If you are a female will you allow someone over to your house if there is not a man home?
There have been a couple times I have but ...idk Im kind of growing uneasy about allowing other men to come to my house without my SO home.
If I did wait for him it would take forever to sell animals because he doesnt usually get home till dark and we are gone most days on the weekends.
What do yall do?

Selling your Animals while home Alone
If you are a female will you allow someone over to your house if there is not a man home?
Sure will. I'm an adult though. I do martial arts and have a cattle dog who has proven herself to be more than a worthy guardian of both my husband and myself. I also am pretty darn good at reading people in person.
However, I don't let strangers in even when he is home. X) If you don't have an appointment, forget about either of us even answering the door.
No, I generally don't even answer the door unless my husband is home. I'm a small lady with small kids and small dogs, and the guns are unloaded because of the kids, so it makes more sense to wait for my hulking he-man to come home. Especially because most of my dealings are on Craigslist and there are plenty of weirdos there, hiding among all the normal folks. Ha!
I'm sorry. I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

You are perfectly sane to be concerned. I NEVER allow a strange man (hardly ever a woman either) over to my house without my husband being here. When I have a private lesson I always take my husband with me if the client is a single male, or a married man but no one else will be home for the appt. When I had my GSD I was more lax about it, but without him and having my daughter with me at all times I don't take chances.

Its just not a good idea to have stranges come to your house.. i usually try to meet them at store parking lots,.. OR what we USUALLY do is just deliver the animal ourselves...
That way i can SEE where my animal is going anyways...

Always let them know that the gate stays locked and the dogs are loose. And in my conversation tell them (Self preservation is number 1 always). That is what my Dad taught me. And yes, I am licensed to carry in Florida. And let them know we are a tight neighbor group, we all keep a lookout on each other.
