I have
this image totally engrained in my mind. Czar definitely comes
alive at night! We have about 6 acres of our very rural and remote 15
acres fenced, and when the coyotes, deer, raccoons and possum come out
and are right at the fence line, he protects the property (and our Alaskan
Malamute, Raisa) like you wouldn't believe! When the weather is cool, he
will work, and bark, all night; sitting up on the highest point of the
property so he has the best line of sight. Always attentive, never bored,
never resting or sleeping; always on guard. I will actually go out and sit with
him in the middle of the night when it is clear and the stars are out. His
instincts to guard and protect are fascinating to watch and be a part
of.
When I
get up in the morning, of course, he is at the door, lumbers into the house at a
snails pace, exhausted, and promptly lifts his big, beautiful self onto the king
size bed; so he can sleep for the day.....what a life!!!!
