Sometimes

one neighbor next door has two small dogs that bark sometimes, but not all day or anything like that. the neighbor beside that same neighbor has three or four dogs(1 medium the rest small) that don’t bark much. i have two dogs of my own that will not be in the backyard area, but mine will be in a separately fenced in area that connects directly to the house door. there is a 5’ gate that connects that area to the back yard where the guest dogs will be, but i am going to keep it locked at all times. i have a large gate for the guest dogs on the side fence of the back yard that i will be using to walk them in or out. i can check on dogs out of the back windows of my house.

Sometimes

there is a rooster a few hundred yards away that crows once or twice in the morning. the neighbors that have the four dogs two houses down have a friendly pig. you can see them (four dogs/pig) through the fences across the backyard of my next door neighbor.

Sometimes

my next door neighbors (on the opposite side of my house as the ones with two dogs) have a carport that can be seen from the back yard. it’s about 75 feet from the fence. also he has another port with a workshop connected that that is located about 60 feet from the fence, beside the very back of my back yard. behind my yard there are two adjacent yards, and one directly behind mine. one adjacent yards is blocked off from view by a wooden fence. all of the other fencing can be seen through. ps: my dogs are good guard dogs, and they will protect your dogs. i will be home all day every day. i will be getting groceries delivered to make sure the dogs are safe, and i exercise here already anyway. i don’t go out to bars nor anywhere else really, and if i want restaurant food i am getting that delivered too.
