Dixie, thank you for hosting the always delightful Wordless Wednesday event. Click HERE to visit Dixie's blog for the other Wordless Wednesday participants.
My Grand Dog is a good Intruder Alerter, too. My heart still jumps up in my throat every time she suddenly starts barking at the door. I'm used to my cats. They hear the doorbell and they head to the basement!! This was a wonderful blogger's choice! Happy WW! Dana
Dogs are so much more fun than doorbells aren't they? My cat will occasionally deign to raise her head, but that's only if a visitor has already come in lol. Not much of an alarm system. Unless of course she spies a squirrel outside the dining room window, then she's on red alert! Cute, cute pups! Happy WW. Kathy
Your dogs are so funny. Our dog Daisy is a storm forecaster. Whenever one is approaching she runs for the lower level of the house. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Howdy Happy Wordless Wednesday to you and those adorable companions . Have a fabulous rest of the week. Blessings of joy to you all . Happy Trails Hugs
Hi Diane! I am laughing out loud! I just finished dogsitting my daughter's 6 dogs! Talk about your intruder alert! I turned on the alarm at night, but there was no real need! lol You asked about my camera...it's a Canon PowerShot SD 630. I used the digital macro, which I discovered by accident! No telling what else it does! It would help if I would read the instructions..lol!! Hope you are having a great week!...hugs...Debbie
Now girl I love this no words needed...too funny I so miss having a dog Diane...Maybe next year...Len old dog will be 17 in July so after he's gone I'll think about geting me another one...His is a pit bull YES you heard me...girl it stays out in its house because I can't ley it in mine...I don't trust him at all...Len had him since a pup and he's the only one that can handle him...I feel bad for the dog as he never gets off the chain..Len walks him each morning and evening for half hour..but he will kill other animals every time he gets loose...we never can even go away for a night and leave him alone at his age he still mean...girl he is almost blind and cripple and still will try and chase everything he can smell...Len hand feed this dog now...well girl I worte a book about Len's dog here...Hope you have a great day...is it hot in Fremont..been hot up here even on my mountain top..Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
I love their tag team effort! "I'll keep a look out and you sound the alarm!" Too funny!
You really must get to Soquel! It's a lovely little seaside town with lots of little antique stores and Capitola is just down the street where you must "do lunch" at Gayle's!
Awwwwww... look at those sweet babies being burlar alarms! You have no idea how much I miss my two. Well actually, you of all people probably understand that better than anyone.
I loved seeing this, Diane. Your babies are so cute!
Diane, don't you love our little watch dogs? Murphy and Miss Scooter both are great watch dogs. Not a lot gets past them. Thanks so much for swinging by to see the Cone Flowers. Yepper, heat index 114.. thank goodness for air conditioning... hopefully, they say by Sunday the humidity will be gone and the outside will be more fun to be in...lol... hugs ~lynne~
