just like us

After the Hills realized we were'nt moving the tree, they decided to be civil and say "hi" after a month had passed.
We had two dogs at the time Mouse-a keeshound shepherd mix, and Big - a great Dane shepherd mix who was about 4foot at the shoulder on all fours and weighed around 95 pounds.
We have a deck that surrounded our pool and a six foot privacy fence. As it worked out the top step was only about 2 foot from the top of the fence, so Big could stand on it and look right over the fence. Hank wisely decided to make friends with Big.
At the time the Hills had one dog, a real cute terrier/basset looking thing named Fred. He's a cool little dog and is still around. Well, Hank decided he just had to get a big dog to, so they adopted a golden retriever (who has since gone to doggie heaven) and named him Blue. Well ole Hank was so goofy, he kept calling poor Blue, Big! So the moron had to go out and buy his dog a blue collar so he could remember the poor confused creature's name.
As just mentioned, we had a pool and after Big dog passed away, we adopted Roxie. I would get into the pool after work and Roxie would come running across the deck and cannonball in after me. Well, seeing how much fun we were having, the Hills just HAD to get a pool too. So up went the deck and the pool. Only problem was, ole Fred didn't like to swim. I would here them trying to coax Fred into the water with them and the little guy just refused. By this time Blue was gone, and they adopted some yappy little pain in the ass mutt named Nessa (what kinda dog name is that for gawd's sake?) who also wouldn't swim.
By this time ol Hank must have done some research to find out what kinda dog swims, because they adopted a black lab next. Miracles of miracles, he swims!At last, they had a dog that could swim like ours. Poor Hills- we gace away the pool 2 years ago because it was a pain in the butt to keep clean and the only one using it anymore was Roxie.
Now I'll let you in on a secret......Hank's real last name is Murphy. Guess what the lab's name is....yup Murphy.

Next installment.....it's green, no it's gray, no it's blue.
