The adventure has changed a bit. It is now just the girl. My meanderings and travels to distance lands...

My new neighbors
I meet one of my new neighbors. He is an older Spanish man who lives in the attic apartment. Sarita mentioned that he had dogs that might be great play mates for Harper. I've lived here for a week and I've heard the man on the stairs with his digs a couple if times. Honestly they sound like aan angry wild pack of wolves....lol I hear him trying to control them as he is going up the stairs. Their nails clawing into the contrete stairs. Harper has gone nearly insane when they've passed our door! I've actually been a little frightened by the noise of the dogs...they sound like they might attack for no reason. Well yesterday morning after returning from our walk I heard them coming down the stairs...snarling and clawing their way. I could hear the old man tell them to esperete (wait in Spanish) I'm sad to say that I was gripped by fear by the sounds they were making. It's really hard to see up my stairwelll, it's dark and has four levels to each flight, so all I could do was hear their approach. I looked down at Harper and nearly psnicked he was getting all amped up anticipating the encounter. Harper isn't one to back down from a confrontation. Sometimes I sm appalled by harpers readiness to jump into s fray. It is totally the terrier in him. He's pulling at the leash so I start backing back down the stairs, thinking I'd just wait in the vestibule until tje old man comes down the stairs. I DID NOT want to try and pass him in the narrow stairwell. Harper is getting more and more excited so I think maybe I should just go back outside the entry door from the calle and wait. I'm really in a quandry because the snarling, growling and clawing is getting louder and closer! I make the decision to just leave and I'm trying to yank Harper out the door when i look up and finally got a look at the motely crew of demon dogs...OMG!!! They are three chihauhaus! I couldn't believe it!! All that noise and struggle coming from three dogs that probably weigh 7-8 pounds each!
