New Neighbors Are Moving In / myLot

I met the new neighbors yesterday. They're moving into the house the drug dealers lived in and seem like lovely people. I gave them my phone number in case they need anything. They were telling me that they had two smaller dogs and would be putting up a new fence around their back yard. (The drug dealers kept a dog chained up back there. Their dog was always digging under the fence and would growl and snap at Pretty and I when it got loose. I started calling the dog pound when it was in our yard.

I'm scared of some dogs. If they act hostile, I don't get around them and don't want them coming around me.) I mentioned the last people who lived there had a dog that kept digging under the fence and getting out. They assured me their dogs weren't dangerous. I guess we'll find out. I hope they're correct.

I hope their dogs are good dogs not dangerous and that do not bark all the time. I fear large dogs, but usually get along well with smaller dogs that are not aggressive.

Aggressive dogs worry me. I hope they're well-behaved, too. The new neighbors said they are moving here from the country and their dogs aren't used to being blocked from running all over the place.

@DaddyEvil - I cross the road if I see a dog that looks aggressive coming toward me, even if the dog is at leash. Let's hope those dogs will not be an annoyance.

@LadyDuck I do too. I hope they're just as nice as their owners.

Well, it bodes well for the dogs that the owners are nice people. You don’t usually get mean dogs without mean owners.At least I hope that is the case for your neighbors.

I’m so glad it seems like they are good people; you deserve good neighbors!

Hope your new neighbors are nice people and that the dog is friendly and doesn't dig under the fence.

I'm very wary of big dogs in particular and all dogs if they don't seem friendly.

Me, too. Even if most dogs seem to like me on sight, that doesn't make them friendly to Pretty. Once I start petting them, then she can move in and the dogs will accept her. Without me there, they're as likely to bite as to let her get close to them.

I hope they really are responsible pet owners.

I hope they end up being good neighbors and good dogs too. Time will tell. That was nice of you to give them your phone number in case they need anything.
