This must be for adults only wiv all the pee sniffing going on:-)

I recognize Koa's nose! (I think) Great shot, and you're right, they're great dogs. My dog likes to sniff your dog's pee on our bushes. I was thinking that it was a Westie who got attacked by the pit bulls. So was the Baker road work part of the neighborhood intrigue? I haven't heard any updates on Annette's whereabouts. Hmm...

I know exactly where you live Mardie (our dog likes to pee on your bushes). Your dog hasn’t barked at us much, but I know the chocolate labs belonging to Markus and Deb? and they are big pushovers, so I expect yours is too. In fact, see below a picture I was going to use of one of their dogs had I gone with “DOF” instead of this topic I am now regretting :-( Regarding our infamous neighbors; my girlfriend is the one who organized the meetings with the city about all this mess. I know we’ve chatted once briefly, do come out and say hello next time you see us walking by, and hope to see you posting here after you get your new camera.

I've seen a Westie, maybe with you. I only made it to one of the meetings about our infamous neighbors. I'm on the corner of 52nd & 2nd. Black lab mix barking fiercely at dogs passing by (son of one of the chocolates on 2nd.) PLEASE don't post a shot of my house here!!! It's falling down around me, but I have visions of house repairs and wonderful landscaping. I'm shopping for my first digital and happened on these challenges. May be ready to post something soon.

Wow, small world Mardie! We live on Baker Ave. (yeah the one the SWAT team had to visit not so long ago) and can be seen walking our little white Westie dog around the neighborhood- have you seen us around?
Yes, this ugly thing. I may reshoot it from the side as it better shows all their geometric handywork with the wood. I have to be careful though, I shot it once and the tenants got worried that the landlord was going to sell it. No doubt it would become one of the newer MacMansions if they did.
Sounds like you have been in the neighborhood longer than me Mardie, you may know some really ugly houses somewhere on the hill- would love to see you post them here.

Brent, we're neighbors. This house was always ugly! I'm usually confronted by the side view, but this shot captures the beast. At least it serves as a distraction from the newer soulless monsters. (lookin' for the bright side)

Good point Brent, this can give us another angle to work with. I bet that house looked great when it was new. Nice snapshot mate:-)
