This morning my husband put the dogs out in the yard before 7 AM. As is typical, Pogo saw something that excited him and started barking. The pup joined in. I brought them both in, because its really not fair for my neighbors to have to listen to barking dogs.
A few minutes ago I again heard the cacophony of poodle voices outside. I got up, thoroughly ticked at having to interrupt work, to go bring the dogs in again. Except...it wasn't my pair. One of my neighbors with a leash reactive small standard had encountered a much larger standard (probably 75 pounds) that very rarely walks in our neighborhood. The owner of the smaller dog, which was having a complete meltdown, had dragged him into my front yard while the big dog woofed back at him from the street.
I'm sorry the other dogs had an excited confrontation, but it does make me feel better that other peoples dogs are idiots too.
