, come here puppy’s, come here!”. Retards ((not the dogs or us)). This is okay though, I think I would do the same if I saw two stunningly cute puppies come running outside with waggy tails and big puppy eyes. But they are calling our dogs from a second story balcony, yes, two stories above the earth. Our dogs, mind you, don’t have wings nor can they open the gate that leads into the fenced yard ((then they would have to figure out how to get into the house, navigate through the house to the upstairs and then find the patio door onto the balcony)). It’s a shame, I guess our dogs just aren’t that smart.
So maybe you’re still staying “but Josh, that’s still not enough reason to hate them!” Okay, how about this. The conversation goes a little like this:
Josh:
I don’t mind you calling the little pup over ((that’s Ebony)), although because the long one ((that’s Floppie)) has back issues, I really don’t want him running up the hill and jumping down the side thing. ((I don’t know what the side thing is, it’s like a ledge but outside. A wall if you will, about 2 feet high))
Stupid Neighbor Man:
Oh, our Zoe ((one of their dogs)) has back problems too. We understand.
Stupid Neighbor Woman:
Oh Zoe has back problems too – we know all about it.
Stupid Neighbor Man:
(making dog whistling noises) here boy, here boy, awww aren’t you cute!
Josh:
We really don’t want to pay $10,000 for vet bills to get back surgery, so we’re really trying to limit his movement.
Stupid Neighbor Man:
here boy – whistle, whistle, whistle
Josh:
(mumble mumble mumble)
Are people really just that stupid? You’re stupid dog ((their dog really isn’t stupid, she’s actually very cute and I feel bad for her because she’s always outside)) that howls and howls and howls all winter and summer long because you leave her outside in the cold/heat has back problems too; don’t you understand this?
I hate them. Sorry.

I think the mistake here lies with the two of you. Is there any reason why you just don’t buy Ebony and Floppie the new doggie sneakers with the springs attached for high jump rountines?
