When I take Annie out for her morning walk anytime before 6:30 am, we can be sure to run into Freaky Weird Dog. Or, rather, he is sure to run into us.
He’s a sweet dog, but his social manners are missing. He gets his nose all over Annie, which she hates, and he constantly side-swipes her from behind, which she also hates. When Annie sees FWD, she turns and goes the other direction. Only FWD always follows, so it gets really frustrating.
Yesterday morning I fixed the problem. In my best Hungarian I said, “Menj haza!” (Go home!)
And he did! He walked the entire length of the street, without stopping, all the way back to his gate. And it worked again this morning.
I am definitely ready for the Springfield Police Department!

Within their fenced yard are several low-lying buildings, a sheep, a dog which is always chained up and barks at me whenever he sees me, and another dog, his compatriot, Freaky Weird Dog. (I don’t know why FWD outranks Chained Dog and gets two daily intervals of freedom). Every weekday morning three yellow delivery trucks load up chimney brushes and various other things here then drive off. Among the trucks and buildings run a flock of chickens. [...]

Funny! Who knew that your Hungarian practice would be between you and a dog???
I also think that it’s cool that you gave the dog a nickname.
