My dog may look intimidating....

But she totally failed as a guard dog tonight.

She was outside and I was just getting ready to bring her in because it had started raining. We have an electric fence so she has her run of the entire yard, front and back. Just as I'm getting a towel to dry her off, the doorbell rings. Some salesman, does his pitch, with me trying to get rid of him, and the dog nowhere in sight. She is supposed to prevent people from coming to my door, damnit!

I figured she was at the back edge of the backyard, where she wouldn't have heard anyone come into the yard, but no. When I went to call her in she was laying in her usual spot, under the pine tree, not 20 feet from the side door. (it's maybe another 20 feet to the front door.)

Doggie FAIL

Hahaha, uh oh. My dog would have killed the guy. No, seriously. He really does protect the house, but he does a little TOO good of a job!! We have to drag him away from the door into his crate before we can even attempt to answer the door. But he sure does scare people away!!!

Lol! On New Years Eve, I was so tired that I made a beeline for the bed as soon as we walked in the door. Jeff was pretty drunk and followed right behind me with the dog--leaving the front door wide open! Our neighbor called us 6 times between both phones and finally came over and knocked on the storm door at 3:30 because she was worried about us. She ended up shutting the door (which is super loud) and even the dog slept through it. He's too small to be a guard dog, but I thought he would at least be a little more attentive
