My sister came home for a visit today & she just walked into the house, Shannon hearing this ran off to see who was there & never having met my sister she went after her, lunging low, snarling & barking as she came in the door until we told her it was OK & then she settled down & made friends. Currently she's laying down near my sister's chair. This is exactly what I wanted from her, a dog I could depend on if anything ever did happen like a burgler, not that I think that's overly likely here in Collinsville, especially since I'm on a fairly quiet street near the woods but better to have & not need than need & not have as my mom always says.
