News about the breakin

[stacwase]

Remember when I told you about the guy breaking in our house and our dogs waking us up and not letting him move?

Well - it turns out he wasn't just a drunk who accidentally came home to the wrong house, like we so naively assumed. We found out today that he doesn't live anywhere remotely near our neighborhood - he lives in a town a few miles from here.

And since he wasn't robbing us I can't come to any other conclusion than that he was here to hurt somebody - most likely our 16-year-old daughter.

The more I think about it, the scarier it gets. Thank God for the dogs - especially Jake. Max would have killed him if he'd tried anything, but Jake's the one who woke everybody up. When we got downstairs, he was close to the staircase, and now I think he was probably getting ready to go up them.

Those doors are never going to be unlocked again.

Woo hoo, Jake is a hero! Good thing nothing bad happened! How would he have known about your daughter? Ooh, maybe I shouldn't even ask. The possibilites are frightening! You don't think he could be a stalker or something, do you?

And I always want to whack the owners who make their pets get surgery to take out their vocal cords so they can't make noise. I always say it may cost them in the long run. What if someone breaks in, or there's a fire? Barks are good for something! I guess you found that out!

scary!!!
i guess i missed somthing it's so nice to have pets than protcet you in the house. it makes me feel alot safer just knowing they are there..

In the Seattle area there have been a rash of home invasion type robberies where they come into your house while you sleep and come to your bed and stick a gun in your face. I assured Katz that there is NO WAY that is happening to us with our dogs, as soon as they mess with a door or window these girls will go off! The new girl Lucee seems really protective, so we are covered. Here's to all our canine protectors, good job Max and Jake!!!!!!....tom

We live in a very small town, and the town that he's from is close to our town. My daughter is unusually attractive. I think he may have seen her. He was in a bar here in town before he came over here, so we're thinking about going to that bar and talking to one of the bartenders who we're friends with to find out more about him.

We didn't even press charges - we'are so stupid, we just assumed it was an accident. But the cops caught him right after he broke into somebody elses house, and those people did press charges. He got 14 days in jail and probation and a $750 fine.

I just can't even imagine what would have happened if he had made it up the stairs. Thank God for the dogs.

I would! I'd let the bartender know what happens. That is so scary. I am very glad that the dogs stopped him.

I remember you telling us about that, too scarry! I'd be making sure those new locks you put on are in use all the time now!

[lovemyshiba]

Oh Thank God for Jake and Max!!!!!!

I guess you'll never know what his intentions were, and the more you imagine, the scarier it gets. Fortunately, you have 2 angels there to protect the family.

Big hugs for Jake and Max!!!!
Keep those doors locked!!!

I don't know how far someone would get in our house--Riley's hearing is so good, he is always the first to hear something, but all he has to do is let out a little huff, and the other 3 are all going. Riley would probably lick an intruder to death, but Kito wouldn't let anyone in--no way. I'm assuming Jada would protect us as well, she sleeps at the bottom of the bed or by the door, always on alert.

[Foam]

Oh my gosh!! That is just too scary..
It's such a releif to find out that you all are okay.

Thank the lord for Jake and Max!! Jake's a HERO! **hugs to the dogs**

[stacwase]

Yes - Jake is our hero. He knows it, too - his attitude has changed since the breakin! He's all cocky and doesn't take anything from Max.

[micki76]

We’ve had a lot of home invasion here, too. The most recent was a 60+ year old woman who the thieves tied up and put in the trunk of her Cadillac. They told her they were taking her to the country to kill her. Well, she worked her hands free and pulled the escape latch in her trunk. She jumped out of the car going 45 mph+! She had been beaten and was hurt fairly badly by the escape, but she’s alive!
