22. We have that door mat.

Our doggie, passed away at age 12, and she would bark the sound of her people. She was a short legged dachshund, American Bulldog, Jack Russel, with 5% or less of American Pit bull mix and she scared everyone away from the front door. She had a chest of big dog, and sounded like a 60 lb dog was behind the door. I always thought that she was a Straffordshire Bull Terrier, (did a dna test) and found out she was so much more. I was never afraid to answer the door. Once, when she was in failing health, and didn't hear the door knock, a young man asked if he could hear the song of my people. I said, "No, not now, she is sleeping." I miss her.
