Another , less controversal method would be to telephone the offending neighbor, prior to the granddaughters depature, to verify that their dogs are indoors .
Personally , I prefer the "Whisper" Hornett in either bb , or .117 pellet flavor as it is a 'multi-tasker'.

I think that they are well aware of the bus-times, and I would expect that they would respond to a simple request to keep the dog in would suffice. These people are relatively new to the neighborhood, and I seriously doubt that the people who sold them the houses told them the rules.

At any rate, our dog sometimes escapes the fence. She is very friendly to humans - lousy watch dog, but will be aggressive to any and all dogs of any size that may pass by. At any rate, someone needs to be at the bus stop these days anyway, and not just for 4 legged critters.

So I would not have been that aggressive about this little dog, but I would have asked them if they had a copy of the restrictions, and asked them to make an extra effort during bus times. My granny said you get more flies with honey, so I'd try the nice approach first. That's just me.

Since I am outside anyway usually, I just go with her if the dogs are out, and chase them away.
