Believe me I know how scary that is!!! It just happened to me too!!!! Its 11:30 and I'm waiting on DH to get home from work and my doorbell rings and I hear all this banging at my front door!!!


I grabbed my phone and turned on ALL my outside lights and I peak out my window and noone is there.


now that I calmed down I figure it was neighborhood kids but darn was it scary!!

Oh my gosh! That would have been so scary. I'm glad it was just your dog! By the way, she's very, very pretty.

Or there was someone there, the dog heard them and scared them away so that by the time you opened the doors the dog was sitting there.

 

[can you hear me now?]

yup, I would have answered the door with a gun. Nobody expected to come over so if there is someone they get to see that I don't fool around. I also live in the country and beleive wholeheartedly in protecting my family. Only thing I am suggesting is that you get copy of keys to gun cabinet so one of you two always know where one is. Sorry your doggy scared you, would have given me the willeys.

* We once had a neighborhood kid cutting through yards and peeping in windows-- until he got to my house. Lol! I don't have a gun, but I realized he was there and suddenly jumped to the window, screaming at the TOP of my lungs, "Get the (bleep) out of my yard, you little (bleep-bleep) freak!!!! LOL!! He almost killed himself running away. I reported him, too.

Now I'm getting scared again. We actually thought that - that's why hubby went out in yard to look around. Not that we thought cute little Scarlett scared them off but that our big scary GSD Rex and our other big dog, Lucy might have come around and scared them off. Of course if anyone took a look at Rex he was probably wagging his tail and had a ball or two in his mouth begging the axe murderer to play ball.

Thats funny. My dog learned to go to the bed room window and look in at us, if we left her outside. That got my wife wound up a few times. She a black lab, so all you see is gold eyes looking in!

We got her because we have kids running through our yard. I talked to one of the parents about it. They guaranteed they wouldn't cut through the yard any more. That lasted a week.

* My parents used to joke that the akita/wolf mix we had when I was a kid only protected people and not property. Would likely just do his darndest to lick burglers to death if none of us were home. If any of us were home though, they wouldn't make it far at all!!

I wasn't trying to scare you but when you have doubts about the dog being able to turn a key to ring a bell without having opposing digits,, then more than likely the dog wasn't ringing the bell. Most intruders will run at the sight of a dog, they don't know that the dog wants to play unless they know the dog. I speak from experience.
