Yesterday, new washer and dryer were being delivered, and poor Suka about lost her mind.
Being the only one home at the time, I crated The Girls, and set about opening up the house for the delivery guys to work. Suka announced the arrival of the truck. She announced the first delivery guy - vigorously. Then the second - not so vigorously - I guess he was more acceptable to her. Then she announced the door I'd popped off the hinges to make space - with extra alertness in her eyes and carriage - Clearly, disassembling bits of the house did not meet her approval.
The delivery guys were commented upon again as they went out to the truck. They got a special emphasis when they brought the dryer in. She's not barking the whole time, no - only as things and people passed through the front door.
Then, the guys removed the old dryer... I thought Suka would turn herself inside out from sheer frustration - Strangers were REMOVING stuff! Our stuff! HER STUFF!! (dunno when she got so possesive of the laundry, but apparently it's very important to her)
Dakota, meanwhile, sat quietly and watched the goings-on.
In with the new washer - announced. Out with the old washer - denounced. Back in with the workers, as the made connections and tested the appliances - announced! Workers departing - announced again.
Dakota still had nothing to say. She just sat there and patiently watched the action.
Even though everyone keeps a wary eye on Dakota, Suka is the one to which they should be paying attention. Dakota doesn't take strange folks all that seriously. As big as she is, she doesn't need to, I s'pose. Suka, though..? She's got opinions about strange folks, strange goings-on, and especially about what comes and goes(!!) in her domain.
She spent the rest of the evening suspiciously eyeballing the new washer and drier. Not sure what nefarious activity she expected from them, but it's clear she thought they were up to something!

Gotta watch out for those evil washers and dryers and the folks that get dragged in with 'em!
Yeah... Who knows..? The machines might have been full of something that desperately needed regulation and herding... Like cats!
The two dudes were kinda comical, in a way. Their heads swiveled like owls every time they passed through the front room, where The Girls were crated - Watching the wrong dog. Dakota is big and impressive, but if I really want somthing defended (well, intimidated and harassed, anyway), Suka is the go-to dog.
snicker. Foolish Dudes.
