So pretty much every day (when there's good weather) Oliver goes out in the backyard on his harness and dog tie out for about an hour... he loves it... well this afternoon, my neighbor's dog was over in my yard with my dog (she usually goes over there, but he had people looking at his air conditioner) - Oliver was begging and begging to go out - I picked him up to the window to show him there was another dog in the yard, but he still begged... so I hooked him up and went out with him... he hissed at DJ (neighbors dog) and when DJ nicely came over (he has a cat brother, Roy) Ollie bopped him on the nose and ran under the deck steps where he turned into the deck troll and just poofed up and growled... it was all comical to me - no harm no foul on anyone... DJ was just like "well fine, don't be my friend" and walked away... I didn't want Ollie to be too stressed though, so I went to the basement and opened the window under the deck and took out the screen and Oliver practically dove into my arms, like "MAMA SAVE ME!" It was cute lol... he's fine now and the dogs are next door again... I'll see how he feels about the back yard in another hour, if not wait til tomorrow
