Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

AND, one of the neighbor dogs is able to get into our backyard, but can't get from our yard back to his. Is it wrong to put Roman outside and let Roman (part aussie shepherd) run the dog (which is part cocker spaniel) into the ground? I wonder when the owners will come knocking on our door having noticed that one of their 4 dogs is missing?

It would probably be fun for them! And then everyone would have tired dogs and that's a good thing. right?

Relatedly, it makes me sad that my actual cat doesn't get it when I say to him, "OH HAI." Or "O RLY?"
I will admit that I often do the xkcd-inspired "\o/ YOU'RE A KITTY!" at my roommate's cat.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Did you let Roman demarcate his territory when you moved in?

I guess the silver lining is that if the dog could get back into his own yard, Roman could get out of your's.
