UNGRATEFUL

"So far this week my barking has saved my family from never-ending knocks on the door from sales people. Sixteen ran away because mommy says my bark sounds like the roar of a lion. Also 10 delivery people jumped over the fence, along with 8 mail carriers, 7 Girl Scouts and one sketchy looking plastic bag…and yet they still remain ungrateful and tell me to shush. So rude!”

Thanks for looking and 
I hope no one tells you to 'shush'.
You can always chase them over the fence.

  6. LOL, Love this. It could have been written by Gibbs because I'm always telling him to shush. He often barks at things like sketchy looking plastic bags too.

  14. We often try to remember to say thank you (to our crazy grand pup) for all the times she has saved our lives from intruding squirrels, pesky birds that dare to cross past the fence and those crazy skinks for which she has risked live and limb to keep away from the back door!!

  16. Ha! Where we live now, a little barking dog would only be busy with deer, turkeys, quail and such. It's very rare for anyone to ring the doorbell except our grandchildren. :)
