Next door have got a dog.  No, not our neighbours of 25 years who feed
our cats when we go away, but the other way.  It seems to be a guard
dog.  It has a bit of fenced drive to live in most of the time, and it
barks when someone appears.  It is large and fairly mean looking.

  Our cats were not amused.  But they got used to it, and now they go
and sneer at Wuffles if they are bored.

  Yesterday Nanki Poo, who at 12 still likes his tricks, eg getting
humans to open the front door, went out the front door.  I went with him
to see if he would like a walk.

  He stalked out of our front door, out of our gate, into next door's
drive, and walked up to their car, along to the back, just next to
Wuffles' fence.  Then he went to the toilet over their car.

  He then came back to the house and retired to bed.
