| More than a burglar, I am more worried about fires. I would definitely suggest you get an monitor alarm system just in case of fire. That is my biggest fear more than anything. I have a monitored system that calls out to the fire department as soon as the smoke detector goes off. I also have a sticker on my front and back storm doors alerting them that animals are inside. |

| A break-in is one of my worst fears. If you google "lost Yorkies" and read about Yorkies that are lost or about thieves breaking in homes and taking yorkies and how the owners are desparate to get them back, its just heart breaking. I don't know why I torture myself reading does Ads () Unfortunately, my babies would absolutely welcome any one that breaks into my house. I can see them now showering them with kisses ..ugh..

| I think everyvody has the same fear. Our house has a alarms also but I still worry. Thank goodness most of our accessable entrys are behind our 7 foot privacy fence and the window that on in the front are night next to an ex cop who has a security camera and he constantly monitors the camera from his home. We also have 2 basset hounds who would rip someone's arm off if they tried to mess with babies. |

| I too have been through a break in and I know exactly how you are feeling. I got lucky, they left Rosie here. Thank God. Over reacting? Nope not at all. I insisted on a security system too. I am really glad that I did. I will tell you it is money well spent. The initial cost is pricey but the monthly fees really are not that bad. Do go with a reputable company. My mom and dad got the shaft from a well known security company. Because they don't do the monitoring. Instead they "sell it" to someone else. I would say go for it and get one. Peace of mind is worth a lot.

| When I put my coat on, she attacks the sleeves! It was scary. Very scary. They left my back door wide open and she never left the house. I am so lucky to still have her.

| Kaos and Rosie are a little more alike than I thought. Kaos got out of the yard as a baby and got more than two blocks away when a neighbor saw him and brought him home... before I even knew he was gone. It sounds like we were both VERY lucky.

| Yes, we are! You are lucky he was returned. So many dishonest people might have kept him.

| Oh I know I am so thankful every time I see them. They have a 3lb little girl, named Ginger, Kaos loves her so much if there front door is open, he runs upstairs in there home like he lives there! It was SO embarrassing the first time he did it.

| I worry about this too! Luckily when I am at school, or my part time job, my mom is almost always home with ozzy. But I do worry about the times when I stay up late and ozzy has been laying on the couch while im doing things so I have to take him outside to pee and its late and dark out and when we just go out for short potty breaks he isnt on a leash because I just follow him and he is so scared of outside at night time he wont go anywhere that I am scared that someone could come into my yard and take him. Luckily theres always a neighbor outside when we go out and we have cameras out front, beside the house, the back yard, garage, facing the pool, and one in the house so I think we will be okay. |

| I often worry a little bit about someone stealing Kaos in the Subway's or in a big crowd in the City. My biggest worry is fires though! If I ever leave Kaos alone in my APT I generally go around unplugging everything. LOL.. I thought I was the only paranoid one.

| Please be careful with those stickers they will also alert dishonest people to the fact that you have yorkies in your house. I used to have them in my front window and in the window of our 18 wheeler but realized I may just be inviting someone to steal them. So sad that something that is supposed to be good could also harm them.
