Guard Duty

Willa is quite the guard dog.  For several weeks, when we were in eastern Washington, she would bark at every noise in the middle of the night (note to oppressive regimes, a dog barking when you're trying to sleep is torture).  I finally figured out to cover the windows, like a bird cage, she now sleeps.  It wasn't sound, it was sight that she was reacting to.

But she is a guard dog.  And for a lab, she has the strangest bark.  More like a bay, like a bloodhound.  You know she is on alert...

I'm frankly glad she is protective....it means she has bonded, no taken over, the pack!

Murphy's Day.
