New Pets!!

Our neighbors just got a new dog! Now I am 100% for introducing new family members--but as the neighbor of said animal--it isn't so great. From the incessant barking that comes with the animal--to the whimpering to get back into the house after 5 seconds in the freezing snow!

I was out shoveling today--yes, I actually broke down and got it done--and this little "Rat" dog comes out to the fence, and starts baiting me. As if he actually thinks he stands a chance if he takes me on! I should mention that little "Rat" dog would be a fabulous after dinner mint to my big, huge, bruiser dog--but for the sake of neighborly relations--I won't give in to the urge to drop kick him through the front window!!
