Pug Emergency Broadcast System

I hadn't been up long this morning when I heard Sollie barking furiously in the hall. It was his "Danger! Danger!" bark so I went in to see what strange creature had gotten into the house.....and when I saw what was causing all the uproar I fell over laughing.

See, yesterday I put a big Mario Kart wall picture on WildChild's door. It's basically this big wall sticker of Mario jumping into the kart...which apparently Sollie hadn't noticed until he came around the corner this morning in the semi-darkness. And he was scared to death of it. Took me forever to get him to come close enough to smell it & realize it wasn't real...and out to get him. Every time he would get almost close enough to touch it, he'd jump back behind my legs which would get me started laughing all over again. Even after Sassy & the kitten came up, smelled it & looked at him like 'what the hell is wrong with you', he was still unconvinced that Mario wasn't out to get him.

Finally I just grabbed him and stuck his nose to it. Then he was all like, yeah I knew it wasn't real and this was just a test of the Pug Emergency Broadcast System. Had this been a real Pug Emergency, he would still be hiding behind me.

Silly Sollie.

My dog is very old and is experiencing everything that stage of life brings, but she is still my ardent protector and to make up for not being able to move, see or hear, she gives everything the emergency broadcast (I just bumped my coffee cup on the desk and got one).

That's the way he is, barks at every little noise. Which would make a great alarm system if you could ever shut it off....well that & all the false alerts.

And I'm not too sure who is protecting whom sometimes. :-)
