It's not Me; It's YOU!

So, about a year ago, when I was still trying to walk Shane and Maggie together - I've since some to my senses - we walked past a house that contains a highly reactive dog that goes nuts in the blinds when we go past. Now I'm certain we are not the only dogs that walk past that house, but the owner decided to run out into the street in her PJs and yell at us that if we walked past her house one more time she would call the Police. I avoided the house for a few months and then decided WTF and started walking by. As I walked by, I would give her the middle finger salute by either adjusting my glasses or scratching my head.

So, about a week ago, I was approaching that house with Shane when the owners and their son came walking out of the garage with their dog, who proceeded to bark, lunge, and basically go nuts. As they struggled to get the dog under control and away from us, Shane and I walked calmly past. Sweet victory. I didn't give her the salute because her son was with her.
