Crazy out of their furbutt minds, number UNO is without a doubt the mailman.
It doesn't help that the idiot (all of them) cross right under our front window across our front lawn to go to the house next door. All of the different ones have done it! And it is not supposed to be according to Canada Post. Next time I am home; I will run out the side door and speak to the man. Saying look I didn't come out the front door for a rreason. I know you know we have big dogs, but did you know that dog with reason enough could go through the plate glass window
And summer is coming - I want to open my windows - hey what chance do you give a screen? Stay off my front lawn one or two feet at most from the front windows and doors.
Next they do go ballistic for many of our toy games, and of course the water. It can get wearing at times - as they do bark to show their enthusiasnm - quite different bark to the defense one - but hey it is annoying too after 3 or so hours.
Dogs real ones barking on TV - Oh dear me .... We have faces pushed into the TV and they don't get that they don't smell a real dog but actually hear one.
The timer going off on the stove! For Magic that is ambrosia - FOOD is coming OUT - Divine Food - Succulent Meaty smells - People Food! ---- Mommy almost always gives me some. I guarded this food over the WHOLE afternoon ---- I must I must I must have SOME! Now you need to understand my big boy does NOT like heat - he finds the coolest place in the house to lay, Except when Mom's is Cooking!. Then he is no more than 12 inches away from the oven..... Good Grief
Unfortunately for us and Magic -- once he got the smell of bear --- this is his most serious reaction. I can barely keep him under control. He abhors that smell. It only of course happens when we are camping - and unfortunately when he was a pup barely 18mths old, a bear came investigating our campsites. That is the campsites in our area. We had a beautifull fire going, lovely moon, and then whamoo bamoo - we heard tins rattling. Magic goes into guard stance - and it seems the next breath he is lunging barely a pause from his full throated serious guard bark and he is LUNGING. Pulls me clear out of my chair - I am on my back on the ground - Dave is up banging pans like crazy!! Magic PULLS me along the Ground towards the bear. This is against a double collar and leads. The bear left - but it came way to close for Magic's liking. thank God we did not have Razzle then.
