One of our "across the creek" neighbors either has a new dog, OR we have new across-the-creek neighbors who have a dog. In any case, this dog sees Sheila in our back yard, and attempts to strike up a conversation. Sheila does not seem to be interested. I tried to encourage her to interact, at least bark back, but no. Seems thoroughly uninterested. He just barked at her for a solid minute, and her response was to grandly ignore him, just continued basking in the noontime sun.

This is the same Sheila who whines whenever we see another dog on a walk, as if she wants to meet them, and here's a dog practically in her own back yard and she acts like he doesn't exist. Weird.
