Dogs can sense things we cannot

I agree, but this time it was just “my lady is home alone, be protective” because this guy had been fixing our stuff for years before this incident and in fact, he was at MY house last year (crap, he’s been in business a LONG time!). No arrests, no funny stuff. Just a protective dog I guess.

Yes, I do remember that now, Jill. I know La Heyer had them in some of her Georgian books as well as Patricia Veryan (I think) and Lynne Connolly (I know). I just love the image: red heels, powdered wig and small sword!

Oh yes. I have to admit that the thought of a man in lavender satin, with red-heeled shoes and a sword by his side is a big turn-on for me and one of the first reasons I fell in love with the Georgian period. What, you thought it was the labyrinthine politics? Well they have their place, but you know, big strong man who isn’t afraid to play with his sexuality – ooo baby!
They have to be big strong men with a definite alpha streak, though.

Anyway, the height of the fashion for red heels was around 1764, if you look at the fashion mags of the time. They were definitely town wear, and nobody really knows where the idea came from – maybe, like Jean Paul Gaultier, they just did.

I’ve always wondered, how does he KNOW that is the best place to target?

Cause dogs just know.

My Maltese, Basil, is leary of most men and goes right for the crotch. I’ve always wondered, how does he KNOW that is the best place to target?

Scared the crap out of him. When he asked my mom if the dog was mean she said, “no. I’ve never seen her do this.

Dogs can sense things we cannot, if Moose were ever to do that, I would ask the guy to leave and I would reschedule. We had a guy come over to take my hubby out for guys night, our Mastiff at the time started pacing the house and when this guy got near me the hackles went up, teeth started showing, whole nine yards, I asked him to leave and wait in the car with everyone else….he was arrested 2 weeks later for domestic violence and had a long history of it that none of his friends knew–within a year was discharged from the military for repeat domestic violence.
Well Meme sure did pick up on something!

But come to think of it, he did follow one workman around my house one day and scared the bejesus out of the guy through his sheer size.

We had a collie/shelty mix (looked just like Lassie). She was a sweetheart of a dog. Little kids would pull her tail, try to ride her etc and she would just sigh and lay down. But one day a repairman came to the house to fix something when my mom was home alone. That dog followed that guy around with her mouth right by his ankles. Scared the crap out of him. When he asked my mom if the dog was mean she said, “no. I’ve never seen her do this. I guess if you don’t make any sudden moves towards me you’ll be fine.” When the repairman left, she found a sunny spot, layed down and took a nap! LOL

Regarding the book~it sounds very good. I may have to look for it.

I loved the sequel as well. I am really, really hoping there will be more.

I do agree with you that there are some awesome SEAL books out there and, once upon a time, I devoured Suz’s category books along with everyone else. And then everybody else began churning them out and you couldn’t go a month without 5 new SEAL books staring down at you from bookstore shelves.

Maybe now the ground isn’t littered with them like popcorn on the floor after the movie is over and we can go back to, as you say, well written ones.

and I adored how towards the end of the book, they have a conversation in the lines of The Taming of the Shrew, my favorite Shakespeare play.
