Exhausting Security Work

As a working breed, we appreciate the efforts involved in labor, but our exhausting security work wears us out.

We put a lot of time and effort into the protection of our house—mainly keeping squirrels, birds, and other nefarious creatures far away (or, frustratingly, in the trees over our heads). Such labor can really zap energy.

Don’t worry, though, no matter how tired we might be, we’re always prepared to spring into battle at the slightest suspicion of evil invaders.

Fortunately, I don't suspect anything, so I'll just nap.

    Chaplin: “Dennis always used to tell us, perimeter patrol against evil perpetrators is a never-ending job!”
    Lulu: “Dennis was big on patrolling the yard, then?”
    Charlee: “Oh no. It was a never-ending job for Trixie, not for Dennis.”

    My little pack is obsessed with Squirrels. One of them opened the door and all ran out chasing the Rat with a fluffy tail. Good work boys…keeping Chez Herd safe!

    Sweet boys! Have they ever managed to catch a squirrel??

      We didn’t have squirrels at the old Chez Herd, so no, but we caught lots of voles and Typhoon caught dozens of rabbits.

        I remember the story of the flashlight…where Hu-Dad shined it right at a rabbit and Typhoon all but said thank you before he took off. Such a sweet boy! I was wondering if he had lucked up with a squirrel yet. Never a dull moment.
