Don't you wish sometimes dogs could talk? Tell you about their day?
Hey, Mom! I barked at a lot of people today and it was fun! I chased the squirrel too! Then I napped.
Dogs could be a sort of a Webcam on your yard. Today, if I asked Maya what her day was like, she'd say something like this:
Mom! Mom! I am soooo glad you are home, I am scared clear to death! A really ugly dude came by the house with a pipe wrench looking thingy and bashed in the window on OUR Jeep! He touched OUR Jeep, the one that takes us all over the place. He was really Stew-Pid though, cause he couldn't get that dumb 'ole radio out of the dash, so he just took the face off and left the rest in there. And it was so scarey when he was bashing the window - Mom, really, I barked a lot, but I just couldn't do anything and I was scared. I am so scared still now that I can't raise my tail and wag it; all I can do is just let it droop. I was traumatized, Mom. And it was right in the middle of the day, too! All sunny and stuff, with all the traffic going by. I am sorry I can't wag my tail for you, cause I am still traumatized. Things just aren't right in our yard now. Are you really gonna put me outside tomorrow? What if the ugly dude comes back?
Ahhh, our furry friends. Loyal to the end ... Never a dull moment.
Holy cow! Are you kidding me? That really stinks. Let me know if I can do anything.

omigosh - that is awful! The dog was probably wishing he could do some flesh-ripping.
(My dog would only be saying: I rolled around in the grass all day, barked at some birds and then ran like a chicken when they got close...)
