oh good! I was just imaging that your dogs were "in the know" that the neighbors were evil somehow (kept thinking of that movie, "Night of the Living Dead" and you just innocently not knowing.. all the while they are raising their hackles and growling at these ghouls... raised the goose bumps on me! I mean, there really is no obvious reason for the territory issue much but that must be it, right? Or there is a possibility that they smell funky. Have you been to their house yet? Know what goes on over there?
