Perry's Mum Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Perry is guard dog for the whole street and warns everyone when any strange cars or vans enter the cul de sac, especially the parcel post van because she is convinced the delivery man is looking for an opportunity to murder us all in our beds. She is also very good at looking after the car while I go quickly into a shop. Friskie is especially good as a hand and foot warmer and makes a great hot water bottle on cold winter nights.

Poodle wrangler Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Current puppy helps wake everyone by howling in tune to my alarm. Also enjoys spreading tinsel all over house. Previous poodle caught flies in the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Nova is a brilliant hot water bottle and fuzzy foot warmer, he's currently unemployed due to the summer season With pool weather upon us he is applying for a position in "towel replacement", duties involve attempting to lick chlorinated water off peoples legs.

Akayla Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Jerry Lee is more of a blanket these days. He still lays on my stomach but is now as tall as me stetched out. He wont lay down next to me only ontop. Of course this means the winter blankets AKA Blaez insists on pushing the first blanket off and climbing on top. All the while Im drowning in fluff :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Demi the Finnish Lappund is a therapy dog that now gets borrowed by family members to go visit hospitals and nursing homes since I have become too busy to do it. The Kelpies as a collective tell me when Demi is doing something she shouldnt and run in to me then run out to bark at her. The are also the play police. All of them are USELESS with mice :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wings Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hansel is our new doorbell and also part times as a bug catcher. He also likes to help me hide my own mess by covering as many spots with his own mess (torn up toilet rolls/boxes and bits of doormat usually!)

ESCS Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Our tibbie does a great job shredding our palm fronds for us. Great little gardener! He also takes his job as watch dog very seriously ( bit too much for my liking sometimes!) . We have had burglaries on our street but our house has been safe as they probably did not want to tackle our ferocious dog!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 We have had burglaries on our street but our house has been safe as they probably did not want to tackle our ferocious dog!! It isn't so much that Tibbies are renowned for their ferociousness :D :D , but more so that everyone and anyone in the house would have been alerted. At least that's what I tell myself when I look at my very useful littlies barking madly because a bird has flown past the window. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Our tibbie does a great job shredding our palm fronds for us. Great little gardener! He also takes his job as watch dog very seriously ( bit too much for my liking sometimes!) . We have had burglaries on our street but our house has been safe as they probably did not want to tackle our ferocious dog!! My tibbie girls, Gracie & Angel, had a police record for finding a burglar. He'd broken into a few homes in the block, one night, but the tibs were the only ones to discover him as he was coming into this house. He took off & they tracked him as he jumped the fence & walked down the driveway next door. Straight under a streetlight, so I got a good description to give the police. Worried older residents of a nearby townhouse block asked the police to come & talk to them about safety. The police told them about the 'little gold dogs' that'd found the burglar & sent him off. So house-guarding is what tibbies do well, when they're not being valium on 4 legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I don't need an alarm clock, door bell or security guard as I have Stella. She also lets me know if there is a bird within kooee of our backyard. Also if she or Sonny are going to be sick during the night, she will bark to alert me so as I can let them out & sure enough. She's does a very good Dyson impersonation as well :laugh: Don't need to spray for flies as Sonny is the best fly catcher there is. He is also the kissing police. There will be no shananigans going on in 'his' house unless he is the middle :) Edited December 16, 2013 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasareina Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hunter is almost useful at getting the harnesses when we are ready to go for a car ride ... he can jump up and look at them on their little shelf very expectantly, but I can't convince him to pick it up and bring it to me :laugh: Juno is very good at licking you dry after a shower, and I think they would both have promising careers as king sized bed salesdogs ... they are pretty convincing that a queen bed isn't big enough for 2 humans and 2 staffies :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have a husky that is a great Beta tester for puppy yards. Any weakness in that fence and she can find it. She's also great at reminding you when your alarm goes off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 My current crew fanatically protect me against those evil squeakers in dog toys and will surgically remove and destroy them within seconds. Some of them are of charitable bent and go on to carefully dissect and distribute the stuffing so it is available for nesting birds. This is extremely charitable of them, as nesting birds do not often enter my home. They fancy themselves as garbage disposals and inhale any food scraps they may find on any surface, but are not vaccums (see nesting bird comment above). Cheddar my foster failure does a fantastic job of teaching new fosters how a well-socialised dog behaves. He will play like mad with dogs who want to play, give reactive dogs their space and is incredibly gentle when an anxious dog is in panic mode. For over the top teenage types he firmly draws a line when they go too far. He never guesses wrong (mind you I don't give him many chances to be wrong, most of his intros have a pen fence in the way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Grand Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Riley's just done a very good job of alerting me that someone was whipper snippering in the yard by barking the entire time it was going. Given that I was the someone doing the whipper snippering, I probably would have figured it out anyway but luckily he was here just in case...
