So my dog sleeps on my porch behind a really thin screen. He likes it there to people watch, etc. He's trained to ignore our gardeners so they can do their job fine with him just laying around there. They know him, he knows them. Its a nice relationship.
Well today apperantly they had a new guy. Im sitting on the porch reading a newspaper and pup is sleeping under my feet near flower bed. First our mexican friend comes by, says hello, and keeps doing his business. Pup keeps sleeping.
Now a white guy who we never seen before with a nice beer belly comes by with the leaf blower. Apperantly he has never seen a big dog, so he's standing there just staring at the pup. Pup ignores him, keeps sleeping under the flower bed. Guy proceeds to say in a loud tone: "Woah, what a huge dog". I look at him, and so does my pup... His eye's said: "Stop bothering me, let me sleep".
Now the genious with the leaf blower got the idea that we didnt notice him. His next move was very stupid and very funny. He proceeds to raise his arm in my pups direction and tried to wave at him a bit. It honestly looked like he was reaching for the porch door. At this point all hell broke loose and my pup exploded on him. Luckily he's trained not to engage anything beyond the screen, so he just stood on his hind legs barking for a few seconds.
In 1 second that it took my pup to get from sleeping under flower bed to full attack mode, the guys face changed colors few times and i think he lost his speech for a second there. Obviously he thought that a 1mm thick screen is not gonna stop a 140 lb dog.
I told pup to go inside, which he did, gardener said he was sorry and went away to do his business.
I had a good laugh. Moral of the story, dont mess with puppies naptime :hail:
