My dog Bonnie is up for a ball game at any time of day or night. When I’ve been sitting at my desk for too long, she’ll remind me with a wet nose nudge or a paw on my leg.

It’s a fine line between prompting and pestering.

But what if you peer over the fence and you find that your neighbour is having the same problems?
