Guard Puppy

Apparently I have a guard dog on duty! There have been nights where Mika has heard a noise she is not used to, so she gives her "a-rufffff" grunt and if she still feels uneasy she will sometimes bark. Once she settles down she still does her "a-ruffff" for a bit. However, there have been nights when she still feels uneasy and she will start her patrol of the bedroom. Mika will walk from one side of the room to the other for about 5-10 minutes before she settles down and goes back onto my bed and back to sleep.

During the day if I am studying or doing homework she will also bark when she hears someone coming up the stairs. It's as if she knows my bedroom is only for her and I to share and when she hears footsteps coming up she alerts me, which she doesn't have to since my stairs are so loud and creaky it's hard not to hear someone coming up haha. When she is home alone though, I have her in her ex-pen, she has never barked at me or given her "a-rufff" at me when I come home. She is only on duty when I am here with her.

It makes me happy to know that she is trying to protect me by alerting me.
