Max is a super hero! (at least to me)

[Julie and Max]

So Max, is normally a bit of a suck. He is not aggressive in the least, and he has never been protective. He doesn't even bark when someone comes to the door, or at the mailman. Really the only time he barks is if it is taking me too long to get my shoes on to go for a walk. Now I am not complaining, he's a lover not a fighter, and I like it that way. Before last night the only time he has done any kind of protective type of bark is if the coyotes were near my back fence. He did this low woof bark, which is different from his normal high pitched puppy bark. Anyhow, last night, my husband was snoring up a storm, and I wanted to whack him across the head because I couldn't sleep, it sounded like a bear was sleeping next to me. Rather than whack him across the head, which I am sure he wouldn't enjoy, I snuck into Amanda's room. (Amanda is my oldest daughter, who hasn't actually lived at home in 2 years, but we still call it her room, and have left it basically the same.) I was so happy to have no snoring, and Max jumped up with me curling up for some real restful sleep. At about three in the morning, he stands up on the bed and looks out the window, which I had open because I like it cool at night. He starts doing that low woof bark, and I am of course getting annoyed, it's three in the morning for crying out loud, I say to him, "Max don't wake the bear!" He ignores me and continues to woof, so I sit up and look out the window. I see these four teenage boys walking on the other side of the street. Suddenly two of them run to the neighbors house three doors down, and open up their min van and get in. I knew they didn't belong there. Then the other two come to MY house, and start trying to open my husbands truck, which is unlocked of course, because well, we live in a small town and don't think about it much. Now my husbands truck is a work vehicle, it's filled with all kinds of tools, a coffee holder full of toonies and loonies and apparently last night there was a $500 camera in the truck. Without thinking I yell out my upstairs window, "HEY YOU GET OUT OF MY TRUCK!" So the kids freak out, looking around for the voice that came from the sky, and run like hell. The kids in my neighbors vehicle also run like hell. At this point I'm super excited, Max and I saved the night! I called the police to let them know what happened, and I was so proud of my puppy!

Of course this morning he kind of ruined my proud high just a little bit, because I got up and he had chewed up a flip flop. Oh well, it wasn't mine, it was my husbands.

My super hero dog!

Glad to hear all ended well. I'm sure the flip flop was just an outlet for all the excitement. Or maybe it was Max's way of "punishing" your husband for leaving the protecting to him that night. Max is adorable!

Nancy, Max thinks everyday is lots of treats day. He is getting a bit fluffy and I've had to cut back but I did give him a few extras. 

Lonnie lol, my last dog you could have marched a band over her head at night and she wouldn't have cared, and I got her because my husband worked nights at the time, my cat was more of a watchdog than she was. 

Of course now that he no longer works nights I have myself a fine watchdog!

Ricki that is cute, and nobody would think of these big floppy teddy bears as guard dogs. 

Camilla I'm still saying that. :)

Thank you Christy I'm just glad it was my husband's 10$ flip flop and not my new keen sandals!
