Home Security

Hi, I am Cookie! I am the head dog in this house, but I am good friends with Jackie. I am responsible for patrolling the yard perimeters, controlling birds in and around the yard, barking at passers-by, and maintaining the general security of the yard and the house. I take my duties very seriously and I am always on guard.

Jackie: Well, I help with the perimeter patrol.

Cookie: Yes, but you are just the helper, I am the one who scares intruders away.

Jackie: You don't look very scary to me.

Cookie: I can be very scary and MEAN!

Jackie: I have never seen you mean, except when you don't want me eating your food.

Cookie: Well I don't like you eating my food, and I really don't approve of skunks--they stink. It is a good thing that when skunks come around at night Mama has shut the dog door, or I would GET THEM!

Jackie: I think they would get you too--good thing Mama locks the dog door. You better stay on your cushion:

Cookie: Well maybe we had better go and see if Mama has anything for us to eat?

Jackie: She doesn't. She has put me on a diet.

Cookie: When you only weigh seven pounds, you don't get to eat very much.

Jackie: Well then I have a toy. Let's play!
