Yeah, I've seen your two; they would probably lick an intruder to death... or chew on those squeaky toys and render the burgler deaf.<BR/><BR/>Jill: Exactly! You know what I mean.

I guess it's a good thing I also have the "ultimate guard dog" roaming around my house. My Sheltie will bark any intruder's ears off! I guess we are not your normal Canucks either; we lock our doors ALL the time - especially since that crazy old lady and her daughter walked right in one New Year's Eve. The daughter was so embarrassed, her mother was furious at us for being in her other daughter's house!

I used to be the same way. But then my husband started the graveyard shift (and worked it for 3 years), so I knew I'd HAVE to get it together.

I have to check out all funny noises, check and re-check the doors and double check the alarm is on.

In the shower. Husband still sleeping. Stranger enters bathroom. Freak out of the highest magnitude. Turns out the guy was looking for a woman who lived in the back part of their split residence house. He got it SO wrong. Sister-in-law screamed bloody murder. Husband awoke. Ran naked after stranger. Stranger wet his pants.
