Our mailmen just deliver the mail to our roadside mailbox, so he doesn’t actually enter the yard. My dog doesn’t even get up to howl at him. The Fedex guy, on the other hand, gets the full five alarm treatment.

The pizza guy gets similar treatment until the door is opened and he smells the pizza. Then all is forgiven. Buddy’s a slave to pizza.
