Since a lot has happened when my sister was born 2 months ago on August 7th, I have a lot to catch everyone up on! So today I’m going to start at the beginning, the day we first met.
My sister had to stay in the hospital for 2 whole days after she was born. But finally the day came when she got to come home.
It was an agonizing wait for me, as I stayed at the farm with my pal Trooper while my family was in the hospital. It was especially hard when I got to smell her baby blanket days before she came home, but yet still I had to wait to meet her. Then finally it was August 9th, the day she came home.
As you could see in the video, I could hardly wait to meet her. I got to say hi to mom and dad first before she came inside, and I knew things were going to be different after sniffing mom’s belly when she walked in the door. My sister was out in the world now, and I was going to have to make sure she stayed safe.
Of course before I did that I had to open the present mom and dad brought me. Priorities.
But after that, it was love. I went everywhere sister went, and made sure no one was going to hurt her. That’s what big brothers do.
Now that she’s a little bigger I’ve let go a little and I’m not so clingy. I have to learn to let her be independent after all, as there is much to teach her! Don’t worry though, if anyone messes with her I’ve got a pretty big guard dog bark!

As a dog, I’ve always taken home security very seriously. Parked on my perch, I spend my day defending my fortress from anything out of the ordinary. It’s an exhausting job, but apparently I’m the only one willing to do it!
Until I was introduced to Kidde RemoteLync that is! The RemoteLync Monitor and the RemoteLync Camera pictured above are my new friends in making sure my home is safe and secure.
The RemoteLync Monitor is a smart home device that will listen for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home and send an alert to your smart phone if a problem arises. (even I can’t do that!)
The RemoteLync Camera is a battery operated, cordless camera that alerts you via smartphone when motion is detected in your home.
Together with the free Kidde RemoteLync App, there really isn’t much left for me to do except…
…be a dog again! (AKA park myself on the couch and watch cartoons!)
See with the touch of a button mom and dad can arm and disarm my house via their phones so that the RemoteLync can start listening for any smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors that go off, and watch for any intruders that might enter my home. You can even set it to arm & disarm automatically when you come and go from your home via GPS.
Mom loves that she can even arm it when I’m left home alone, and feels safer knowing should there ever be a fire she’d be notified right away so I’m not in danger. The camera can even be set to ignore pet movements, so she’s only told if something out of the ordinary happens at home. (I guess I won’t be having any secret parties anytime soon).

Even at work I sleep a lot sounder knowing Kidde has my back and is keeping my home secure while I’m not there. Time to #LetYourDogBeADog again with Kidde!
