I live in a duplex and my neighbor leaves earlier than David or I get up in
the morning. The dogs went nuts at first but mostly they are okay now. On the
other hand they freak every day when the mailman comes.

Cool thing, though, a solicitor came to the door last night and he got so
freaked out that when I poked my head through the door he just apologized and
left. I figured I'd let him think they were vicious instead of explaining that
they're actually very nice unless they perceive a threat. They just enjoy
barking at strangers.
