A Nap, Interrupted

What is Zelda-The-Wonder-Dog to do when her afternoon nap at the top of the stairs is so rudely interrupted?

And who is that creeping menacingly up the stairs?

She's up now, to guard the landing from incoming foes.

He hunkers down and makes a growly face, her guard hairs go up at attention and she growls in return.

The rush that she expected happens and she is ready to block his sneaky maneuver.

It ends in a head to head pushing contest, both with stubborn iron wills, and strong necks, who ends up winning this time?

The photographer of course, who got a real kick out of documenting her silly dog playing with her silly boy.
