Spying on the doggies

As Barbie is meant to be resting all day to help her foot heal, I set up a webcam and streamed it via Ustream.tv so that I could watch her whilst I was at work. 

After a week of spying I learned the dogs' routine.



Barbie's is as follows:

8.30am - 12.30pm - sleep on the dog bed, with occasional leg stretching and roaching
12.30pm - 2.00pm - move to the couch for more sleep
2.00pm approximately - get up and get a drink, look out the window, dig at the carpet a little, scratch
2.10pm - 4.30pm - sleep on the dog bed
4.30pm - lie in the window to watch for my return



Bender's goes like this:

8.30 - 1.30pm - sleep on the couch
1.30pm - 2.00pm - move to the sun spot by the door
2.00pm - drink, maybe bark at someone outside
2.00pm - 5pm - sleep on the couch

I find it interesting that Bender hardly barks during the week. He barks when I am home and people are in the driveway, so maybe it is for my benefit?

He probably is protecting you more than your home? Did anyone knock on your door while you weren't there? It would be interesting to know his reaction then. I'm pretty sure my dogs routine is fairly similar to yours. They certainly don't spend their days digging holes in the garden or destroying the flat when I'm at work, for which I'm very grateful!

there were deliveries on two of the days, one of dog food and one a package, both left at the front door, which was maybe why the dogs got up at 2pmish
Maybe Bender used to try and tell Barbie there were people outside and she told him she didn't care. So now he only tells you. Their routine sounds pretty much like Blue and Bettinas when I leave them at home. We have a webcam to watch them as well.
Sheesh - and they say it's a dog's life!

Bender may feel that there's no use being protective if you aren't there! ;) I have a feeling the routine at our house would be pretty similar! lol
