If you have a Golden Retriever please do not expect bravery.

This morning on our walkie we ran into the local raccoon community raiding the pizza shop dumpster. Yea they forgot to secure it with the lock and chain now it’s dark out and on our walk i shined my flashlight to see what the commotion was and yep raccoons.

And the one gave me a look sitting on dumpster eyes reflecting with beam from flashlight with I think was block of cheese the look was like it’s mine human piss off.

And my brave dog was barking at Rocky and crew as they were molesting the dumpster standing behind me as in saying will kick your asses father and me. Dunc is a furry chicken example there is two bull dogs up road now if the dogs cannot get out.

Dunc will stop and crap or pee then kick dirt as to say here you go we now own this piece real estate go on dad join in mark this territory for Dunc and dad.
And those two dogs are going ballistic at bay window just losing it mom let us out it’s that asshole golden retriever trying to takeover our turf ma let us out NOW! he just kicked dirt.

If they are out he will just stroll past them puffing up his fur and not even bark at them as they both are barking at Dunc. And road or street drains Mr.safety avoid the drains watch it father we don’t wanna fall through the openings.

My right paw is truly a piece of work.

Fur puffing. Dirt kicking. Lol. So true.

Yesterday I watched my home security system bark like mad at that axe murder mailman who comes here every day, smiles and waves at me if I’m outside. Sophie said Mom, you gave that guy cookies?! What’s the matter with you?! Good thing you have a canine protection system! That guy is mayhem like the commercial! Geez you humans are dense!

If she were confronted with a dumpster full of raccoons, though, she might seek out an assistant…..

is crashed right now. Two neighborhood kitties had the nerve I said the NERVE to bathe themselves on our porch! Oh the inhumanity!

And then that Amazon booger man stopped across the street! One of these days he’s gonna kill us all!

Happy New Year!
