Just Got Asked If My Dog Could Come Out To Play....

[brembo]

Per the vet stuff-

One trip a tech wanted a urine sample. She had Banjo out back in their fenced area, figuring that all the smells were going to get him to mark with the quickness. I watched and giggled as he would c0ck(really? what a word to censor) a leg and seeing her home in would zip away. About the third time he shot her a look that would have bored holes in titanium plate armor. I let this go on as it was very entertaining. Finally I asked for the cup and got his pee for her. I had time to come up with a line too (what is it with most vet techs being cuties?) "Not my drink of choice, care to go get a better one somewhere?" The look she gave me was about as vile as Banjo's. Oh well.

Back when I lived in a neighborhood all the kids would come to my house to play with my dogs. Neke especially LOVED to have the kids over - unlimited ball fetching!!

If the kids couldn't leave their yards they would lean over the fence and play with the dogs. My guys learned to step up on the wood pile to hand the ball to the kids to throw.

Two stories - one funny, one scary.

Funny

One day I'm in the kitchen and I hear sirens. I look out my sliding doors into my backyard to see cops hanging over the 6' wooden fence that separated my back neighbors and my yards. Guns drawn, they are pointing them at my DOGS!! I can now hear a woman screaming at the top of her lungs.

I rush out into the yard screaming "DON'T SHOOT!!!" to hear the cops start laughing. The neighbors little boy had climbed over the fence and fallen into my yard. MY dogs had all rushed over to see if he was ok and Neke was licking him all over. The kids was screaming in laughter.

The mother thought the child was REALLY screaming and that the dogs were eating him so she called the cops. After a bit of help from a translator (the didn't speak English and I don't speak Spanish) we got everything straightened out.

Scary

I was in the shower when I heard the dogs start barking. At the time I was living at the same house as above and I had 6 GSDs. I yelled at them to be quiet and surprisingly they stopped barking. I finish my shower and as I'm getting dressed I start hearing strange noises from outside the bathroom. I open the bathroom door to find a small child - maybe 3 or so - sitting in my living room!!

The dogs are patiently handing him balls to throw.

I quickly get dressed and look outside to see if anyone is looking for their kid. When I can't find anyone I call the cops. As they are heading over they get another call - from a frantic mother looking for her child.

Her older daughter was supposed to be watching the baby and well, you know how pre-teens can be. The baby had been over at my next door neighbors house to play with their kids and remembered my dogs. He managed to get out of his house and walk 2 blocks to mine!!

your first story reminds me of the boxer we had next door (also around when Casey was around). Beautiful fawn girl. She learned how to open the gate to her yard as well as how to close it. She'd come over and play fetch with my friends and I for hours. The second she heard her owners car coming into the neighborhood she was back in her yard. They never knew she ever left the yard. Unfortunately she was a BYB bitch who was bred every heat except for her first one. Sweetest dog. She lived to be about 7 before she died during whelp and took the entire litter with her. That dog could play fetch until she dropped and somehow she still found energy to keep playing. Their beautiful brindle male boxer they had though was very unnerving. Didnt have all his ducks in a row... I miss Shannon though. I remember her getting out of her yard the first time and hopping through the open window on out screen door to say hi. My moms cat Pooky freaked out and chased poor Shannon all over the house until she got her back outside. Shannon always asked to come in after that lol.

Your second story.... all i can say is ! I know a certain pre-teen who would have been in more trouble than they ever thought was possible!! OMG!! Thats scary! Suddenly there is this strange child in your house because they remembered your dogs and how to get there. Good thing your dogs liked kids!!! yikes!!! Even 6 GSDs my daughter would have been like "Ummm.... no thanks!" lol and she's a little dare devil at 4 years old!
