    Watch dogs?? I don't think so!

    In anticipation of our delivery from UPS of the dog food that we need very badly, I opened the front door a little while ago.

    A few minutes ago, I walked into the kitchen, and noticed that the UPS man has been here (two 40 pound boxes were delivered up the steps and onto the front porch), and not one dog even heard him!!! LOL!!!!! All four were inside as it is raining "cats and dogs", literally, here.

    I guess I feel much less protected than I thought I was!!! LOL!!!

    LOL. How funny! Precious is our best watch dog. She thinks she's big and tuff and barks whenever the UPS man, or really anyone, comes to our house. I don't think she knows she a little pomeranain. She probably thinks she more like a great dane. LOL

    Heck, I have four BIG dogs, and granted, one of them (Murphy) is totally deaf, so I didn't expect her to hear anything, but the others???? LOL!!!!

    That's really funny! Duke barks at practically everyone. He's our lookout dog.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Tasha is the most attentive at being watch dog, but if she woofs, Tommy is instantly up and looking all over and woofing too. His bark is deep and loud and I think would sould pretty intimidating to someone who didn't know him.

    What is really funny is if we are all downstairs in the den watching TV, and if a doorbell rings on TV, both dogs race upstairs barking bloody murder at the "intruder" lol.

    "Watch dogs?? I don't think so!"
    ______________________________

    My boys bark at doorbell rings off the television!!!! If someone knocks on a door on TV or says "Hello", they bark. They rule the bark yard and keep it free of brids, squirels and such. They know the sound of our cars and when we drive up........... and they bark. But other than that, I think I could probably be robbed blind. I have to give them credit though. Being little Wiener dogs, there really isn't much they could do, maybe I could just pick them up and throw them at a burglar.........
    This is how they like to spend much of the day.............

    Sure they're good watch dogs ....

    They watched the truck pull up
    They watched the UPS guy get the boxes ready
    They watched the UPS guy bring the boxes up
    They watched the UPS guy go back to the truck
    They watched the UPS guy and his truck drive away ...

    How much more atching do you want? Oh - you mean you need a Bark! dog!

    Logan that sure wouldn't have happened here. My two live at the front window. They are like two fuzzy busybodies watching anything and everything that goes on in the neighborhood.

    I have two "bark" dogs and one "snore" dog! Aneko wouldn't even know if someone was at the door if the other two didn't make such a ruckus.

    Mine are particulary good watch dogs if Michael's not home. If he's here though, they slack off a lot more.
