This reminds me of a time over fifty years ago. We had a German Shepard named Charlie. Charlie was extremely protective and was very sneaky.

We had a "Beware Of Dog" sign on the gate, but you always had that person that would shake the gate to stir him up, so he became wise to the ploy. He learned, when you shook the gate he would not respond. He would wait until you walked into the gate and reach the no return spot, then he would come after you. He would then leave you standing on the porch until someone came to rescue you, or you could take your chances trying to get back to the gate.

Well, one day a meter reader got stuck on the porch for over eight hours. He was pissed. He filed charges. We laughed like crazy when the court subpoena came in Charlie's name. My Mom said she started to send him into the courtroom unattended, but she thought better of it.

She left Charlie at home and the judge threw out the case, but like I said, it was over fifty years ago, and it was in the country.

Not meaning to cause thread drift but it brought up old memories and made laugh almost as hard and it did the day the subpoena came for Charlie.

Funny!
