TESS AND THE POSTMAN

What is it about dogs and postmen?

We have a lovely man who delivers our post but every morning Tess goes completely mad, barking and running round in circles, then jumps up next to me as if to say ‘its ok - I’ll protect you’.

Once she goes to the front door and sees the post has arrived she calms down. We can even be driving through the village and pass him on his bike and she goes mad. Could it be the uniform or the bike I wonder? Luckily he likes dogs and is quite happy to say hello and give her a stroke, then she’s happy.

We were trying to find a way to stop this then someone pointed out that it is quite a good thing to have a ‘guard dog’ to put off unwanted visitors so now we just grin and bare it. Imagine a Welsh Springer Spaniel as a guard dog!

Just hope the postman (and others visitors) can live with it too!!!!!
