Sadie sleeps in the living room at night. I can hear her walk up and down the hall sometimes (we have hardwood floors and Im a light sleeper) and it reminds me of a soldier standing watch or something! When someone knocks on the door, her ears perk up and she trots right over to the door waiting for someone to open it so she can investigate the visitor (normally by jumping up on them demanding a "Hello" from them. Something I have to teach her not to do, somehow). What I like to think is that Sadie is my alarm system. She isnt going to take down anyone but she is going to let us know that something is going on that we need to pay attention to! Thats more reliable than HOPING your big dog would attack someone if they broke in. Atleast I KNOW Sadie will bark and raise hell at them first to let us know something is going on. |
