My big baby boy (Rugby, almost 80 lbs.) has saved me from a momma bear, a bear cub, coyotes, skunks, opossums, racoons, squirrels, red-tailed hawks, blue herons, wild turkeys, deer, tree frogs in the house, scorpions in the house, bats in the house, yellow jackets in the house, spiders in the house (I call pretty much any bug in the house that he notices...I call him spider biter because he eats them). He even treed a mountain lion two summers ago that was trying to sneak up on a chicken. Oh...and of course people, bikes, ATV's, motorcycles...and my vacuum and the front bumper of my car. He is very dedicated to his job.

I also have a yellow lab, and he tortures him. He is taller than the lab, and body slams him at full speed, every chance he gets. He's knocked him off his feet numerous times, so I have to protect the older yellow lab now.

Anything out of place is to be barked at. I"m pretty sure he's OCD. He has serious separation anxiety. And he has this mouth that just can't stop biting me except in bed...it's the only time I can snuggle with him, and he relaxes and enjoys it. When he's up, it's OK to give him butt rubs, but touching him anywhere near his face and he thinks it's play time. He cannot hold still for it.

I named my guy Rugby because he ate a corner of every throw or area rug in the house when he was young. Some bed linens too. How did you pick a name like Mocker? That's cute. Rugby is a black and tan (pure...no white anywhere). What color is yours?
