Thread: Funny how the dog's hearing improves!!

Half the time, the dog doesn't even hear the doorbell ring anymore! Kind of sad seeing him age.

However, Mr. Bananas goes to the annual Synod Convention. Why pack the night before when you can turn the lights on and do it while wife and dog are still sleeping in bed? hee hee hee He heads off this morning. Dog knows what it means when he sees the garment and cosmetic bags go out the door.

Now the doorbell rings, same as always. The dog went ballistic and he usually would dash to the door for Rev. Bananas and bark his head off. With the Rev. gone, he barks and barks and sinks his teeth on my shoes. (This is the cattle dog in him. He does not apply pressure to hurt, but he does try to keep my foot from going to the door. Step by step, shoe by shoe, bark by bark.

Man at the door has several cartons of steaks at $2-$3 a steak to sell. Has several left, and he noticed that we had 2-3 grills. Of course we have that many grills. Hubby keeps a back up for the back up; spare parts or he might just fix one. LOL Man looks at the 20 pound wonder who knows that mighty Alpha Dog is out-of-town. He keeps asking if the dog will bite him or is people friendly.

Stupid man, he should have asked if the dog would have grabbed a steak or two!!

This man was not about to take no for an answer when I kept saying that I was not interested. He asked if hubby was home (WHY IN THE WORLD DO THEY DO THAT!). I do not want the steaks. They are not all that tasty. My door is locked, and hubby will get a talking to about not buying more steaks. He did once in the past, and we were not impressed.

Blue heelers/fox terriers sure are territorial, and it comes in handy at times. :-)
