As I sit in my office which looks out to the front of the house, I notice the meter reader drive up into the front of the house, get out of his truck and hop over the fence.
I couldn't see my dogs at this point, but I see the meter reader stop and put his hand up in a "Stay" signal. Then he keeps on walking; and now I see my dogs . Heidi reaches him first tail a waggin' and she looks back at Buddy to see when he is going to reach him too. Both dogs are so happy to see him and to have someone to "play" with. They greet him happily.
Meter reader does his thing walks back to the fence, hops over, gets into his truck and drives away. Heidi looks sad.
That's my girl...my property protection dog. LOL 
She really is too sweet.
