Otis hasn't seemed all that interested in Sam. He gives the baby the occasional lick in passing, enjoys sniffing the diaper, and gives us a concerned look when Sam cries but that other than that he completely ignores the little guy. So you can imagine my surprise the other day when Otis showed his true colors. We were showing the man from the moving company (the story behind this is a whole other posting) around while Sam was sleeping on the couch. As the man approached the couch Otis got up from his spot under the table and very pointedly put himself between the man and the couch. He didn't threaten him, just lay down between Sam and the stranger and didn't move until the man left. Now besides viciously barking at just about any thing, imagined or real, that approaches the house,Otis has never really shown any chops as a guard dog. However, after his performance yesterday I am ready to give the old goof a little more credit. I guess that sweet pup loves my boys, for which I love him even more.
