The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Well, following that threat my mom and I received at the expense of a crabby old man a while back as we walked our two dogs, to my surprise (kind of), my mom went back over to talk with him.

At around 1:00 PM central standard time, my mom and I took our two dogs for a walk. Every day, I take them eastbound and side-by-side, there are two houses with fences or gates that have dogs (go figure). The yard that's fenced in has an underground pool and a tan lab or retriever-looking dog. Regardless of how near or fa...
