Dearest dogs

[corgipower]

Thank you very much for you vigilance and for helping me feel safe.

But is it really necessary to bark at airplanes flying over the house?

 

[oakash]

Well duh! Of course they have to bark, they have to let you know...that...um...errr....

Well they just do!

We are now safe from buzzards and trains here.

We are safe from people shutting car doors, squirrels, and invasive cats here.

Tallulah is so paranoid she's almost qualified to work for TSA . . . except she'd score to high on the employment tests

At least they are barking at SOMETHING, I suppose.

Morgan's favorite thing to protect us from is... nothing. The only time he barks is if someone is at the front door, or if nothing is at the front door. Mostly he likes to bark at the nothing, because he knows we won't let his friends in and he has to wait if he barks when there are actually people there.

Oh yes. We're well protected from squirrels too.

Very clever. And ya know, The Nothing can be very dangerous.

Yeah Riley barks at pretty much anything too, especially squirrels, kids and construction/garbage trucks (which he is terrified of)

Tar Baby said, "Yes, it is.". Not only must such protector-of-the-universe (aka the dog) do so, but growls are also warranted. And if such plane is just too darn low, then He-Dog must howl as if warning housemates of impending tornadoes or atomic bombs. The howling also serves duel purpose to let such plane's pilots that the noise level is unacceptable.

Falling leaves. Don't forget the savage falling leaves.

Homeland Security called. They want to hire Morgan. He doesn't even need training :rofl1:

Also if the curtains are open, random people walking down the street.

My least favorite alarm consists of Tipper (who is paranoid) making a WHUFF noise, then Mu making a WHUFF WHUFF noise and then incessant howling/alarm raising/craziness when NO ONE knows what is going on. Then when I stomp up/down stairs to see what's going on they all look guilty and act like they don't know who started it.

I wouldn't mind that so much. But I live on 16 acres surrounded by woods. We don't have people walking past the house. And actually, if someone is out in the yard, the dogs get very silent about it and just watch...and wait...and hope...

I guess since there's nothing real to protect me from, they have to feel useful by warning about things like airplanes and squirrels and blowing branches hitting the side of the house and OMG!!! you should have heard them when a bird flew into the window this morning.

My dogs have got that trash collector WHIPPED. Man, he scats out of here like a bat out of hell after they start barking...!!! Err the fact he's done getting out trash has NOTHING to do with it...!
