5 am visitor - Proud of my dog!

[JP135]

5am this morning everything was quiet and we were all asleep. Jake, my Greenville Dog Pound $7 Blue Heeler exploded and was going crazy with the "I'm not bullshitting, this is serious" bark. I know this bark and Jake doesn't play games at 5am.

I jumped out of bed and ran to the front door. I stopped to get my shotgun and my Streamlight and was headed for the front door.

At the same time, my wife looked out a front window and saw somebody run between the driveway and the house, headed for the road we live on. "Somebody just ran from our yard into the road. I think he went west on foot". I get out as fast as I can (limited by being barefoot) I checked but never found the guy. No evidence that he tried to enter the house or any of the vehicles.

While I was looking, my wife got the sheriff's office on the way.

The thing that impressed me the most is this: After sounding the alarm and seeing that my wife and I had things handled, Jake went into my daughter's room, got on the bed, sat on her and stayed there watching bedroom door until we called him away. NOBODY was gonna lay a finger on that child. I love that dog.

Cool story. I have been thinking about getting a dog since its just me now.

Awesome. A good dog is better than a good security alarm in many cases.

Extra treats for the pup today?

We have two boxers and they are very good at letting us know what is going on. If they hear the slightest noise they are up and on point. Heck, some asswipe is popping of fireworks and my little girl (1 year old boxer) has the hair on the back of her neck standing up and she is extremely focused right now.

I have had a handful of people over to the house and my male boxer sits on the corner of our bed and just watches and waits to make sure everyone behaves.

I've got an Australian Kelpie-Blue Heeler mix and after owning her I will never have any dog but heeler or heeler mix. By far the best all around dogs out there. Granted I don't think she would hurt a fly, but sure sounds mean as hell when someone is anywhere near the door or she hears something out of place.

With or without the phone, a pistol and a look on her face that lets you know she'd kill a M/F she thinks is dangerous without thinking twice?

In my house if I say, " I'm gona get your mama" or make any playful, but threatening moves toward my wife I'm met with a 120lb lab that goes straight for the throat. He normally backs me into a corner and it takes everything I have to get him off me. If someone broke into my house and I was the only one home he probably wouldn't even lift his head, but if my wife is around that dog is constantly on WWIII patrol. He will try to brake down the front door to get at a door to door salesman.
