So this morning I was outside digging out the drive (it was supposed to be one inch and turned out to be five, ungh) when the neighbor's Border Collie, Bandit, comes over to hang out with me and bark at my shovel.
Bandit is a regular visitor to our yard because he likes to infuriate Binkie (our territorial shih-tzu) by standing outside the picture window and casually peeing on Binkie's bushes.
Which has some bearing on the present story.
So there I am, back aching, groaning to lift yet another heavy shovelful of snow over the hedge, Bandit barking and lunging at my shovel every time with every scoop. All the while his owner is next door whirring along behind his self-propelled snow blower - absolutely oblivious to the whole exchange.
All of a sudden, Bandit proceeds to deposit a very large steaming gift-log right in snow I am shoveling! And while I am moving this little present to the side he gives me some lemon sno-cone as well!
Then Bandit trots merrily back to his yard where his owner looks up and waves at me.
Anybody else have neighbors like that?
LOL!
