You may be under the impression that because Ruby and Max are large, they make great watch dogs.
Not so.
In our house there are many terrifying things, things you need protection from. A chair might fall over, for example. Sometimes my mom decides to use the swiffer on our kitchen floor (absolutely petrifying). Or sometimes, on those rare occasions of both a full moon and Friday the 13th, the Laminated-Sheet-Of-Paper monster will rear it’s ugly head.
These are all things that people need protection from.
So why, with all these daily horrors, would Max and Ruby need to guard us against something as insignificant as a stranger at the front door? Daily life at the Smith house is so frightening, package delivery people, handymen (or women), and that creepy guy you hired to clean out your vents are greeted with enthusiastic tail wagging.
Or just this:
Whichever the case may be, I think it’s safe to say that the only way a burglar or ax murderer will be prevented from entering our house in the middle of the night is if Ruby falls asleep in front of the door. Once she’s out, she’s a hard lady to move.
