#oweing that entirely to actually making her interact with strangers while doing bitework

[gar-a-ash]

Came home from Hatchet's final vaccinations yesterday (40 pounds now! He gained 10 pounds in three weeks!), and when I backed into the driveway my parents were over brush hogging the back field. My mom was in the backyard and Tassie looked out the back window just in time to see her walk behind the house out of sight.

Tassie has never ever barked in the car and when I tell you she immediately started barking and snarling and pacing along that window. Gave them the okay to jump out of the car and she tore into the backyard hackles up, ready to fucking go, and when I walked around the corner she was circling my mom growling and sniffing. If it had been anyone less familiar to her it might have been a bite right there. Every now and then the very intense pedigree comes out of her.
