When Annie and Simon are dashing from window to window in extreme excitement -- so much so that Simon snaps at Annie in misplaced or misdirected aggression -- it means there's a dog out there. 99% of the time it's one of two dogs:
- Buddy, an aged white fluffy mop dog, who is usually walked by the male owner, a middle-aged Chinese-American. If Buddy is being walked by the mom, he may be off-leash. Annie and Simon like Buddy -- if they were to meet it would not be a disaster. But in general, avoid it.
- Ace (?), a young black pitbull from across the street. Usually walked by the clueless teenage boy who barely speaks English. Simon and Annie hate Ace with a white-hot hate. Do NOT take them for their 'outs' when he is around, or even right after he has been around.
Side note: The boy does not pick up after Ace. They go down onto the berm area, but Ace may poop anywhere between the road and the berm. Watch your step.
