Happy (Early) Spring

It feels like spring! And at the Dang's, we're pretty excited about it!

I'M SO. EXCITED. FOR SPRING!

I can't believe how nice out it's been. On our nightly walk last evening, Chester and I saw TONS of people out and enjoying the nice weather. Usually we don't see anyone.

This also means that Nemesis has been outside in it's yard a lot. For those of you that don't know, Chester and I have named a few dogs we often see on our walks. First, there's his girlfriend, a tiny little blackish gray furball that barks at him non-stop from her fenced in yard as we pass. Surprisingly, Chester doesn't bark back. I think it's because he loves her. He always runs up her front steps and sniffs at the fence as she barks.

Then, there's Nemesis. Nemesis is a bulldog type that is often outside, never with supervision and never with a leash. Usually, he/she stays in it's yard, but lately it has not. It runs down the yard, crosses the street and comes onto the sidewalk as we walk by. This is not a friendly dog. It's barking and snarling as it comes at us. The past few times, I've had to shout at it to get away and pick up Chester so he doesn't get attacked. A few times, I've thought that I was going to get bitten in the process. Chester of course freaks out and is frantically trying to get down while barking like a maniac.

We pretty much hate Nemesis. And now, whenever we walk by that area, Chester gets tense. But we're stubborn, and don't want it to affect our walk routine. Hopefully the people that live there get a clue.
