My Protector Miss Sweetie
This ten pound bundle of cuteness may not look like a fierce protector. But if you’ve ever known dachshunds, you’ll know that they were bred to haul big fat fierce badgers out of their holes. And that is no small task!
So my wonderful Miss Sweetie is tiny and cute but she is also mighty. The first time she demonstrated her talents was a few years ago an unwelcome Uncle came to our door. He had a habit of dropping by unannounced, which no one in our family enjoyed. Especially since he could sit and talk for hours!
But my dog took care of that problem for me after only one visit. My uncle came to the door and when I opened it, she barked ferociously and he turned and fled. That was easy!
But the other night little Miss Sweetie did me an even better turn of protection much to my surprise. I have some new neighbors and they must have been out of town and had someone staying at their house.
It was about 10 pm and this young man decided to step outside to smoke. But the place he chose was a narrow balcony that connects our two homes and is a little too close for comfort as the window to the outside looks right into my living room. Eeek!
I didn’t know what to do and I definitely didn’t want someone out there billowing smoke into my home but what could I say? I didn’t even know him and I didn’t want to be rude.
But just as I was wondering what to do, I heard this very loud sound. The best I can do to describe it is to call it a ‘man sound’. (sorry fellows!) It is one of those noises that you will probably never ever hear a woman make. Unless she’s on a dessert island and even then…no probably not!
You know the sound of…..what should I call it? The sound of a wad of gelatinous fluid being expelled from one’s throat? A loud and completely digusting sound?? Well that was the one he was making and my little dog went wild at the noise.
She ran to the door and started barking ferociously through the screen. I’m not sure if he could even see her because she’s very small but a second later, I heard the sound of a door closing and I realized that he’d actually put out his cigarette and gone inside!
Yay Miss Sweetie for warding off gelatinous-wad-expelling intruders! In addition to hauling badgers out of holes, my dog is good for many other tasks. 
So if you have any annoying neighbors or relatives, let me know. I’d consider hiring out Miss Sweetie for a night or two. :>) She’d be worth the price.
Ah, all is peaceful again here in the homestead. Little dog is back to sleep after her hard work! I can’t wait to see what she’s going to protect me from next!
