My neighborhood seems to have been the ground zero of thefts for awhile. It's usually someone going into houses thru the garages while the homeowners are doing yard work in their backyards.

Altho, lately people have been getting their cars broken into...one was the lady who we gave our puppy to earlier this summer. She left her car in our neighbors driveway while she went into the neighbor's house before coming to ours. Her wallet was stolen in the two or three minutes she was in the neighbor's house. (she never did pay us for the puppy...my dad didnt bug her for it either. He was just glad the puppy got a great home)

I really miss my big dog TinyMonsters. I never felt scared when he was around...and he slept on the floor in my room with me. If anyone ever tried coming in thru my window or the back door, they'd have had 100+ pounds of snarling black fur in their faces.

Now I'm a lot more nervous. If I wasnt allergic to dogs now and didnt have MS, I'd go get another Bouvier like Tiny. I'd never be scared with a Bouvier around.

My aunt just got a new puppy last week (a pug named Stella) so at least she's got a little barker to warn her if someone's going to be coming thru the door.
