Someone broke in!

[PA2Ind]

At 4am I was awoken byy my dog barking. My dinning room window was wide open and my blinds and curtains were ripped down. I and my wife were armed the whole time. I cleared the house at gun point and found my back door open. Everyone is ok vut we are shook up. I heard the person leave, so close to using it...

Sounds like your dog earned his keep. I hope he is getting some Beggin' Stripes soon.

So glad that you and yours are ok. I will assume that you have finished with the police report?

I'm glad you are alright. Make sure you file a report. I really wish I had a good dog in addition to my alarm system. Get the dog a nice treat.

Dogs can be a useful deterent! We had some unknown approach our front door yesterday afternoon. Our storm door is always locked and the GF asked me to corral the two labs so she could answer the door. I told her to just open the main door and let the dogs do what dogs do when strangers knock on the door for two reasons, it'll discourage the unknown from lingering if he's legit and it'll distract him from the .45 backing up the dogs if his intentions aren't pure!

Crazy thing is: its a chuiuaua(spelling) lol I knew he was a great dog, but now... He even cleared the exterior of the house with me.

Aren't dogs great??? We love ours. Even though she's not a guard dog by any stretch of the imagination, she's an awesome alarm. Heck, we live in town--on a corner lot--and somehow she just knows when someone steps into the yard and does not hesitate to let us know it.

I'm glad you are all OK.

I have read somewhere that neer-do-wellers fear the presence of the little dogs more than the larger breeds due to their propensity to vocally carry on in reaction to all things real and imagined. I guess when you weigh 5 lbs, you use what you got...

 

[kjf40]

You know it shouldnt, but sometimes it still amazes my what some jackwagons will do and risk to break into someone else house and steal their hard earned belongings instead of try to get a job or better them selves in some way.

Glad you family is ok.

Dogs are probably the best #1 defense for a home. Well #2, the #1 would be a sign at your door that says beware of dog. When a burglar see's that sign and doesnt believe it, then he /she will be met by a 100lbs male pit bull tearing their azz up and then a 60lb female pit bull licking their wounds like they are her pups. Thats pretty sad I have 1 pit that will literally tear you up and another that will baby you.

 

[Valvestate]

Glad you're ok. I think the dog could use some

Chi-wa-was act like they are much bigger than they really are. I had one that was fearless and thought he was a Rottweiler.

 

[hps]

Ur dog needs to be rewarded!! Knuckle bone!!

 

[lucky4034]

Hell yeah!! Glad to hear everything is ok.... I have a little terrier and he is a great little alarm dog.

If he can give me a 5 second head start, thats about all I need....

 

[gunman41mag]

No one has asked this question, but was anything stolen

 

[youngda9]

Buy that Chihuahua a porterhouse as big as he is.

Beggin' Stips hell ..... he needs REAL BACON

I agree chihuahuas are fearless. I don't care much for the breed myself but I can't say anything against the resolve of the little ankle-biters! He deserves something good as reward.
I was wondering too if anything got stolen or did the thief get frightened off before he could grab anything!
Are your guns locked up tight? He might be back at a later time!
Any ideas who it was? Local kids or neighbor? Or is your house removed from other houses and just looked inviting?
Can I advise getting a sticker that says ADT or some other security system even if you don't have the system yourself? Sometimes that can be a deterrent. Also motion activated porch lights.
