Good Dog!

At 3:30 this morning, our dog Kelso came running into the bedroom.  He "yapped" a few times, and then began tugging on Ross's hand. It was clear that he wanted Ross to get up and follow him. 

He led Ross to the window in the living room.  Sure enough, someone was standing by the front door!  Kelso barked.  Ross got his robe on. The man left our yard and started walking down the street. A few seconds later, the police arrived.

I found out this morning that our neighbors, George and Ashley, had seen this guy looking in the window of our friend Don's house across the street and had called the police. Apparently unable to get into Don's house, the man had then tried ours.

Of course, the next door neighbors and the police are the true heroes of this story (thank you!), but we were quite pleased to discover that Kelso IS a good watch dog.   I was a bit worried that if we ever had an intruder, Kelso would greet them happily, inviting them to come in and play.  I should have known better!

Kelso was rewarded with treats and a nice long visit to the Dog Park.  Good Boy!
