    Tortoise body guard?!

    Put our 15 in. yellow foot out in the yard with the dogs since I was out to keep an eye on everyone. When one of the dogs would get too curious I would make a sound to let them know to back off. A few minutes later I noticed the frenchie sitting next to the tort. just watching the other dogs. When one of the other dogs would venture to within 10 ft. of the tort she would fly savagely into their face, then return to her post. She kept up the vigil till tort was returned to his pen. She has never in the past fought over anything with these dogs. I believe she has laid claim to my tortoise!:eek: She would occasionally check the tort over then sit down again. Almost as if to say "are you alright." The tort just kept grazing peacefully.

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    thanks everyone. Yeah it was cute. If she does it again I will get pics, And a video if I can figure it out.
    What made it really cute is the fact that the tort is almost as big as she is. Believe me, the borzoi want NOTHING to do with that tort now!

    Awe So your pet has a pet? That reminds me of something I saw where a tort and a rhino were friends in the same enclosure; an odd couple!
