I just had an incidence that really made me angry. I spent a lot of money fencing in my yard for my previous dog, Freeway. Freeway was around 18 pounds. Now I have Oliver, who is 9 pounds. So, I once again spent the time and the money filling in any holes that he may have been able to get out of. The next door neighbors both have small dogs, one who is fully fenced in and one who is always on a run. The neighbors in the back have a gigantic dog who can easily clear my fence - and did - and scared Oliver so badly that when I realized what was going on and ran outside he jumped right into my arms. This dog should be on a run as not only is the fence not high enough to contain him, the rest of their yard is not fenced at all!!!!

Now, anytime I let Oliver out, I feel like I have to constantly keep my eyes on him. This dog was not mean, it seemed friendly enough, but it was large enough to freak Oliver out and I do NOT want it in my yard!!! I should be able to feel safe letting my dog out in my own backyard that I fenced in just for him!!! I am absolutely furious but because the dog wasn't mean or vicious I really don't know what to do or if I am just overreacting as I'm not used to having a dog so small and I am definitely a lot more protective of him. Should I go have a little chat with these people? Doubt it will help, but might make me feel a little better, lol.
