Also, here's a weird story....about 5 years ago when we weren't home, someone tried to break into our house in our kitchen nook - they got the screen off and the window up. As soon as that window went up, our alarm went off and it looked like he took off immediately. Luckily, our dogs were kept in our Master area. IF the dogs had been loose, I know they would've ran over to the window to say "hi" to the new stranger...and my fear is that the burglar would've snatched one of them up to sell. Scary thought, but so easily could've happened if they'd been loose. |
Of course - here's a completely opposite side to this story.....
Harry
used to have a pup-sitter called Paul, who looked after the pups in his own home.
One day, he had to pop out for an hour, and crated the 2 pups he was looking after at the time.
Unfortunately, his house must have been being watched....burglars broke in, took what they wanted (including his passport and holiday cash for the following week) - and then
stole both the pups,
in their crates....because they were so easy to lift, and easy pickings.....
I truly think there are pros and cons for both sides, unfortunately. Sally + Harry x
