Cold Sunday Discussion

A few days later I was away with truck, this time a Cat engine. Willie wanted out, same thing sat on step watching for half hour. The difference I was on a 15 mph gravel road and from the timing we decided 5 miles was about his range. You have your wife call you sometime let you know her progress on way home, I bet you will be surprised. This is precisely why they are so much better than alarms and lights.

On more than one ocasion I have been roused from whatever I am doing by my dog. Yes I have watched would be intruders fleeing on foot at the sound of the dog barking. Same when your not home, intruders are never absolutely sure the dog is alone. It is far better if he can't come in contact with them. My dog was loud enough when I was not home to rouse the neighbors.

Dog also seems to sence whether there is danger as well. If I felt there wasn't danger I used to let him out. Now there is a down side to this, called skunks, porqupines, etc. Luckily my dog never made those mistakes twice.

Theives definately don't like dealing with a dog they can't see.

Once he was reporting to police an attempt on his shop as he had seen the person and knew the identity. Police advice was to position himself where he could make a baseball swing with a 6' steel bar, catch the invader below the knees with the swing, and don't let him see you. And most of all never tell anyone. The officer as well knew the invader, and also knew the legal system never cured him.
