Roaring mowers from morning to evening (I might just be the neighborhood's earliest mower...but never before 8.30 am).

A visiting Boxer at the neighbors consistently barking for our Lab to have fun running the fence. At age ten, Arwen doesn't care to run the fence anymore, and the Boxer is left to run alone, while continuing to bark.
