I really did not intend to make anyone upset with my post. As I said I am just touchy about it. I will be honest the sentence "I wouldn't put it past the maint. people for a minute! " by ORLNURSE was what leapt out at me. I did not mean to attack anyone either. I just wanted to point out not to auto assume it was the maintanence men. Anyone in the office has keys to all the homes. SORRY!

As I also sd do not take chances. I just sd to my daughter the other day, locks only keep out honest people. If I came home and one of my dogs were missing I would be crazed. Fortunetly most of our neighbors are family. When we have workers in for any reason, my hubby is always here for the appt. So please forgive me.

You definity have every reason to be concerned, you wouldn't let these people alone with your children either and unfortunatly some people will do anything for money. Have you considered voicing your concerns to management at your complex or telling them that you overheard them talking about your dog that way? The office may need a client to voice a complaint before they can take action....just a thought to help save other dogs who's owners may not realize who they are letting in their home.

I understand, I see what you are saying BUT there is bad in everyone it doesn't matter what they do. I wasn't trying to offend your DH in what he does. I was upset and mad about the two men in general. Any job in my eye ( if it is legal) deserves respect, bc no matter what it is you are out there working, and not sitting at home collecting welfare or w.i.c.

So lets just forgive and forget here. Me, personally have mood swings b/c of my pain, ( i am working on that) so I never mean to be mean to anyone or hurt anyones feelings! We are a family here!


On another note, DH talked to the office and talked to the maintance guys. Dh said his honest opinion is they wont try anything. Before all this happened the morning of DH was leaving and ran into the manintace guys coming to our place ( i was sleeping) DH gave the guy 20 bucks and said thanks the maintance guy said " no you don't have to do that" and DH said no putting a water heater in is hard work.. just get lunch on me!

So DH doesn't think they will do anything. Maybe I was over doing it, but it just didnt sound right.. I don't know.. I am reallllly overprotected over my baby (pnut) he is my everything, if I were to loose him I would a mess! So the thought of someone taking him urked me, that is all!!

I think you did the right thing do not let them in if you are not there. I don't let Patches out of sight.
