Some gaurd dog Nicki is. All the cats are present and accounted for (except Allen but I'm not gonna worry about him since he's been hiding al week becauseI've been medicating him) Flutter refuses to come out of hiding. She's really freaked.

We think they knew us, since it was obvious they knew what they were after. They were not afraid of nicki in the least. They had to know she was a nice dog. They went through the whole downstairs. Bypassed hubby's NEW laptop. Bypassed Ashley's NEW Canon camera. They passed two credit cards sitting on my desk (not that there's any available money on them, but they missed them!) They went straight for MY jewelry. and took my camera since it happened to be sitting right in plain view a few feet away from my jewels. Oh whoop-dee-doo. Such extravagant jewels I had. All I care about are my wedding bands and my college ring (an awesome tanzanite and diamond piece) Still, I'm adding the list up for the police and I'm actually amazed at the price that they amount to! I have NO pictures of my jewels. I photographed them once but deleted the photos for some insane reason.

and I want my camera!!!

Oh, but everyone is perfectly safe. Ashley went shopping with her sister and a friend. She took the baby with her. I had ot go take care of the cats at the adoption center.... and for some strange reason, I MADE hubby go with me. He NEVER goes to help me with the shelter cats. I shudder to thnk what might have happened if Ash or hubby were home alone while this happened. So thank God we're all safe. All they took are possessions. We can replace them and move on.

Still, it seems as if not for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all!
