The Gaurd Dog

My sister-in-law who we just visited in Washington has two of the cutest weener dogs you have ever seen. Newt the male they have had for a long time but Brandy the girl has only been theirs for about nine months. well this is mostly going to be about Newt. He is the fiercest little gaurd dog you have ever seen. They have small garter snakes up there and Newt hates them with a passion. He goes out four or five times a day and with his nose right to the ground he sniffs out the perimeter of the back yard. He is very diligent in this because nothing is going to breach the boundaries of what he considers his. He doesnt eat the snakes but he has been known to tear them apart. When he is not outside keeping gaurd over his property he is setting on top of the sofa watching out the picture window. Nothing is going to get by him.When there arent any snakes around hes been known to tree a chipmunk or two.Brandy doesnt mind not having to chase wild animals. She will leave that all up to Newt very happily.
