This may be a repeat story, but I can't remember for certain. About 1 year ago, my husband (then fiancee) had a call to nature during the night. Heidi is too big to sleep ON the bed but she has her own bed next to ours. Apparently she did not realize he had gotten up. On his return, she went nuts! You know that growly bark that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, well - that was the first time I had heard it! (she was under a year old at that time). I said baby, you better speak so she knows its you or I think you may get your face altered! He had frozen to his spot. He did speak and then the whole wiggle butt turn myself in half with joy happened and all was well. Within a minute or two she went back to bed. I figured she would be protective, given the reason to - but after that, I had no doubt in my mind!
I love ALL my dogs but am totally smitten with our precious Boxers!
Val, Heidi & Pack

I had a similar experience with Chancy once. He and I were weeding in our fenced back yard. I saw some vines that were coming through the fence from the front side of the house. Chancy was off doing his doggy things and didn't notice I'd exited the gate. I walked around to the side of the house where the vines were. THEN he took notice and came unglued! As far as he knew, some stranger was approaching the fence and it was his job to protect his gardening mom. Of course he was all waggles when he got close enough to realize it was me, but it took me aback to see this normally goofy loving boy, turn into 90 pounds of snarling, barking, dog charging the fence. It felt good to know I could count on him if needed, but I would not have wanted to be a burglar on the other end of that!

> Interesting thing happened to me on the way to the theater, whoops wrong story. But yesterday I woke up with a very stiff neck and had to go into into town to see my doctor. While I was in town my wife, who had been away for a couple of days arrived home. I got home and she was in her office on the computer and our two lovable three year old puppies were lying on the floor next to here. I walked in the door wearing a neck brace, and suddenly I had two 70 pound guardians barking at me and not wanting to let me go any further. I took the brace of and and all of a sudden the room was quiet and tails stubs were wagging. I spoke to them and they rushed me like they always do. It made me feel good that even though I was there owner, the fact that they did not recognize me put them on alert. Made my wife feel good also.
