02:30 my chocolate Knucklehead is barking out the window

[TEB]

Reason the regional police had a DUI checkpoint set up as we live by a crossroads and travel to and from several pubs is a common. And mr nose problems decided to come into our bedroom and look out the window to investigate. To get a good view and start reporting on the checkpoint activities.

Woof woof lady and man there is people in front of the house as we lay in bed with flashing lights on their car pack mobiles. Then boog went into high gear growling as I turn on lamp hackles are up paws on windowsill . Man looks out window and sees what has boog worked up it is a police dog a K-9 with a actual job.

I put him in bed with us then around 04:30. I am being nudged with a chocolate muzzle man I have to use the yard. So dude and man been up greeting the new decade.

1. Nice to see Boog has such a devoted human servant!

Got a cat that wakes me up at the crack of dawn for feeding or being let out the house, so I know how hard this form of servitude is!

[TEB]

2. We do serve at their pleasure

[Ohiogal]

3. Boog is your protector

Nothing gets mine worked up like seeing the dog next door as well. My sister’s dog pulled down the curtains off a curtain rod barking at another dog once.

5. Crazy dogs

4. I took my dogs to Ohio State Vet School for advanced vet care needs

To get to the school, we had to drive past the football stadium, one Friday am, Angel Princess Peanut & I passed the bomb search dogs & their handlers lining up in the parking lot. Officers drinking coffee, dogs stretching, Peanut leaned out of the back driver side window started barking insults at the 3 dogs, with enthusiasm; one dog cracked, barked back at her, the cops & I laughed, none of them were really on duty yet, but Peanut looked smug all the vet hospital.

Dogs being dogs. 🐕

10. My dog preemptively barks to make sure no one comes near.

He loves to sit on the couch in the living room, looking at the road and the neighbors' houses. When my husband or me sits next to him, he raises up his head, looks out the window and growls low in his chest s few times. He's warning "them" not to come out where they are anywhere near our yard and his mom. or dad. When he goes outside in the back yard and there are no neighbors or neighbor dogs out, he will still look at each house and bark once or twice in warning. Then he frisks back to me like he is so proud of keeping everyone away. Silly Aussie Shepherd, I love him to death.

Yesterday was his one year anniversary of being our dog. We are blessed with his sweet funny spirit and so loving nature. He is definitely a caretaker dog, even breaks up fights between the 2 cats trying to establish dominance since the matriarch passed a few weeks ago.

[paleotn]

13. Yep, preemptive barking...just in case.

[lark]

15. The funniest part is how proud of himself he is.

After doing this he always frisks back to me, nosing me and wanting acknowledgement that he is indeed a very good dog. Of course I tell him what a wonderful job he's doing while I'm giving him rubs behind his ears.

[TEB]

27. He is just nosy

[marble falls]

12. That dog is on the case and working his job just like the K-9 ...

btw: hows the book coming?

14. I used to have a chocolate lab.

I think "knucklehead" is in their gene pool.

[TEB]

16. Yes absolutely

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. I am sorry but this is the most comical story ever! Especially

This year! Been awake for 15 min in 2020

[TEB]

23. The dog is truly a original he's a piece of work

Big heart and knucklehead for DNA I love him. At this moment he is assisting my wife with dinner prep. If he was human he’d be John belushi animal house character.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Lol. How does he help with dinner? I have trained by dog

To pick up his strewn toys and drop them into a basket. Then he gets a treat. But critical error on my part...he only does it when I can see him doing it. Duh. Silly of me to think he thinks, " jeez this place is a mess, think I'll clean up while my mom is in the other room". Also, he gets nothing if all toys are in the basket...so he takes them out just so he can be rewarded for putting them back.

[TEB]

25. He is a shrewd boy

Your puppers that’s funny he is smart to clean up for treat. To take his toys out of his basket what kind of pup is he.

Our boy just sits in kitchen trying to make himself available see I’m here usually drool puddles

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. 1/2 lab 1/2 golden. Is yours a lab? I got mine at the shelter

Only to find out that people are breeding this kind as a designer dog for big $$. Supposed to have the best traits of each breed

I think it's funny that the roadblock is in front of your house. That might be entertaining in New year's Eve. Do they put it there a lot?

[TEB]

36. He was free

As for dui road block it is very far few between

[MLAA]

18. Happy new year!

[TEB]

26. Happy new year friend

[democrank]

I wish you the best and look forward to reading your wonderful stories in 2020.

[TEB]

22. Happy new year to you and family

[world wide wally]

20. I have two border collie/cattle dogs Andy bark maniacally when someone stops in front of our house.

It sounds like a kennel with about 10 dogs.
Other than that, they are perfect little ladies.

[AJT]

28. Happy New Year Boog and family.

[TEB]

29. Happy new year

To you and family

[OregonBlue]

30. I now live directly across the street from a dog park that my three rat terriers believe is their

Own private play space. It is non-stop barking and running along the fence morning til night. My neighbors hate us. Fortunately we are moving to the country in the spring.

[TEB]

33. That is funny

The terriers are like what are you doing in our park.

[get the red out]

31. I hear ya!

Layla and Shelby kept waking me up barking about the noisy, sporadic neighborhood fireworks.

Love 💕 the Boog! I can imagine those big brown Labrador paws at the window as he sounds the alert.

[TEB]

32. Layla and Shelby

They were on a mission no time to sleep mom it’s a crisis

[Yavin4]

34. Maybe Boog wants to be a Police dog?

Dare to dream Boog.

[HeiressofBickworth]

37. Our barker

Sits on the back of the sofa at the front window. Barks at any one or any thing that passes in front of the house. He really loses his shit at Amazon,FedEx, UPS, Mail trucks. If someone come to the door, he barks so hard he gets a ridge along his spine. I call it his rage ridge. He's actually pretty good except for the barking. He's a chiweeni. Part chichua and part doxie. Both barking breeds. But when fireworks went off New Year, he made a beeline for my room and hid under the bed. What a woos after all.
