None of it makes sense to me. As I just said. But, whatever happened, it's turned Laddie into a real watchdog. Did you notice how he went for the police when they started down the drive, last night? We've got a watchdog at last." "We've got more than a watchdog," amended the Mistress. "An ordinary watchdog would just scare away thieves or bite them.
Immediately danger threatened the poultry-yard. For a pig has terrible teeth and he doesn't care what he eats he would as soon crunch a little duckling as a carrot. So she had to watch every minute, every second even. For besides, in spite of the vigilance of "Labrie," the faithful watchdog, sometimes rats would suck the blood of the young pigeons.
Even if he took a chance with Waddles and won out he would be in worse shape than before, for if he turned a finger against her old watchdog and friend he would gain only her deadly enmity. "Waddles, you win," Slade said. "I'll be going before you change your mind."
Even to the inexperience of W. K. the sand-bagged earthworks built about Gueldersdorp, the barricades of trek-waggons and railway-trucks blocking up the roads debouching on the veld, the extending lines of trenches, the watchdog forts, the sentinelled pickets, the noiseless, continually moving patrols, all the various parts of the marvellous machinery of defence, controlled by one master-hand upon the levers, would count for nothing against that overwhelming onrush of armed thousands, that flood of men dammed up above the town, and waiting the signal to roll down and overwhelm her, and Cripps! what a chance to make a glorious, heroic splash in Greta's sight!
The disagreeable impression was but momentary, for the lady turned again to Dan, engaged him with her frank and pleasant glance, and young Frost forgot everything in the presence of the most charming woman he had ever met. Captain Bonhomme and his watchdog had disappeared, closing the saloon door behind them. Dan and Madame de la Fontaine were alone.
And of late years, since the barbed wire choked the cattle ranges, and gave pause to the coyote, there has been no enemy. But the dogs are there, though their function has passed away. It is but a tradition a remembrance. Only to the dogs themselves does any reality exist. Yet, such is the nature of dogs and men, the watchdog was never more numerous nor more alert than today.
I'm the official little ray of sunshine. See?" and I bobs my head so she can get a good view of my red thatch. "Huh!" says she; but she can't help lettin' out a grin, so I sees the cure has begun. "Don't you mind Piddie," says I. "He don't dare tie the can to you without reportin' higher up. He likes to make a noise like a watchdog, that's all. Next time you give him the merry chuckle."
I passed on, leaving my Job's comforter; but a surly watchdog got upon my track, and I had much difficulty in keeping it from biting me. Its attacks, renewed upon me again and again, had one good effect, they stirred up my spirits and made me hasten on. Having persevered along the Learmouth road, I next met a company of men hastening on with a bundle of ropes.
"'Michael' was given to me by me father an' he's not very big and he's not a watchdog, he's a pet dog and look " She caught sight of Ethel's little poodle and with a cry of self-justification, she said: "See, she has a dog in the house right here in the house. Look at it!" and she pointed to where the little ball of white wool lay sleeping on Ethel's lap.
The doctor had told him to ask a number of questions with regard to the little sufferer, and Frank was well enough up in medicine to know what to say when he learned how matters were going. A big watchdog boomed his hoarse bark upon the night air, as Frank dropped off his wheel at the gate where the mail box was fastened. "Hello, Kaiser! Good dog! Don't you know me, old fellow?
