Two useless dogs.
We came back from our walk yesterday, and I set about alternately prepping our dinner and the dogs' dinner. In between, I happened to walk to the bathroom, and spotted, standing square in the middle of our driveway, one Hazmat truck, and about 6 firefighters. So, I go out onto the driveway, and find an additional fire truck, parked square in front of our garage. There are a bunch of people walking from Truck A to Truck B. Spoke to my neighbor, and apparently, someone called in some sort of hazardous material spill from an address that did not exist (We're 89 and neighbors are 93, and the call came in about 91, which should be between the two of us, but we'd know for sure if there were a house between the two of us). Anyhoo, once they were there, they couldn't get out because of the size of the truck and the way the driveway is configured. Apparently, they had been there for a good 15 minutes by the time I discovered the mess, and they were there an additional 15 or 20 before they figured out what to do. Not a peep out of the two dogs the entire time. They were watching their bowls, so if the firemen had tried to steal that, we would've been good. Otherwise, I'd be SOL. Anyone want some used dogs?

If he's otherwise occupied (dinner isn't usually much of a distraction) and someone knocks on the door without him seeing them coming up the walk, all hell breaks loose. It's as if he's embarrassed by missing the initial incursion and makes up for it with extra volume. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

You know, be thankful. My two have been on constant, continuous bark alert at every moving, car, bike, dog, walker, leaf since we've moved into the new house with the big picture windows down at floor level. Very annoying. If I'm in the room and ask them to cut it out, they do stop but its a big house and I'm not always in the room. |

It's as if he's embarrassed by missing the initial incursion and makes up for it with extra volume. See, at least he has the good sense to recognize that he failed at his duties and to be embarassed. I took Pan outside to show her the firepeople/trucks, and all she wanted to do was go back inside (in case it was a dirty rotten trick and Khan had started on dinner without her). Suja |
