Oh man, I love my dog <3
So we have had these neighbours for a while now, many years, and they have these kids. Now, the parents hate Rosey. Just absolutely hate her, and try their hardest to get her in trouble (waving bacon out of the window while saying "here doggy!" while Rosey is tied up in front of our house... I may or may not have uncoupled her when they tried it one time). Whenever Rosey is out front, they'll run into their house to get away from the big ferocious dog that she is. Rosey finds this to be the best trick ever, btw. So now they have a kid who follows suit, tries to tease her/get her in trouble, and then freaks out when she gets anywhere near them. Now, Rosey has learned that if she barks at them, she scares them. I will admit, I find this hilarious, because you can see her thought process, and i laugh, every time. The rule here is if you laugh, you can't get mad at her or give her trouble. So, she continues to bark at them, which really, I don't care, cause they're assholes.
So fast forward to last night. Had Rosey out on tie out, and some kids come over to pet her. All was good... For 3 minutes. Then, she calmly turns around to face the youngest kid, barks one time, and then looks at me WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE ON HER FACE. I started laughing. Hard.
I think my neighbours now hate us :rofl1:
