The other doggies were outside (it is summer here and they are outside during the warm weather) but they knew what was going on...Candy (the Maltese-JR cross) was freaked and is still showing signs of stress.
Puddin' is fussed over wherever she goes. I have a puppy purse and have already had people walk up in the mall and say "do you have a puppy in that purse? Can I see?" Yesterday our iron worker came to measure the house for bars and to beef up our security gates (the thieves actually kicked down a heavy-duty gate) and I was holding Puddin when I answered the door and he gushed like a little girl over her! He had brought his wife with him and kept saying to her "Now, isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen in yer life?" in his charming Scots accent.
Unfortunately, an alarm system wouldn't have helped us in this one because they entered through a fixed window...those are never alarmed...by chipping out the window putty and lifting out the window pane. We can't have passives in the house because the dogs will set them off.
Hubby is taking the day off from work to deal with the insurance, the maid should be here in an hour or so to put the house to rights, I'm still installing software on Hubby's old laptop so I can use it...and Puddin', of course, after spending another night tucked up with Mama and Papa, is sound asleep! |
