Things that go woof in the night


This is Jake. We adopted Jake from the Humane Society almost 9 years ago when he was a year old. He's really been a wonderful addition to our family, and I can't imagine him not being here with us.
Jake loves to look out all of our windows here, since he can do so easily. This is evident by all the snooty marks he leaves all over them. Well, last night when Jake should have been sleeping peacfully in his bed, he was looking out windows instead. He woke us at 3:35 am with a great barking commotion. Dave, myself, and both boys flew out of bed and down the stairs to see what was happening. We looked out small windows on either side of our front door, into the front yard where Jake was looking. There in our front yard, stood three deer. They didn't seem the least bit fazed by all of Jake's antics inside the house. I will admit though, I opened the door a crack to scare them off because I feared we would'nt get any peace until they were out of sight. Needless to say, I think it was probably 4:30 am or so by the time I got back to sleep. At least I know if there was any mischief of any sort going on out there, he'd be sure to let us know. Now I need to go take a nap.

Now where was he when those kids left that old Christmas tree or pumpkin on your front step?

We weren't home when the pine tree was left. It was on our step when we returned from being out for the evening, so for all I know he was doing the same thing. With the pumpkin, we were here, and he barked at the ringing of the doorbell. We should've let him out the front door to chase the person who ran across the yard to hide behind a truck parked across the street...no maybe that wouldn't have been such a good idea.
Now Martha, don't try to destroy the faith I have in my dog to protect us from the boogyman.Haha

I'm sure Jake would protect you if there was trouble. He seems to love you very much, in a doggie sort of way.
