This is me - keeping watch and protecting the family. |
One of my main jobs is protecting Joan from various delivery men who come to the door during the day and all the people and dogs who walk by our house. I sit in the window quite a bit of the day and keep watch. If someone goes by, or a delivery truck stops, I set off the alarm, which is greatly appreciated, I know.
I'm a terrific guard dog - unless the vacuum cleaner comes out. If I see that noisy monster, all bets are off - I have to abandon my post. Or if it looks like bath time - I hate that! When I see the dog towels, I know immediately what's up and I try to hide out under the bed. This never did much good, but I keep trying.
Another job I have is keeping Joan company and keeping watch while she works at the computer all day. I might take a little snooze now and then but if she gets up to go downstairs, I'm right behind her in a flash. She might be going to the kitchen to get me a treat!
I have to be in the lead when we walk. |
We have some other important events on our daily calendar too. Eating breakfast and going for our morning walk - which is at the park if we're lucky! When it's cooler, we go for a walk in the evening too and Ted comes. In this 105 degree heat, though, we've been skipping the evening walk. I wouldn't mind going in the heat but Leo can't make it very far.
Somewhere during the day, Leo and I have to fit in our regular 5 or 6 naps too.
Leo and I love evenings when Ted and Joan sit down to watch TV. Ted always gives us belly rubs and Leo and I take turns sitting by his chair. That Leo! When she thinks it's her turn, she just barges in and pushes me out of arms reach.
Here's me enjoying my nightly belly rub! |
Leo's undignified when she gets her belly rub |
All ready for a much needed night's sleep. |
It's sure a dog's life!
Nice blog! I enjoyed getting to know you and would have shared it with my fur-girls, but they're out on patrol... we live in the woods and there are critters to talk to (from the safety of their pen)...
ReplyDeleteHi Molly! Your job sounds rough. I wish my mom stayed home with me and my sisters all day -but she leaves to go to work. So my job is to guard the yard. It's hard! Beauregard James the bloodhound.
