    I agree with Phred .......... UPS guy was delivering FOOD!!! Why on earth would you want to prevent him coming on in ....???!!!

    ......... although Ruby would NOT HAVE ALLOWED the man to even stop on the road without having a bark at him .........

    Logan, that's too funny! I don't think poor Klo was exposed to much cause she definitely is our Watch N Bark dog! I can't tell you how many times she went on a rampage in the middle of the night! AND, she's NOT satified until you check out what she's barking at and tell her she's a good girl! The new house rules are never ignore her when she's barking cause you never know! I think Cody (except for mailpersons and delivery people) got "ho-hummed" after a while! My friend's house was robbed and vandalized and his boxer, who is so friendly, apparently just followed the guy around telling him where everything was cause nobody heard a thing!



    I've been Boooo'd!

    Karen, I couldn't help but laugh at the story of your friends boxer. I know many dogs like that.

    My Draker is the creme de la creme of watch/bark dogs. He is weary of strangers that his mom and dad don't know or introduce him to. I would hate to be the burglar that tries to rob us!! Drake is always very alert. Just like Keegan, he lets me know when my neighbors are coming home.

    Sorry that your "intruder" went unnoticed by your doggy clan, Logan. Maybe better luck next time

    Lefty barks at T.V. doorbells too. We keep telling him we don't even HAVE a doorbell, but he won't listen.

    Just as I was typing that last sentence he gave a low throaty growl at something he heard outside (melting, dripping snow?)--we're camped out on the couch today (I'm sick, and doing last-minute holiday shopping online).

    The funniest part about all of this is that my dogs don't usually bark unless they hear the truck, but they do get all excited when someone walks up the front steps. The steps and porch are wood, so it makes a lot of noise. Of course, I didn't hear him either , so that might explain why they didn't!! LOL!!!!

    Hope you feel better soon, Smilla.

    Silly pups!!

    Kia was showing off at how she could be a good watchdog.

    Something outside must of been 'threatning' to her as she kept looking out the window and barking. Normally she doesn't do that and only barks if someone knocks on the door. I didn't see anything suspicious unless she scared it off.

Well you will never guess what he was tring to protect me from!!!! THE HOUSE PLANT Yes this dog was barking at my hanging house plant!!!! Whats up with that???? I guess he saw a spirit up there!

    They are smart dogs! They did not want to bite the man that brings them food!

    Jojo and Tiny barks at sounds even if it is the wind! Jojo might bite intruders but Tiny would lick them to death!

    Tiny is so weird, she barks at her reflection she sees in the windows at night!

    Thanks Logan! I am feeling a bit better already.

    Good thing I'm home, because I had to call someone because the boiler was acting up. He just left. Big surprise: Lefty barked at him.
