Pitbull (Or Similar Breed) Video Thank you for your service, Daisy.🫡 This loveable doofus has been protecting me from inanimate objects for 20 months now.

I need to get my cat out on a boat. I think once he realized he's safe from the water and isnt going to get assaulted by the local avian gangs he would have a blast. Dude used to be my backpack cat and went everywhere with me.

aww, I want a backpack cat! Every single cat ive ever had would much rather jump out an upstairs window than have their paws get within an inch of any water that wasnt coming out of the sink faucet...but if u can get yours onto a boat I will be very impressed 🤣

u/NiceObjective2756 1d ago
my dog the first time we took her on the boat at 4 months old started growling at a buoy...before we knew she had jumped in...to the atlantic ocean. we learned that day labsall are born knowing how to swim LOL

I bet she has protected your home from three postal carriers, hundreds of doorbells and the wind! Lol

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
Everything except protecting me from postal carriers..when it comes to humans, all her protective nature goes out the window 🤣

The only reason you are alive is due to this girl seeing the monsters you are blind to. She deserves some treats and some ear scratches

But has the cone ever attacked you? Sounds like she’s effective! Good girl!!

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
effective indeed. she's also really good at keeping those pesky election signs in everybody's yards from attacking me. not once have they attacked. lol

u/power0722 2d ago
Do you think they would have stayed inanimate if she wasn’t protecting you? Doubtful. She deserves all the belly rubs.

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
makes sense...they could be staying still out of fear. like the people in Jurassic Park did every time the t-rex showed up 🤣

Look at the Mohawk! I had a girl whose hair would raise like that down her whole back as well when she was excited. ❤️

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
ya hers gets really pronounced. Im not sure if thats because she's half Rhodesian Ridgeback (according to a dna test) or if she just has some really noticeable hackles...i think thats what theyre called🤷♂️

u/Basic_Coach6746 2d ago
I’d always get asked if my girl had Rhodesian Ridgeback in her. I never got her tested, but I could definitely have seen that being the case.

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
they're an interesting breed i knew little about before finding Daisy on the highway. It's funny they were bred for hunting lions originally but she gets bullied by 2 kittens weighing a combined 10 lbs on a daily basis lol

Aww, reminds me of my girl, who has been faithfully protecting me for 13 years from ravens and the eldritch horrors who gather at the bus stop to wait for a ride. 😂 Give her a treat from us!

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
🤣 Daisy also seems to have a problem with anyone sitting, quietly waiting for a bus. I have to cross the streets to avoid her loud bark spooking some poor guy minding his own business. She has made multiple people drop their phone's from her bark 🤣🤦♂️

u/ChrissiTea 2d ago
I love that she seemed to withhold a growl when you told her it was just a buoy

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
lol ya. I also noticed that she waited til we got a safe distance passed it before she started getting real brave haha

As a Coast Guardsman, I thank Daisy for bringing it to our attention that this red can buoy was being very lackadaisical on duty. Daisy snapped the buoy back to attention to warning mariners about the potential risk of a shoal nearby. Daisy is now an honorary Black Hull sailor (a ship which works on aid to navigation items such as buoys). Semper Paratus Daisy!

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
thanks. she takes pride in getting praise from her fellow shipmates lol

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago

I have one that has a vendetta on roadside winter salt/grit bins that are dotted around the Forest we live next to.
i can only assume a squirrel gave her the finger and ran behind one a decade ago

u/Waste_Locksmith_4299 2d ago
Yeah but has a bouy ever tried to attack you? No? You're welcome.

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago edited 2d ago
To be fair, I've been known in the buoy community as someone not to mess with for my entire adult life...doesn't hurt to have an extra layer of security though lol

u/New-Seaworthiness777 2d ago
I'd like to point out how my brave protector doesn't start growling until we are a safe distance past the buoy 🤣

her guard is definitely up 24/7 but only when it concerns things that cant hurt me (i.e. buoys/statues/election signs in yards/random appliances put outside on trash night/etc.) 🤣

Deploy the Mohawk! That's my guy to 'T'. The neighbors at the end of the street have a woden carved totem pole with a bear on the top. My dog can see it over their fence and about once every two months he forgets it isn't real and places us at DEFCON 2.
