Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

Here is this boxer that loves to bark his brains out each time I walk past his territory.  I tried to go nearer to take a picture of him but his barks were louder and fiercer, so I stepped back.

He has the shock collar on him which I know works.  THere a few times he tried to cross the boundary (invisible fence) and I heard the “titttttttt” and Capone, that his name, was yelping super loud.

When I walk Chase past Capone’s yard, Chase will “drag” me closer to Capone so that he (Chase) can play with him.  I am very tempted to let them sniff each other out.  Why?  Coz Capone’s little tail wags a thousand miles an hour every time he sees the boys.  But I chickened out, I pull Chase away from Capone’s yard.

I know the dog’s name coz I asked his owners once.  I was walking past their house and Capone was on the leash with his owners.  His owners told him to shut up which he did.  Capone’s little tail was wagging so fast which reminds me of a rattle snake’s tail.  I asked the owner is he fierce, he said he looks fierce but he is very gentle.  All he wants is just play with other dogs.

Well, one morning I was out walking just Ranger, Capone was out on his yard and he walked right to the curb.  Right a way I knew the batteries in the collar is weak.  He usually will stay by where he is on that picture coz that is where the invisible fence is.  Ranger of coz saw Capone by the curb, Ranger went to greet him and Capone stopped his barking and was crouching down, all ready to play.  I let them “exchange” greetings, allowed them to “play” a little and I pulled Ranger away.  Capone happily walked away, not back towards his house, but out of the yard.  Yep, the batteries were completely dead.  He was out walking the yard and I went back to my house, turning back a few times making sure he is not following me and Ranger.  I didn’t tell his owners about their dog which I know I should.  Oh well, he is now back on his yard and still barks each time I walk past his yard.
