A Stranger In The Yard

Continuing from yesterday...

After Billy and Abby had been inside about an hour, we looked out the window and saw this:

Is he leaning over to hear the snow hit the ground?

I was amazed his hat was still on the snowman's head. He really did like it.

Then we let our dog outside. He is very protective of our yard and does not like strangers. At all. He started barking at once, but was skeptical of getting too close.

Cautious stance: Who is this intruder?

He jumped back several times, as if he sensed movement from the Snowman.

Leaning way in to get a better sniff.

Bark! Bark, bark! Bark!
That should have scared him away by now!

Funny thing is, the dog was outside the whole time Billy and Abby were building the snowman. Only when the Snowman started to lean did he become a threat.
