Our Fearless Protector

This is how Lacey starts...

Then she 'bravely' does the 'half in, half out' move.

As soon as the threat moves away, then she proves
her courage by confronting the danger full body!!!

This is what has Lacey in such a frenzy.

We called it 'the tiger', just so Lacey would feel
valued and needed.

Lacey is a pathetic dog. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE this dog - she has brought us more joy and fun than I can even express. But she is a whoosy dog!!! In fact, Del now has a string of 'P' words he calls her...pathetic, pampered, pansy, pudgy, poopy pooch!! There are a few other words, but I just can't remember them right now...
She is a 'city' dog - inside the house with all the luxuries of life, verses being outside in the weather, yucky food and sleeping conditions of a farm dog. And she has Del trained pretty well. He takes her every morning for a walk, except Sundays. And then every evening, when he comes home, she runs to the door with her blanket in tow, wanting him to tug her around and pull her on her belly. It's quite a sight. He barely has time to put his computer down, give any human a hug before she is whimpering at him for attention. It's hilarious.
So when she does this 'scarety cat' thing, where she pretends to stalk our neighbors cat, he just laughs like she is worthless.
He loves her, I know he does. It's obvious as he roughs up her head when he pets her and chases her in the house calling her a dumb dog and let's her sleep alongside his leg while he watches t.v.
My two protectors...one just lets the other one do all the work.
