Last night something scary happened. A guy showed up at their front door wanting to use the phone.
It is kind of pathetic that a man coming to the door asking to use the phone is a scary thing, huh? But it IS. I mean, who DOES that? They can't be up to any good, can they?
How many random phoneless people wander suburbia, stopping by the homes of the elderly to make a call?
I wasn't around to tell the guy I was going to call the cops - because I truly think that's what I would have done - but fortunately Goldie came to the rescue.
Mom said the dog hurled at herself at the man with the fury of a hound unleashed from hell. He was very, very lucky the screen door held.
Mom passed a cordless phone out to him, so if he indeed needed to make a call, he got to do it. But if he had any darker ambitions, they were thwarted by 65 pounds of rabid-looking mutt. Ha!
Another reason Goldie is officially The Greatest Dog in the World.
In a more relaxed moment.

Goldie is the best.
awww, i so love my puppy too, even though he can be a little monster sometimes. then again, he's not quite 15 weeks
goldie is awesome. wish you could bring her to blogher so i could meet both of you!
My dearly departed Sadie once pounced on the screen door and scared away a couple of guys on my porch who were claiming to want to mow my lawn (even though they had no mower in tow). A few days later a house around the corner was broken into, and when I saw the picture of the guys they caught, I was pretty sure it was the same guys, and they'd been casing the neighborhood. I was so glad to have such a vicious-looking/sounding dog.
Good dog! Have a treat!
And here the best I can say about my dogs is that they've scared away Jehovah's Witnesses!
Badass! Dogs are the best!
(Loved your last post by the way)
Always trust a dog's instincts.
Go Goldie Go! I am so proud of her!
Good girl Goldie! You get extra cuddles now ...
Yeah, Goldie! No way would I open the door to someone needing to use the phone. Really guy? That's the best line you could come up with?
I think your mom needs to be grounded for opening the door to strangers. She'll have to earn back her privleges.
I love Goldie. I wish I could teach my cat to be so brave and protective of me.
