Our protector

The landscaping crew was out shoveling and salting. One of the crew was shoveling our walk, all the way to the door. Jarvis was at the window next to the door without uttering a peep.

Me: Um, not a sound for that person approaching?

Jarvis: Meh.

Me: Meh?! What do you mean, "meh"? You lose your shit when someone parks out front and shuts their door.

Jarvis: Well they may be dangerous.

Me: Oh. My. God. They just get out of their car and don't come near the door. This person is at our door with a shovel!

Jarvis: But, I don't need to bark.

Me: Quite frankly, you almost never need to bark at anyone.

Jarvis: This person is good.

Me: What do you mean?

Jarvis: This person is working with me, not against me for your safety.

Me: Thanks for looking out for us, buddy.
