Some time ago, a friend in my office had to give up a Black Lab because his newborn is allergic to animals. So I took her in and gave Daisy a home. She was 14 Months old at the time.
Fast forward to this morning. Daisy is now 18 months old, and crazier than a sh!t house rat. This dog does donuts in the yard just because she is happy to be alive.
Well, this morning I had my 3 year old son out in the back yard playing on his swingset, and we went walking in the woods with Daisy after a while, I showed him some lizards, worms, bugs, and we even saw a garter snake, which I picked up so he could look at it. (Croc Hunter has nothing on me
). Well, My neighbors who live behind me have 2 scottish terriers, which got off their deck and came running at us yapping up a storm. Daisy was off in the woods on squirrel patrol and running like a mad dog. My son turned around and saw these 2 fur balls running at us and he screamed. Before I could pick him up and yell at the dogs, I saw this big black blur, and saw 2 grey balls go rolling down the hill. Daisy then comes full speed back up the hill to set up for another run, but instead, she plants herself between my son, and the 2 yappers. Fur along her back is standing up like a sharks tail, and her tail is tucked, ears back and teeth are showing. She has this low growl in her going like I have never heard, and let me tell you, she meant business.
The 2 yappers started back up the hill after recovering from being broadsided by an 80 lb missle. They saw Daisy standing there looking like the hound from hell, and stopped. One barked at her, and Daisy made a half charge, snapping, growling, and barking. That was enough to send the little furballs back home.
Sean then went to daisy and gave her a hug and told her she was a good doggie, and that he loved her.
So, now have another protective dog who will watch out for my son, and my house.
