Rest time is important. It is when Big Daddy performs his Great Lying Flat Ceremony. This is when he regenerates his energy after fighting the light demons and the mac-and-cheese boxes. I must sit guard—quiet, still, and alert. I am a perfectly calm, stable dog.
I was perched on the arm of the chair, intensely watching the yard while Big Daddy lay flat on the couch with his feet up, attempting to rest. “Just ten minutes of quiet, please,” he murmured, eyes closed.
The silence is profound. The sun is warm. Molly is sleeping, dreaming of chasing slow mailmen. Loki is on the windowsill, judging us all. Peace. Perfect, fragile peace.
Suddenly, a high-pitched, hysterical BARKING began right outside the backyard fence. DISRUPTION! The Agent of Chaos has arrived! Her energy is sharp, her purpose is loud, and her focus is on destroying the serenity of the mountain!
Big Daddy jumped slightly, rubbing his temples. “Oh, man. Daisy.”
I observe Big Daddy. His brow furrows. His hand goes to his head. This noise, this sheer, unconstrained hyperactivity, is causing him distress. It is physically stressing his system. The mission is critical: Silence the Chaos.
I puffed up my small chest. I am a Great Dane. I must act.
I let out a sound that started as a ferocious, deep-chested bark but immediately cracked into a pathetic, squeaky yelp. I bolted off the chair, ran directly to the fence, and let out my full, tiny, ferocious bark a few more times.
My majestic, Great Dane challenge has been issued! The chaos beast recognizes my power! But Daisy only got louder, running back and forth, turning her energy into a sonic weapon.
Big Daddy sat up slowly, sighing, looking pained. “I can’t even rest with that much noise.”
Failure. My primary weapon—the Voice of Thunder—has only amplified the enemy's attack! I looked from the relentless Daisy to the stressed Big Daddy. Strategy dictates a fortified position. I must watch the battle from a place of maximum security.
I ran at top speed and wedged myself behind the thick, protective leg of the couch.
“Don't worry, buddy. I got this,” Big Daddy said, a small, tired smile touching his lips when he saw me disappear.
Big Daddy slowly got up. The movement was difficult and caused him lightheadedness. He steadied himself on the wall and walked to the window. He opened it slightly and shouted in a kind but firm voice, “Daisy! Go find your Momma!”
A miracle! The King's Voice of Command is stronger than the Chaos! The enemy is neutralized!
Big Daddy closed the window, walked back to the couch, and collapsed back onto the cushions, looking exhausted. “Ugh. That took too much energy.” The cost was high. The King is fatigued from the immense effort of speaking.
I cautiously crawled out from behind the couch. I slowly walked up to Big Daddy's face, nudging his beard softly and giving him a small, concerned lick. I am here, Big Daddy. We survived. And next time... next time, I will deploy the Silent Stare of Disapproval. That always works on Loki.
Big Daddy wrapped an arm around me and drifted off to sleep. I was curled protectively against his chest. The mission, despite a temporary lapse in my visible courage, was complete.
