White Dog was startled and then very angry when one of the two new puppies next door came and peed on our door. She barked a "get off our property" warning from her window perch inside. This big (larger than White Dog) unleashed pit bull mix responded by jumping up on the bench at our entry so that he was face-to-face with White Dog through the window and he issued a growling challenge! I was afraid that White Dog was going to break the window in her fury. The dog's owners, the eight college kids who are renting the once quiet house next door thought the episode was very funny and I could hear them encouraging their dog to "give it to her!" When I opened the front door to speak with them, the owners and dog ducked back inside. I now share White Dog's anger.

Omigosh! That's very mean of them kids...shame on them for egging the dog on! It's a good thing you're in the house and he's not...otherwise, it would have been something else.

Mom had something of that same experience last time...a lady brought over a doggie which I didn't quite like, and so Mom told her tto keep the doggie away, but she didn't listen and we almost went at each other! My trainer said once, 'Always assume that the other person with a dog is an idiot...that way, you will be more cautious with your own dog and no one gets hurt'. Wise words...
