A new home for Shiloh

We thought we might really have to find a new home for Shiloh but for now we're committed to keeping her and just dealing with our completely grumpy, mean, threatening neighbor. For the last two weeks we have come home to notes being tacked to our front door filled with threats to call animal control and file charges against us for our barking dog, but our ever mature neighbor has mistakenly forgotten to leave his name or the house number where we can reach him to try and be neighborly in a good way. We have always kept Shiloh in the laundry room at night so barking at night never happens and during the day I will admit she barks when people or cars go behind our fence on the street behind us, but last time I checked dogs were allowed to bark. So we continue to speak to her when she barks for just a minute longer than we think she should during the day, and we're hoping with some therapy she'll become reformed enough that our neighbors will cease from dropping off their lovely notes.

In the mean time, the kids and Mark have been working on a dog house for her and I must admit, I'm rather shocked at how well it's turned out! I'll post a few pics now and then try to get a few more when it's completely done. It's large enough that if the kids misbehave it could be a temporary home for them as well.
