My dogs are so embarrassing.
I live in an apartment that is one of four in a single story "quadreplex", for lack of better word. Its a one story building with an apartment in each corner, and we each have a section of yard, our own porches, etc. One of my neighbor's doors is right by mine, separated by a bush. If Abrams is outside on his tether and she comes or goes, he barks at her the entire time since, in his mind, she is right by his turf. She tries to sweet talk him, but he doesn't care because I'm not out there with him. When I'm there, he loves her, but when I'm not, he'll bark. Which is what he's supposed to do, but she is a nice older lady and it breaks her heart that he barks at her.
So. Tonight she gets home and Abrams is barking at her. I go to the door to let him inside, because I don't want to be that person who let's their dog bark outside, but I make the mistake of actually talking to my neighbor and saying pleasantries while I do so, to hopefully make up for my dog barking at her. Cynder decides now would be an AWESOME time to dart out the door (which she NEVER does) and run over to my neighbor. I've since unclipped Abrams, but let go of him to try to grab Cynder, and he darts out of my reach to go say hi, too. They BOTH try to go into her house, and then Abrams gets so excited he starts peeing all over her porch. I have to run out barefoot in my tights and yoga top to go grab the stupid dogs, and when Abrams sees me coming he says, "YAY! GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!!" and starts doing puppy zoomies all over the yard.
I call him and he comes to me, I grab him, and I lead him inside, and then Cynder decides she's going to be a butt and not come in, so I have to go back out for her, too. All while my poor neighbor just wants to go inside and not have dogs run into her apartment.
BAD DOGS. And now my neighbor probably thinks my dogs are even more of idiots than she already did.
