Corky the Yorkie saves the day!
My husband, Corky and I just moved to London a few weeks ago and are still getting settled, unpacking and fixing up the place. I was working on my computer and also watching the television when Corky, always the silent type, started barking. I was shocked because he won't even bark at the sound of the doorbell. "What do you want?" I asked him. He wouldn't move by his spot in the hallway. "Come here, honey!" No way. I had to get up from my seat in the living room and go to him where he stood (all 8 inches of height). He was standing in front of our kitchen barking and showing me that the sound I'd thought was a shower running from the flat upstairs was actually a massive Niagra Falls leak through the ceiling of our kitchen! I couldn't believe it. If it weren't for Corky, I would have stayed in the living room for hours more until bedtime. As it was we caught the leak no more than 10 minutes after it started and before the ceiling got wet enough to cave in!! My furry, fuzzy hero! He earned his dog treats for a year. |
