One time, when we were gone, and our lawyer friend, who was living with us, was down the hill building a masterpiece small barn for me.... a woman I knew slightly from dog showing and had Mastiffs, but had never been out here, came out with a man friend, and not only came through the big gate but then through the gate to back yard where there were five Mastiffs, three of them working personal protection dogs. Jeff, our friend heard a small commotion and started up the hill. The closer he got up the hill, and couple kept moving towards him the closer the five dogs closed in on them. Dogs were savy and trained well enough to use discretion, judge situation, and maintain safe distance. And the EM breed is known for using a lot of discretion anyway. They normally "ask questions" before biting whereas a lot of breeds bite first without judging situation properly. But my dogs would not have put themselves between strangers and their humans until given a release. As soon as Jeff saw people he yelled at them to stop. Don't come any closer. Dogs stayed their ground and when he got up the hill he greated woman, who he knew, and calmly lead the dogs into house. Of course they were all at big window keeping close watch. This was close to a half ton of canine power with bite strength ranked up with some wild large mammals. They can snap an arm bone with one bite. (Luckily they are not rippers and tearers but rather holders. And although they have great strengh to knock down and hold and Massive teeth their teeth are not razor sharp like some breeds.) After the dogs were in the house Jeff quietly laid into woman. He didn't want to be as animated as he wanted to be fearing the dogs would come through the window.

Later, at a dog show, the woman confronted me about how "rude" Jeff had been. I asked her if she understood why. Her reply was, "But your dogs "know" me from dog shows." I didn't waste any time trying to explain.

Isn't it amazing how so-called "dog people" can still be so ignorant about their nature?
Good job keeping your tongue, Alice.:)

Heya Sonny. Saw you got a new phone. Did storms hit you hard. We had some pretty high winds in front of front that came through around 0300. I was in spa and gust were playing hell with open umbrella over psrt of spa. Cut my massage short (only an hour) as I was afraid it was going to work loose from mount and go flying. Then the major storm hit a couple hours ago. Shocked we didn't lose electric. Sun peaking out a bit. Few next days nights in low 40s. That kills my all night working on pool in shorts and tee shirt. Had to stop at a certain point and begin filling pool. Picture is 10' "pit" with mud and decayed plant matter ranging 2"-7" thickness. I'm vacuuming to waste but biggest leaf canister catcher clogs up in less than a minute. Lots of bending to pull it out and empty ever minute. Spa really helped knees.

Heading to kichen to use rotisserie, for first time. Need to do a bit of study first. Doing a small pork center loin, creamed spinach, and white asparagus.

Love and hugs, Feisty Alice
