Perimeter BREACH!!!

I'm a very ALERT mini schnauzer - nuthin' gets past me when it comes to my place and my yard. My alarm is VERY loud - mum calls it my "big girl voice" and I really go to town on anything that is "non- authorised" around me.

Take the following for example. I detect an intruder and his big white van on the top level of my property. Therefore, I go BALLISTIC with my "big girl voice" and get dad to check on what the heck is going on.

Now..... wouldn't you go BALLISTIC if you saw this out your Parents' bedroom window???? It was my duty! Ma said he even has a "plumbers crack".... whatever that is??!!

Hmmm - very suspicious indeed. My pa went out and conferred with the man in the bright top.

Ha - here he is going backwards and forwards to his van gettin' stuff, and then fiddling with our water meter in the bushes.

All this surveillance is good on the comfy mink blanket. Apparently the man is from the water company and they are switchin' over our meter - he called it "preventative maintenance". In that case, you are authorised by me, the mini schnauzer, to go about your business - but do it and GO!

Note I take my surveillance seriously - never taking my eyes off the intruder!  And not even givin' you guys a sweet smile for the blog. I was busy. Next time I promise.

Ohhh - before I forget - don't forget to check out the Third Annual Bandana Day over at The Portuguese Water Blog...... I'm there in my green. But I'm not from South Africa, I'm from South Australia (a small typo I'm sure).

WHO are YOU????

First thing this morn, I went outside to do my perimeter fence check...... and what do I find!!!!! A BIG FAT SECURITY BREACH!!!       INTRUDER!!!!!

Dad came out to see what I found in the backyard. 

Mum decided to make a sign and hang it on our fence. She and dad thought the real pawrents might be worried and touring around the neighbourhood looking for my intruder.

Mum checked the intruder and said she is not a stray - but in tip top condition - obviously very good at jumping fences because she jumped ours..... and that's pretty high!

Mum gave us both a dried beef tendon to chew on..... my intruder really enjoyed that!

She was drinkin' outa my outside bowl.....

Lyin' around on my concrete....

Makin' herself comfy wumfy on MY outside doggie bed - while gettin' pats from MY mum!

The intruder is lookin' mighty pleased with herself (selectin' MY place)!

She's even suckin' up the pats from MY dad!!

(Puppy put-out) I won't even tell you the story of dad taking HER for a walk to see if she leads herself to her own place. Grrrrr - I didn't get to go!

The intruder lookin' all regal and gorgeous! She has GOT TO GO!! See that she has one dark eye and one light eye! Pretty!

I also had to put up with her wanting to play "top-dog" with me and growlin' at me and donking me on the head with her paw.....owwww! I was eventually forced to get away from her by goin' under the outside table and chairs. She couldn't donk me on the head from there! He he he..

Lucky for me mum's sign worked. Within 5 hours we had a young woman knock at the door, and said her partner's dog is our intruder. He only got her yesterday and today they worked out that she is a very good jumper!! They were very grateful to have her back safe and sound. The intruder turned out to be a Siberian Husky!

If you ask me, the intruder was gettin' FAR too comfortable in MY place - at least she is home now and I don't have to endure her paws on my head anymore!
