Open Gate

The second time we went outside this morning, the gate from our dog yard was open. Pepe ran out to watch the rest of our land. There is a stretch of land between the house and the road, but Pepe ran down to the road. This is where Daniel later fetched him. 

Indoors, later, I asked Pepe what he did, when he got down to the road. He said he secured the property from intruders. It is not that we often have intruders, rather the opposite, actually. Pepe like to claim this is to a large part thanks to him. Chihuahuas like us are watch dogs. So are Shibas, by the way. I still do not think Pepe is a large contributor to the fact that we almost never have intruders. I play a greater part myself, I believe.
