Seriously, there are so many options to choose from, but I have learned that not all of the options are right for my dog. Those are not the things that I want her chewing on, but when I go shopping for an alternative, it can be hard to find something that is actually any better for her. I started to realize this when she chewed a few chunks out of my drywall, as well as when she ripped the fabric from an arm of my favorite chair, and most recently when she ripped a giant hole out of my living room carpet. That scenario reminds me that I always need to have identification on my dogs, and it also reminds me that every dog has its own set of quirks, some more tolerable than others. Mugsy could have bit someone walking by, and if Mojo didn’t stumble upon some food, he would have run away for sure, no doubt looking for another source of food. While Mojo was munching on day-old bread, Mugsy can be seen on camera pacing the perimeter of my property, barking at anyone that came near and making sure they didn’t get too close.Īlthough watching the video makes me giggle, things could have been much worse. Mugsy, on the other hand, was just clocking into work. This allowed for my two dogs to head outside and be videotaped on our surveillance cameras, so there is no wonder about what happened while we were gone we were able to watch the whole thing.Īt the time, I had an older beagle named Mojo, and he decided to use his newfound freedom to scour the yard for the loaf of bread that I had spread out that morning for the birds. I know I can trust him because when leaving the house one morning, while getting used to a new garage door, I must have hit the wrong button and left the overhead door open. Keep in mind that we didn’t train Mugsy to be a guard dog, he just kind of took it upon himself to protect and serve my family for all of his days. Sometimes, that bad guy is just the mailman, but I know that if he was a burglar, Mugsy would handle things exceptionally well.

Mugsy, my older dog, is an amazing guard dog who deserves to live the life of luxury he is currently enjoying due to his many years of service fighting off bad guys. Daisy is very friendly, and I know that if she had the opportunity to explore the neighborhood, she would take it. I love both of my dogs very much and would never want to part with either of them.
