being protective

last night my little boy woke and came into my bed, tia woke and went to give him a little lick, went back to the bottom of the bed and went back to sleep, then about 5 minutes later something had fallen inside the cupboard on the landing, she shot up jumped on my son and started growling at the door, then leaped onto me growling at the door again, i told her It's ok Tia it's not an intruder (anyone else talk to their dog like a human?) and gave her a stroke. she started to settle and finally fell back asleep 20 minutes later I thought this was so sweet of her protecting her little family

Aww, bless.

They are fantastic watch dogs! If there is a single noise outside Logan belts down the stairs to investigate. Albeit, if it was an intruder he would most likely just jump up and slobber all over him haha.

Sounds like Tia is just looking after her family, if Rocky hears a strange noise outside he will go and investigate then come back indoors and jump up onto my lap to protect me. I think it's very sweet really and it's nice to feel secure and protected.

Of Course, she is my family

Aaaww, sweet makes you feel a bit safer I suppose. I think Loki would alert me but not protect me. He'd bark to let me know what's up, then I'm on my own

If she's anything like mine she was probably just waking you up so you could go see to the intruder.
And yes I chat to Bacchus too. Were just discussing Einstein's theory of relativity........Well actually no, we were just deciding whether to go out in this godawful weather.

yes and ours talk back

I'm always chatting to Katy, i cant help it i like the facial expressions. As for the barking Katy will jump to her feet if she hears a noise near the house & start. If we are in bed she will stand astride me a bark, which i think is being protective. The only downside is if i haven't heard the noise myself, it can be a very rude awakening

No i don't talk to Cassie she's 4 legs and a fur coat silly people, arnt they silly Cassie? i don't talk to you do i?, no i don't ? lol, as for protecting us more chance of Cassie helping intruders to find their way in lol, she never barks unless her stag horn goes under the couch and she can't reach it

Lexi doesn't really look around at strange noises. She might * her ears then looks all embarrassed as if "its nothing don't be silly...its not a ghost...THERES NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Or was that me...

oooh Caley does this with us, she goes mad then jumps on me, I thought she was actually looking for ME to protect HER lol...mabe I am wrong.

Yep, talk to mine all the time. They must think I'm doolally

i talk to patch and he listens and if there is any noise by front door he is up and barking but he wud just jump nd
lick them

Chance does the same thing over me, very sweet and yes we talk to them like people

I talk to lexii all the time she's the only one who gets me lol

I always talk to steff like a human

Last week Dad was putting the bins out and walked past my bedroom window, Steff low growled, hackles came up, then flew out the bedroom door and bailed dad up in the dark laundry barking and growling It was until he told her how silly she was that she realised it was just Poppy and then she jumped all over him licking him to death

aww wbless her
