My sweet little dog

good story, labs make great alarms.


edit: except when they have run all day and can sleep like a log.

 

Good for you and your pooch! Nice story.

 

I'm so relieved you're okie dokie

 

Set a bear trap.

 

punji pit by window.

 

it's time for some motion activated flood lights and acid dispensing lawn sprinklers.

 

I'm glad that it did not turn into something ugly. Please treat this seriously. Have a plan. A firearm, a taser, pepper spray.....something.

 

Make sure you love your pooch even more it is well deserved.

 

Glad you're okay Courtney.Keep a Glock close by and stay safe.

 

That's all I ask or expect from my little ankle nipper...............just a little warning time. And that's what I get.





I'll handle the rest.




Edited to add:

Nothing like sitting in the lounger, kicked back and starting to doze off, when the little nipper jumps up and barks loudly.......then starts running toward the back door like her tail was on fire. Talk about being wide awake.

Been more than one small cat scared out of it's mind. And me.

She figures if it moves on HER property, it's wrong.

Good girl.

 

lmao. haha. yes.

 

Any dog can raise a racket, they are the best alarm system going.
You might report the prowling.

 

I also depend on my ankle biter. If I went to code red every time the outside big dogs got excited, I would never get to bed. They bark at every deer, stray dog, cat, or coyote that wiggles within 1/2 mile of the house.

The little yapper on the other hand only goes off if there is a disturbance around the exterior perimeter of the house. She gives me 30 seconds or more. Thats plenty.

 

Here's a fantastic write up on it. It's dead simple and very little real work. If you or someone you know can change a car tire you (or they) can pull it off.

It's, honestly, one of the cheapest and most valuable (at the same time) home security measures I can think of. That and planting rose bushes under windows.

Just an FYI, electrical fires are seldom caused by people doing things properly to the the electrics in their homes. They are often the result of "jury rigging" something to get it to start working again. Measure twice, cut once and all that jazz.

 

good dog,glad you`r okay.

stay safe.

 

Not only that but they live longer. My brother and his family came home Christmas eve one year and found the front door open. Everything was gone, Tree, presents, sofa, chairs, tables, beds, TVs, 20 or so rifles and 3 German made 3 auto rifles, and his dog, who was a good protector.

He found his dog the next morning behind the house dead from a gaping head wound. He felt worse about the dog than everything else he lost.

Cops just took a loss report. Never looked for prints, never took pictures or casts of the truck tire imprints in the snow at the front door or any investigation at all, even after knowing that 3 legal (to my brother) fully automatic rifles were among the items stolen.

 

Nice doggie.
