My husband and daughter went to a concert out of town. I am enjoying the fact that they have started doing some things like that together...can't get too much daddy-daughter time, I say! Anyway, I spent the evening with Jordan. We watched a little television and did our Valentines for school, etc... Anyway, our other family member was in need of a quick visit outside, so Jordan had dog duty. No big deal really...
Or so I thought. Jordan comes running back into the house; "Mom, there is a big huge dog out in the back yard with Baby Girl! HELP!" I go running. Jordan has locked both dogs in the back yard, mainly because he is scared. As I leave our back door, I start yelling for our dog to come in the house, which is when the crazy barking started.
Picturing my dog getting chewed up by a big dog, I had a moment of pure panic...what was I going to do?! I get to the gate, still yelling her name. It is dark and Baby Girl is black. Evidently the other dog is black too, so I can hardly see them in the pitch black of night. As I hit the gate, my sweet little dog goes berserk! All of a sudden, I see two dark blobs chasing each other, one on the heels of the other, one dog running for its life.
Now the funny part of this story, is that when my eyes finally started to focus, I realized that my little dog, half chihuahua and half rat terrier was chasing and nipping at a big Lab. Who would have thunk it? I guess our little watch dog was out to save her master from the big, bad wolf! Where did the courage come from? It must have been her huge "bat ears." Maybe, she is a superhero among dogs and we didn't know it....
Baby Girl ("Bat Girl," as I like to call her!"

Okay...I must have my mind in the gutter, because when I first read the "It must be the bat ears" and read that there was a big dog with Baby Girl...I TOTALLY was thinking that the big dog was looking for a girlfriend. HA!!!
