A really scary day!

OMG! You must have been terrified! You poor child! I can't believe the realtor walked right in without calling.

I'm glad you did the right thing though - locked yourself in the bathroom and called the cops. That was very smart of you.

I'm glad everything turned out all right.

Omg, thats really scary. I wonder what the realtor was doing there without people and if maybe he was trying to steal some of your things.

You did the right thing

Don't be scared from ever staying home alone again. Just look how well you handled things!! Not all youngins are smart enough to do that!

I was about 14 when I ran into that kind of situation. I was home alone with my old dog. I already knew my dog would do everything to protect me, so I always felt safe at home with him. These 2 guys came up in a red truck. Max was already at the window stairing them down. He was grawling as he saw them walking up the driveway & into the backyard. He ran to the side window & was getting more upset, as he knew they were not suppose to be there. These guys were trying to get through the gate. My dog wanted into the backyard so I let him out. I knew he would set these guys right & boy did he ever... He charged the gate snarling!!! The guys left quickly!

Another time a guy tried to break into our house while my mom & I told the guy to go away. He refused & kept trying to open the door.. my dog was only 3 but he knew what to do.. I let him into the porch & Max was snarling & scratching the heck out of the window trying to eat the guy.. he took off too..

Now heres the funny part.. I always saw that guys car around town,as it was one of a kind... I was walking Max many years later downtown & I saw the car & the guy. Max new him right away.. Max started snarling & snapping up a storm.. usually hes never agressive on a walk, hes a big baby.. but my goodness, everyone feld from around us... Max would not let me go any further & he was forcing me to go another route... People that knew us asked what on earth was up with Max.. I said thats the guy who tried to break into our house years & Max still remembers him.


Dogs are smart, they'll keep you safe, esp. when they sence your scared to death. Do your dogs run loose? if so, for the next time your home alone, keep them in the same room with you... you'll feel safer.

In a couple days or weeks try being home alone again...

You must have been so scared. I don't know how you could live through that, but you did the right thing.

My goodness!!! I almost cannot believe your realtor came into your home without calling your parents! I am so glad that your pooches were there! Good dogs!

Hugs to you, that sounds quite scary! And treats for the pups for doing their job and protecting!

OMG, Kat you're so lucky I didn't come over! I would have panicked. Overall, at least everything turned out OK. But I still can't believe the Realtor never called your parents or anything.
