If you actually kept your dog in a fenced area or kept him on a leash when you're outside with him, you wouldn't be out searching for your dog or yelling his name so loudly that the next state over could effing hear you.
Oh, and for the love of all that's holy, stop going past my house and peering through my windows from the street. Your dog is not inside my house, you perv.

Re: Dear next door neighbor,
Nope, 'fraid that was somebody else. I missed it though...you wouldn't perchance have a linky?
Peeking in your window!? Creepy!
I love dogs, but that's one of my biggest pet peeves- when people let their dogs run free throughout the neighborhood.
There's one across my subdivision that runs in the road outside of their house every morning. They're right on a big curve so during the winter when there is snow, I can't see the dog in the road until I'm about a foot from it so I always end up driving 2 miles per hour to avoid hitting the fvcking thing. If they, oh, kept it on a LEASH or something I wouldn't almost kill it every day.
/end post-stealing vent.
No I don't! Sorry but it was funny.
It's one of my main pet peeves too (no pun intended). In the state of NC it's actually legal to shoot a dog that has ventured on to your property, and my parents had to tell their neighbours that they better keep their dogs off their property or they'd have to resort to a bullet in the dog's butt. My parents never actually followed through on it, thankfully, but their neighbours took the hint and kept their dogs on leashes from that point onward.
We have a dog in the neighborhood (Pumpkin) that just roams around, digging in peoples yards and doing whatever. Every other dog has an electric fence, is on a run, or is too old to wander off. He seems aggressive to me, and it scares me. Our neighbor runs a daycare and the kids are constantly out in the yard (unsupervised, grrr...) SCARY!
He came in our yard once and my dog gave it to him. GO CHIP!
