One of the neighbors has a little fluffball barkydog that believes it controls the entire neighborhood. I can hear it barking, which tells me someone is outside in their own yard or walking down the street. This dog is probably about the size a cat, but with lots of hair.

It was annoying at first, but then it became sort of a game.

Dog: Bark!
Me: Hi, Ruff!
Dog: Bark! Bark!
Me: Oh, really, I hope your day gets better, Ruff.
Dog: Bark!

After a few minutes the dog gets bored and goes back over to its back porch.
