Excellent Dog-Alarm behavior

#1 Post by ghostjmf » Mon Oct 20, 2008 2:30 am

In that he did not go off when I drove up at 4:00am, about 4 hours later than originally intended. Either he psychically sensed it was me (he wouldn't recognize car, a 2-day rental I've mostly been away with) or he knows most middle-of-night pull-ups are my sister coming back from a grocery trip (which in a way is not good, some day if it was not me or her).

The foster-dog-alarm didn't go off either; either she's back with her real family for a visit (usually they're saying "can you take her back" after about 2 hours these days) or just sleeping soundly. I'm not going to stick my hand in her very large crate & tempt fate.

That is a Most Excellent doggie, to help out the family like that.

I wish we could get behavior like that at our house, at least where SteelersFan and I are concerned. If one of us comes home at an unexpected time, she raises the roof. OTOH, as Ghost says for the other way, that's probably good.

If we arrive home at the same time, there is no roof raising no matter what time it is.
