I guess we knew Loki was one of the first to bark if someone was about, he still had acute hearing as an old man, but I don't think we'd realise how complacent the others had been. A knock on the backdoor last week had us jumping out of our skins and it was quickly followed by furious barking. I squeezed out to see a delivery man, he'd come through two gates which had signs warning him not to! I said "wow you're brave." He replied that he had hooted his horn, shouted and knocked on the bedroom window. (Zeus was on the bed!) Ok it was a windy day, so noisy, but hell, they heard nothing?
On Thursday morning, Steve and I woke up to the sound of hooting at the top gate, the coal man must have wet the bed! They didn't bark, not until the gate was opened. Come on guys, we need to know if someone is about.
