Protector Extraordinaire

Yup - another day here in snowy NJ.   All this white stuff is getting pretty tiresome.

I had to have an early dinner tonight because the foster parents were having some friends over for dinner.  Well, they might be THEIR friends, but I'd surely never met them before, and suddenly, there they were, in the driveway, with their car, in the dark!  Fortunately, I was outside for my after dinner walk when I heard them drive in.  Who drives around at night in the snow and the dark - BAD people, probably!  And my foster mom was right there with me, clearly in danger.

Just like the car, nobody better mess with my people in my yard.  I tore up that driveway like a Sherman tank, woofing for all I was worth, and scared them nearly to death - I'm quite a formidable creature when I'm in a high dudgeon!  I did feel a little silly though, after I met them and realized that they're really nice dog people and they knew all about me - they even knew my name before we were introduced - imagine that!  I must be famous or something!

I'm hitting the bed early tonight - I had a really busy day exercising my leg to make it strong, checking out all the new footprints in the snow, searching for rabbit poop (naturally) and doing all the other things that I ordinarily do in the course of a day.  I'm pretty tired - and that run up the driveway really was "up" the driveway - we live on a hill.   I think I've earned a good night's rest, don't you?

I plan to dream about all the ways I'm going to take are of my new parents when I finally go to my real home later this week.   It's a big responsibility being a brindle boy Bullmastiff - I have a reputation at stake, you know!
