At Ease

Not too many people know this, but the basset hound is a highly-skilled watch/guard dog. Why, just this morning, I heard some folks outside while they were still on the sidewalk. Of course I let my Ma know this by barking incessantly. I guess my bark scared them off, because they knocked hurriedly and didn't even leave a Watchtower for me to read.

For being such a good watch dog, I'm taking a little nippy nap. But I still sleep with one eye open.
