[Dailydrool] Watchdogs

[Drew McQuade]

Recently I told someone who was trying to sell us a security system that our 
bassets are our security system.

I don't say that they'd attack. That's impossible! But they will greet 
anyone who comes to the door with loud barking that lasts until they're sure 
they're really here to stay. Abner even barks when they leave, as if they 
have to remain for life.

Anyone planning to rob the place would probably be intimidated by a wave of 
hounds greeting him at the door. I know this because plenty of people on the 
street step back when all three head for them. My guys look a lot more 
fearsome than they really are.

I carefully don't tell strangers that all they'd be is loved to death. After 
all, anyone who is thinking of robbing what little we have here shouldn't 
know that my biggest treasure is the three hounds before them. I don't want 
that treasure going anywhere.
