Watchdog

One of the wonderful traits of Canaan Dogs is that they make excellent watchdogs. They are willing (and eager) to alert you to anything that they perceive as being out-of-the-ordinary. And they have the intelligence to spot things as being out of order that even you don't recognize as being amiss. Saga excels at this job.

She perches on the back of the chair by the window, like a cat (or like Snoopy pretending to be a vulture) and keeps an eye out of the window looking for the nefarious evildoers.

Villains of world, beware! Saga is on the chair! She will see you, you villainous little squirrels; she sees you, you evil milkman (yes, one of my neighbors gets their milk delivered); she sees you you rotten little paper-boy. And she knows you're all up to no-good. You can't get away with it!

Give it up and repent your wicked ways or she'll tell Daddy exactly what you're up to! You've Been Warned! The watchdog is on the case. (Oh! She sounds like a superhero: The Watchdog... I'll have to go out and buy her a mask and a cape!)

Wherever you are today, I hope that you're well protected and having a great day!
