I have a friend here (that is an officer) that told me having dogs is safer than an alarm system. He said if your house is broken into and the alarm goes off,it tells the bad guys that they have 10 or 15 mins to do whatever. If a bunch of dogs live there,they will move onto another house. When we moved in ,many years ago,there was a sign on the back stormdoor that said "protected by Smith and Wesson". We just left it up. |
