people always assume that egbert does all of the guarding around here, being a german shepherd mix, and all.

well that is not true.

my people like to call me guard bird sometimes, because i warn them when someone is coming close or something seems amis. i know all of our neighbors and friends, of course. i can even tell when clients of other neighbors are around and i don’t sound the alarm.

but, when someone is approaching that doesn’t fit these categories, i sound the alert - a basso, brief kind of hoarse bark that gives them a one time warning. my people are quick and know the drill. they always check it out.

so listen to your other animals - not just the dogs. think about the guard birds.
