Paige, I am cruel. I would have let the landscaper attempt to hop the fence. Of course while he was on the way over, I would have let a dog or two out to make things more interesting...
The problem is that technically, they don't know that Gracie even exists, which is part of the issue. We hide her, since she and I are not on the lease, just my sister and her two dogs...

Some of the families in the neighborhood are going to go over to help get the yard cleaned up, & to add some ramps so that he doesn't have to work so hard to move his wife around in her wheelchair.
Good stuff - I like neighborly things like that. Good lesson for the boys, too, of course.
Meg, when I left Gracie for the trip to Louisiana post Katrina, we didn't know how long we'd be gone, but knew it would be a minimum of 2 weeks. I left one very full page of instructions, with half of that being her obedience commands and how/when to use them. So, since she's not a medical "special needs" type dog, but is "needy" in other ways, I can see how you'd be looking at 2 pages. (Now, when I leave her, one page is obedience instructions, the other is *just* the food portions, allergies, vet info, and my contact info, etc. 
- I figure the more answers I leave, the less they will need to know the answers, right?)
I just had the best juicy burger on an asiago kaiser roll and grilled corn on the cob. My stomach feels like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner - I don't eat that much in one sitting! wheeeww.. my stomach is FULL!
