My neighbor is in his 70s, great guy. His son is rather special with dogs. It seems as a child the man was playing with a Great Dane who took offence and bit him in the face. Over 100 stitches. Somehow this experience has made him (the son) a dog whisperer. </div><div><br></div><div>Gracie was VERY afraid of men. One day during December I was walking her with Snoopy and Snoopy was doing his ahrooooo how are youuuuuuu thing and this gentleman (the son) and his daughter were visiting and were out for a walk and turned back to say high to Snoopy. Gracie was terrified. The man just smiled and interacted with Snoopy
and ignored Gracie. He told me she'd be fine. Inside of two minutes she was playing with him and pushed her snooter in there for pets and playing the clown. And she's not afraid of men anymore.</div><div><br></div><div>So, keep hope for Horton. In Gracie's case one good encounter turned the tables for her and she's just fine. Other than being a little dickens that is.</div><div><br></div><div>More later from the ever clueless momPerson with good neighbors (thank goodness).</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. Sometimes I feel like our neighborhood is a throwback to the 50s. I came home yesterday and was not at all suprised to find cones at both ends of the street. A little closer in were street hockey goals in the middle of the street and a pack of boys playing street hockey. As I eluded their baracade and drove to my home they moved nothing, the cones, the nets and the boys all stayed in the middle of the
street as I navigated. Then I came home to find a neighbor three doors down was going to be out of town three days and he wanted to hire my 13 year old to feed his boys fish and bring in the mail. I love it here.</div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
