<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all. Edison's been getting a little
protective of the house lately. I don't do much to discourage this because
two guys were in our yard on a Saturday afternoon. Last night, Edison
barked and woke us up three times. This morning, I noticed that the inside
door knob was coming loose. They had pried our security door open and were
working on the inside door. The scary part wasn't the barking. It
was the growling that came afterwards; a clear indication that it would be
better for me not to get out of bed. The door's being repaired as I write
this. I couldn't calm down for much of the morning. If I were a
burglar, I'd think twice against a growling dog. He's a sweet little lab,
but he sounds tough. This morning, Velvet and I were approached by a
street person wanting to fix a ding in the car. I guess Edison gave him a
look, because he suddenly left us alone. The change in the weather has
made things less safe around here. Bye for now. Me, V and E.
