Guard The Dog Duty

Guard Callie at your service!  Sadly one of my canine companions is not very well, FH has firmly instructed me that it is now my duty to guard him rather than the other way around.  Normally the canines keep watch over us and the ranch by snoozing away in the garden and greeting any intruders.  It seems that our Big Dog friend is hanging up his guarding cap and is making the most of snoozing in the autumn sun in his retirement (the Big Dog is always the best indicator of the weather - where the sun shines he will be).

So as the Senior Guard in the family I have taken my duties seriously and taken up residence at the fence line watching over my kingdom, me and the Big Dog have had a little chat about tactics such as sniffing the breeze for the latest goings on, using our radar ears to hear the local gossip and of course he's told me it's fine to soak up the sun whilst on guard duty!  He also said that the job description allows snoozing on duty and a bit of eating, he seemed less than impressed by my 'Chuckle Greeting'... this is the muley version of a hello, apparently this is not to the Big Dog's liking..... well every girl has to put her own personality in to a job :-)


So I shadowed the Big Dog for a while to ensure that I was up to the job - ears on full alert!

I also checked out my Junior Guard Dog, the Pocket Sized Labrador (who has since been creating havoc on the job and raiding the bins at the office) - I wouldn't like to have his Performance Review with FH when she gets home.... 

Finally after a hard days work it I just couldn't help following the Big Dog's instructions that it's ok to sleep on the job.... my ears just felt kinda droopy..... I think I'm going to enjoy this Guard Mule job, I will do it to the best of my muley ability and make the Big Dog proud!

The Big Dog has also decided that snoozing in retirement is allowed too....
