OMG. Glad to hear that you're both OK. Good Boy Fletcher!!
We had both a plumber and a "computer- installation-man", both total strangers, in our house today and Pepik was just all wiggles! Well he does bark before they come in.
My nightmare is that somebody would break in with a knife or gun and hurt Pepik in the first place. But I can just hope that Pepik would scare them off in case somebody with bad intentions would break in. But it's hard to imagine because Pepik LOVES loves loves people.
(sorry for being lengthy but the plumber actually went away for lunch and came back and Pepik didn't even get up, he only raised his head lying down and turned one ear when the plumber came back the second time. I was almost disappointed with his guarding. Perhaps they have this 6th sense so they just KNOW.
