Sort Of Security

An interloper came near our house and the defense team responded
though Landon might fall in the sort of security department with his fluffiness.

We have a vacant lot beside us for sale which results in the periodic person wandering through. Our guards go on high alert, though Landon’s fluffiness makes him more cute than threatening.

I hear the snickers from the audience as I try to look tough.

When threatened, Landon often squeaks and squawks in a range of higher pitched noises. During this stretch, he did his best to use his gruff voice and look intimidating.

I am Boom Boom. Hear me roar.

Hu-Dad was impressed. Well, almost impressed. Then a heron croaked as it flew over the marsh and the boys forgot the human threat out front.

The sort of security team got distracted by a bird.

    Landon looks like he was trying to “fluff up” to look bigger & scarier to the intruders!! Birds don’t count he’s already bigger than they are!!

    That is why we live in the country away from everyone. I will never move in next to land that can be developed or bought because you never know who you might get as a neighbor and I have enough grumpy neighbors and neighbors who do not care as it is.

    Always something to keep their interest. No rest for the weary.
