The neighboring lots are the same size as this one, but are right up against each other. the people right next door also have a dog but it is let out on the side farther away from the new hose. The road in front of the house has a very little amount of traffic, since only the four household on that road use it (it's private property). The other two houses (the one behind and the one catty-corner) both have dogs but they are kept in fences or on leashes when outside. Both houses also have cats and one lets their cats roam free outside. All of the neighbors keep their lawns and gardens looking nice and both have more than one child (six girls-ages 8, 10, 12, 12, 14, 16-total and one boy-14).
