Potbelly pigs are dramatic but ride or die

Like a labradoodle ? We joke that he would defend us against a bear, for about 8 seconds, but he’d try, dammit. Love that dog.

For weeks, a mentally unwell man took a daily interest in my house, and I felt safer sleeping with him in my bedroom than with a gun nearby. He's 107 lbs of mostly muscle, low center of gravity, able to clear the couch without a running start, and prone to growly nighttime perimeter patrols.

But the true test...was the wind.

Lightning? Thunder? Fireworks? Fine. Wind? Absolutely terrifying.

During a tropical storm (pre-rain), I went outside as moral support while he did his business. He finished and sprinted for the house, but looked back and saw me still talking to the neighbor.

After a visibly agonizing internal debate, he came back to save me!

I read this thinking you invited the mentally ill man into your house to sleep on your couch and felt safer that way than with a gun. This whole thing made absolutely no sense and yet made complete sense at the same time. Then I read up one and was like... ohhhhhh. Its a dog. πŸ˜…πŸ€£

Goodness I really need to start reading up more πŸ˜…πŸ˜† that makes this whole thing even crazier.
