Meet the Neighbors.

So when I came home from afternoon practice yesterday the neighbor's dog was outside tied to the clothes line pole again. It started yapping away as soon as I stepped out of the car so I decided to go check her out. It's a tiny little Blue Heeler - Pit bull mix with a Ton of energy! After some initial sniffing I was good to go for petting and playing with the mini dog. I went in after a couple of minutes to wash up, remove the ice bag from my leg, and scarf some dinner. I went back out afterwards with my mini soccer ball since the dog was still out there and obviously bored and yapping at everything. We played for a bit then the neighbors came out a bit bewildered looking. Apparently their dog doesn't usually get along with other people so they were quite surprised I was playing with it.
Long story short - we sat on the back porch for awhile taking turns playing fetch and chatting. They are nice folks and her name is Katie also. They are newlyweds (two weeks) and are both from here in Lyons. We eventually wore the dog out and I was tired of swatting those blasted mosquitoes so we parted ways.
