Last night our dog was out in the back yard barking up a storm. Jeff opened the back door to call her in, but she wouldn't come. He put on some shoes, went out into the yard and tried to get her to come in the house. I was in the house listening to Jeff yell, "Pixie" for quite some time. I finally went out to see what was going on.
There was an enormous opossum on the top of our fence. At least that is what we are saying it was in actuality it was dark and it was huge, it had a bald tail and that is about all we know. We were afraid to get between Pixie and the opossum so we were trying to call Pixie away from the fence. Of course she wouldn't listen. Jeff has this habit of standing up with his full six feet and yelling, "Pixie" and wondering why she never listens to him. I always just squat down and hold out my hand. I don't even have to call her she just comes to me when I do this. This is especially helpful when she runs out the front door and down the street at the speed of lightning.
I picked her up, even though she is a pretty good sized dog, and carried her into the house. She was upset and wanted back out. I was proud of her for protecting the family.
Later that night, our friend Chad, who is staying with us off and on, came to our house late at night when we were all asleep. Our lovely dog didn't even wake up.
I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

Good dog!
Pixie the watch dog! Good for her!
Did you give her a treat? Glad it wasn't a skunk.
But, you are missing the part where a man came into my house while I was sleeping and my dog didn't even notice.
Yeah Pixie. I'm thinking that Pixie didn't bark at Chad, because she knew that he was a friend, not a foe. Either that or she was just too worn-out from standing up to that opossum.
We used to have a yellow lab who i swear would greet an intruder at the door wagging her tail and then show him where the good silver is kept.
