Doogie's visitors

What's this outside the back door?


Wait - there's TWO!


Sometimes Patrick and Jake from 4 houses or so down the street come down for a visit - usually without checking in with their owners. While Doogie gets along ok with them, when he was still just a small little puppy, Doogie got playfully/aggressively (?) smothered by Patrick out in their yard one day, and boy did that spook him! We think Patrick was just asserting a little dominance - suddenly Doogie disappeared under all that fur, and was yipping really high pitched. The neighbor pulled his dog off Doogie (there was no biting/blood) while I lifted Doogie up in the air by his harness. He held on to me for dear life while yelping for awhile... Poor little guy.

Now he's cautious around Patrick and Jake, but still likes to visit with them.
