Blue, age 7

Hello, all. Don’t let this photo fool you – I’m a busy, busy fella! My people tell me I’m a really good dog, and I tend to believe them. My day job is keeping watch on our street. I have my own office with a window which they call the dining room, but that’s odd considering no one has ever fed me in there. From here, I try my best to keep all children and anything with a wheel alerted to the fact that I’m on duty! I am also very proud of my efforts in the backyard. Score: Blue – 5½; Possums – ½. The one menace I can’t seem to beat is that monster that lives in the giant water bowl in the backyard. It just lurks, twists and turns and then suddenly sprays me with its venom. Any tips on beating this beast?
