I am not a happy dog this morning. The strangers are back in our house and they are making lots of noises again. They have been here since last Wednesday, it started with the two guys in the front making tons of noises, then, horrors, now two are in the kitchen where noises are coming from.

I have been barking non-stop since Wednesday, except for Sunday when we didn't have any strangers or noises, so this is my Monday Mischief. I bark, and bark, and bark, and nothing works! I am so frustrated! Why is no one taking me seriously? I'll be out in MY backyard and they just walk right through MY gate and into MY back door! I even go after them barking, I have to protect the Lady that I rescued, and they just ignore me! Sometimes they even try to pet me!

Well, sometimes I do get used to the strangers, they aren't bad all the time, but its the noises that are the worst. Every bump, bang, whatever, I start to bark. The worst day was Friday with dad home. At least I thought he was home. But he went out the door to the kitchen where the strangers and noises were and was gone a long time! I was so worried that they were hurting him! I guarded the door until he came home safely!
To make me feel better, my family went to dinner and I got to go! It helped me to recover from all of the stress from the week!
By Saturday I was getting lots more used to the strangers! Look at how brave I am, I just run right by them to mom!
But after a nice quiet day on Sunday, I am very unhappy that they are all back. I have been barking pretty much non-stop all morning. The Lady I rescued it not very happy with me. Especially after I have been quiet for awhile and just jump up and bark real loud. What?
Love, Dolly the Doxie (mix)

Don't forget! July 1st DollytheDoxie.com!
Dolly - I know how you feel - we had renovations a few years ago and Becca our dog back then had the same frustrations! She was lucky though because the strangers would play fetch with her.
ReplyDeleteWell they never got THAT friendly! Love Dolly
DeleteThe nerve of those strangers Dolly! And it looks like they banged up your house pretty good too...
ReplyDeleteWell, it was already that way, which is why they're here, I guess. Love Dolly
DeleteYou keep after them, It's your job, they are messing with YOUR stuffs!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
I did and it worked, they're gone! Love Dolly
DeleteLOL barking is your job. We have builders next door and I bark at them and I bark at the noises too and likewise our peeps is not happy either. At least you got to out to dinner dolly that is more than I got. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Thanks Molly! I don't think those peeps understand us at all sometimes! Love Dolly
DeleteYou just go right on telling them people that they are not supposed to be in YOUR house. You are after all the resident watch dog right ???
ReplyDeleteYou betcha guys! Love Dolly
DeleteRooo Dolly, you have a big job at paw there - I do hope you get some extra treats for all your hard work! *Waggy tail*
ReplyDeleteTreats? I'm s'pose to be getting treats for this? Where's my manager? Love Dolly
DeleteWell, maybe the strangers are building something pawsome for you Dolly...like a special throne bed or something...Tell your momz you will stop barking if they do :)
ReplyDeleteI wish! All I got was kitchen tile and a plastered/painted stairway! Bummer! Love Dolly
DeleteMy Pops is one of those strangers in someone else's house and he says he always brings treats for the dogs in the houses he visits. Abe you can tell your dangers to bring you treats too! Then it wouldn't be so bad!!
ReplyDeleteNah they didn't bring treats but they were kinda nice after all. Love Dolly
DeleteI don't blame you Dolly I don't like noise either! They come near me, I scratch good, then run under bed...but, that no help! Sometimes we just have to wait until they go home and stay there...dang old noise makers!!!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Kitty
Yep sure wish I coulda fit under the bed! Love Dolly
DeleteI bark so much that Mom calls me "Bob Barker" it is particularly insulting when strangers come into our homes and ignore our barks, isn't it? Barks and licks and love, Dakota
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one! I barely barked my first year so mom thinks I am trying to make up for it! Love Dolly
DeleteDolly, I can't believe the Lady would be unhappy with you for providing such a valuable service! When we have invited guests The Mom puts me on my leash and steps on it so I don't jump and make a fuss, until I settle down - but when they're unexpected, I growl and bark like a fiend!
ReplyDeleteFinn
Glad to know I'm not the only dog put on a leash in the house! Love Dolly
DeleteDolly, you are an EXCELLENT guard dog! It seems those men are there to destroy and then rebuild your house, which is strange and thus requires a LOT of barking. Keep up the great work!

DeleteYou are such a brave dog, Dolly. Hopefully those loud strangers will clean up their mess and leave soon.
ReplyDeleteThey are gone! Happy dance! Love Dolly
DeleteDolly, we hope the strangers making all that noise will be gone soon. You look like you were snoopervising the work. Thanks for sharing the photos. Have a great weekend.
