I let Brooks and Goose out to the front yard (fenced, with padlocked gate) for a bit last night while we were finishing a show (Brooks is in a "let's see what demand barking gets me" stage and the toddler was sleeping). They'd been out for approximately two minutes when They both started to bark. Since that's not common, and since I don't let the dogs bark outside, I headed to let them in. When I stood up, I saw that a car was stopped out front. This is not necessarily odd, because once in awhile, people will stop by one of the neighbors' but park in an odd spot. But, I did see that someone was out of their car. My husband quickly rushed outside, at which point the car took off down the street.
Now, perhaps someone stopped to speak to a neighbor (there were some people in the street a bit further down the block), but it was very odd and certainly unusual) Just in case, the dogs are on supervised pee runs only for awhile. I also realized Brooks hadn't been microchipped yet, so remedied that today.
