“Okay, we’re all set inside. I just need to go out and measure the perimeter of the house and get a few more pictures. I should be out of your hair in about ten minutes. Do you have any dogs around back?” “No, but the neighbor’s dog is usually back there. She’s pretty ill-tempered. But don’t worry, she’ll run right up to you and make a lot of noise, but she won’t do anything as long as you don’t turn your back on her.” “Are you kiddin’ me? I HAVE to turn my back on her to do my job.” “Yeah, maybe I’d better come out with you.” “Will she listen to you?” “No, but at least I can warn you when she’s coming.” “Why would she be so aggressive when this isn’t even her property?” “Because she’s insane. So’s her owner.” “One of those, huh?” “Yeah, he’s a head case. But he doesn’t live there full time. He’s from down around York – just comes up for a few days when he feels like it. I don’t know what the attraction is. That place doesn’t even have running water.” Where does he do his business?” “I don’t ask.” “I wouldn’t put up with some nasty mutt coming up to my house and terrorizing people. She might take a chunk out of your wife some day when you’re not here.” “I know. My wife says that herself. I’m really gonna say something to him next time I see him.” “Next time him and his dog are taking dumps in your yard?” “Don’t laugh. I’ve actually checked.”
