The neighbors are good people more or less. But I really can&#8217;t deal with them. Right now they have a stray dog in the yard. It is scared and barking. It does not help that my dog encourages it to bark. So someone comes out and is all angry. &#8220;Don&#8217;t bark.&#8221; \u00a0To that, how I want to respond is to scream. Not any words. Just scream. But I know that would not be good<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am the person who likes to have her dog play and bark through the fence. I&#8217;m okay with it. But to be considerate I brought my dog in and closed the door to keep the other dog from barking. It is the considerate thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s too hot for the dogs to run and play anyway. But other times when I hear the neighbors say just about anything I can&#8217;t listen. I can&#8217;t because it hurts in a weird way. I can&#8217;t really explain it. I have too much empathy or sensitivity to the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like having the door open as much as possible. It gives my dog the opportunity to go in and out as she pleases. But when I can&#8217;t take the neighbors anymore I go in and close it. I either hide or go to sleep to avoid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now I am a nervous wreck because I don&#8217;t want the stray dog to bark. On the other side, I have to tell my dog she can&#8217;t go out and play and that breaks my heart. But life is about choices and keeping my dog in is the better choice. I hope they find the owner soon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t deal with neighbors very well. The neighbors are good people more or less.
