Good morning. Here's a wholesome meme to start your day!
@Miriamm the Ghandi approach. You'll never be robbed because you're too well loved.
@Miriamm Haha, yep, definitely the wrong breed for guard dog duties. I have no doubt our huskamute would personally guide any potential intruder to the kitchen and offer them a snack (while expecting to get one for himself too, of course) :)
@Miriamm I see we have the same dog ๐Ÿถ
@Miriamm itโ€™s still a good boy/girl.

@Miriamm No photos, but here is the story of the first Rottweiler I ever met:

My mother took me up to her friend's house while they socialized. The friend's boyfriend was an animal trainer. He had a bunch of dogs in kennels. One of them was the *biggest* dobie I'd ever seen! I let him sniff my fingers through the chain, and he was super friendly and licky and wonderful. Then I had to go back in...

and he nearly tore the kennel apart trying to get back to me.

His name was Cy.

@Miriamm I figured that if he were a guard dog, anyone would be able to get in... but if the tried to leave he'd tackle them and sit on them and lick their face until they stopped struggling and went back to petting him.

I've loved rotties ever since.

@Miriamm

You should have known a cuddle bear would attract friends, not scare people. ๐Ÿค—

@Miriamm new might not stop the burglary but the police would just have to track down a man totally covered in hair and drool, whose ears are still ringing.. ๐Ÿ•

@Miriamm

that was fun, but now I need to read my novel. Happy to have you on Mastodon. Best wishes.
