I'm an alert person or that's what I tell myself.
There are rare times when I have music going and I can't hear what's going on outside of my house - rare occasion.
A few minutes ago this happens:
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sitting at the kitchen table eating and I hear these screams from outside: "No, no, no.. GO!.."
I jump up like a bat out of hell and run to the door, throw it open like the sash in 'Twas the night before Christmas' to see what was a matter....
I see a lady walking left (south) on the sidewalk in front our house. Then I look across the street and the neighbor on the corner is coming out... Then we both see...
His dog. Chocolate lab. Tail between her legs and as low as a dog can get and still crawling from the sidewalk into their yard. The same lab that was barking and snarling at us last fall/summer in our driveway when the other neighbors called it theirs. This isn't the first aggressive move by this animal, earlier I noticed it outside in the yard so I walked outside to see if it would come across the street. It didn't. I don't fault the current owner, he has another dog prior to the Lab and it's a well behaved dog. I place the fault squarely on the other neighbor.
I was ready to offer a beat down if there was somebody being hurt or an attempted abduction...

Two days ago Iscalded scolded my 12 year old boy because he was in the backyard screaming like a girl for some dumbass reason, probably just to make noise. I explained that screams and such are for emergencies ONLY.
Yes our house is quiet, you can hear the fridge running and when the furnace pump kicks on and off.
Who else is the unofficial neighborhood watch? (I'm an at home dad so between my wife and I, somebody is almost always home - day and night)
What would you do if you walked upon that situation? (Where the dog was actively engaging the person)
