My little faithful guard dog is still sitting at the big front living room window up on my sewing basket with the tufted top, watching at full attention, his ears as pricked and his gaze as intent as it was 2 hours ago, guarding the house! We were in bed, Tibbe sounds asleep, when he heard something and tore off the bed, down the hall and into the living room, standing up with his paws on the bottom edge of the almost floor-length window, barking crazily at whatever was out there - probably a cat. I brought my sewing basket to the window which has an unused pincushion top and he jumped up on it, sitting like a little stone statue on it. He has been watching out that window now from the sewing basket, erect as a soldier, for over 2 hours. Occasionally he growls or even barks a bit when he catches sight of or hears something. Apparently he heard the neighbor's cat when she let it out when this all started - and it may still be coming into the yard from time to time, I don't know. I heard no meowing or anything and I can't see anything when I look out, but Tibbe still waits and watches. I wonder how long he will watch out that window. I'm waiting too, huddled under an afghan on the den couch, watching some late, late, late TV, until the mission is over and we can go to bed. God bless my little 24/7 Security Guard - he's always on duty, keeping us safe!
