The mail carrier on my route told me why she never rings twice, and it changed how I set up my mornings

I was standing on my porch in Boise waiting for a package when Patrice, who has run this route for 11 years, waved me over and said she skips my street until after 2pm on purpose because my neighbor's dog loses its mind at the truck. I started leaving the gate unlocked and a cold water bottle on the step for her, and my packages stopped getting the little 'attempted delivery' sticker. Do other people actually know their carrier's name, or am I just late to this?
