Sigh. Well Amigos, the old woman Slow has gotten on my last nerve today with her incessant camera clicking, camera clicking, camera clicking and her gotcha, gotcha mumblings.
Spike was on guard duty…
while I licked something very important
Clickety, click click
Okay – we get it – you caught us dozing
Clickety, click, click
Snapped to attention, okay?
Clickety click, click
So we have to guard Casa de Canterbury against marauders and other evil persons in uniforms driving small white trucks with US Postal Service on them or large brown trucks saying UPS – nothing good comes from men in uniforms getting out of trucks that have U’s on the side and walking to our front door carrying packages. God knows what could be in them. U could be the secret signal for Unload the Plague here.
We must protect this casa at all costs…although, it’s not like we have the crown jewels or anything really important inside. It’s the principle of the thing, if you catch my drift. We are the first line of defense and we must be ever vigilant and ever alert. No time for licking.
Get me outta here Percy – I think I see Slow coming with the camera again. Catch you later, Sports Fans. Beware the Devils in Disguise.

This had me missing my old dog, Toby! He was a mix of German Shepherd and Labrador Retriever. A golden pound puppy who my ex got custody in 2008 and I saw him before he died at age 13 years old, in 2012. He was always vigilant and the protector of the casa, as you mention! It also had me chuckling, too! Thanks for the fun stuff to sink my ‘teeth into’ but really come away with fond memories, too.

I never trust anyone who doesn’t love dogs. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I once lost four dogs in a court decision in favor of an ex. I was heartbroken. I’m glad you saw yours before he was gone.

I went more regularly in the beginning with my youngest daughter who had a key, sort of ‘on the sly.’ But, this is so sad, Sheila, he would howl and carry on, like he was saying, “Where have you been, Mommy?!” I felt so upset one of the times, I actually was the one who slowed down and nearly stopped going. I guess this was on my guilty conscience…. Anyway, my brothers dogs love me, my son’s dogs lick my face and my Mom’s dog, Nicki, lets me trim up the hairs on her face and her behind…. yucky topic, but someone has to do it.. I am sure you have heard worse!
Thanks for the mutual sympathy, I extend mine back to you at the loss of 4 dogs! Way too much and so sad to hear this, Sheila!

Ah, so glad you have some dogs in your life, Robin – even if you are assigned the “behind” duties. Thanks so much for the words of comfort.

Aw Red, it’s a shame you don’t have a postman like our Leo. He has Milkbones in his truck! I just go crazy when he stops by. So do all the other pups in the neighborhood. Mind you, we still need to guard against the Big, Brown Truck. Nasty business leaving boxes on porches!! What if there are steaks inside?! Lol!!
Love,
Your Miss Poppy Seed

Oh, my dear Red Man, you and Spike have it all wrong. You don’t actually have sit by the door. You can be anywhere in the house and all you have to do is start barking like you’ve lost your mind. I can assure you that the humans will immediately make a beeline for the door and take care of whatever security issue may (or may not) be on the other side. And you don’t even have to get up. Works for me every single time!
