It is amazing how they can communicate without words...

I'm home alone. The dogs are in their pen outside, as usual. I was painting for a while when I happened to notice that my phone didn't work. I immediately felt uncomfortable, realizing that I am alone on a big piece of land, practically in a forest. I started to calculate how long it would take me to run downstairs and open the door to the dogs' pen, in case of dealing with an intruder. In this very minute I heard the door sliding and all three dogs were suddenly standing in the doorway to my work studio. They know they are not allowed here.

Have they developed the habit of guarding me when I am alone?

Is it a coincidence that they forced their way into the house immediately after I got this uneasy feeling about being helpless?

Do I make those stories up for myself with my romantic soul or do they really read my mind?

These are my first dogs and I am still learning.
