[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you have a friendly past with the neighbor, maybe you can take this opportunity to have a good conversation and let them know that you're afraid of dogs and think your kids might be, too. Let them know that the puppy charging at you when you exit your house scares you and ask if there's a good time that the puppy is a bit calmer so that you can introduce puppy to your kids and get to know puppy a bit. A little interaction with a small puppy couldn't hurt you, you've let your neighbors know that you're uncomfortable with the charging but you're not making it WWIII. I'd do it now, before the little puppy becomes a dog. It sounds likely that the puppy is there to stay so I'd try to make the best of it and take the opportunity to make your kids more comfortable around dogs. [/quote] This is op. I have thought of this idea as an opportunities to conquer fear & show it to my kids, and my neighbor does not mind my kids play with their puppy because I have seen my neighbor kids play with that puppy already. Many people love puppy. But the problem is that my neighbor does not wear mask hanging out or talking to others in the neighborhood ( and I cannot force them), and so do most of my neighborhood kids play with puppy do not wear masks. People (Adult & kids) are so comfortable not wearing masks hanging out together in my neighborhood because we are neighbors and they think covid risks are low & outdoors. They get the puppy because their only child is so lonely at home, and their child play with many kids together in the neighborhood maskless. I don’t feel comfortable to hang out with neighbor & their puppy as of now. DH is not scared of any dog because he grew up here & most of his childhood friends have small & big dogs. We will not own dogs because A of my fear, and I also cannot handle one more baby (puppy).[/quote] So is it the dog or the masks?[/quote] +100[/quote]
