Well visitors are always welcome! Just be sure not to drive through two states and knock in the middle of the night unannounced.

I don't have the problem of anyone making it to the door unanounced. The routine at my house is to pull up in the driveway and wait in your car with windows up until one of us comes outside to greet you. I have two pitt bulls, a pitbull/rotty mix{extremely impressive looking dog and a sweetheart} plus 6 pittbull/blue heelers that would tear your leg off. They fight as a team. Totally dedicated to us but not strangers. Once one of us is outside the dogs will obey our commands that it is alright. I feel safe in my home and if you did get past my dogs we have a number of firearms. All I can say if someone wanted to come in on me they better not be half stepping.

We have never had anything stolen and in this rural part of Alabama the theft record is high. I hadn't planned on having these breeds of dogs they are all throw aways that I took in and they earn there kibble everyday. I couldn't imagine life without them. Best security system around even if the insurance companys don't see it that way.

I've got one who would lick any intruder to death, another that is blind and would wander in circles trying to bite, maybe, and another that would pee ON the intruder's shoe.

Nahh....I'm much smarter than to pick a fight with law enforcement. They always win. I have had really good experiences with law enforcement- just some not so good ones with officers who issue tickets without cause.

A knock at my door brings a barage of barking dogs; its deafening actually. One big black dog would bite and two doxies are just there for back up.

Always announce yourself at Buster's place--and loudly

Sounds like my house.

Thank the Goddess there is not much crime here. But if your thinking you can just walk in to my place unannounced, you would be sorely mistaken.....Not only are we well armed....we can see you coming for miles and miles and miles........
I also have 7 dogs....4 Australisn Shepherd (the second best breed in the world), ! Chow Chow(the best breed in the world), and two mutts (the third best breed in the world)...they run in a pack around the property (except for the little one), they just dare someone unknown to enter! But if you honk, we tell them its ok and you are welcome...well maybe not by my Chow, but he will leave you alone......

I am thinking about getting an attack goose for chicken protection (from the dogs ect) what do you think?
