Pretty gruesome! But even if they fell asleep with one on a lanyard ring around their wrist, it still may not have helped. Not much can help if a guy tees you up while you're snoring.

Dogs. Several of them. Loud, yappy little skittish terriers who will raise the alarm when somebody comes within 30 feet of the door. If you care about somebody, give them a Jack Russell and a .38. You'll close down Brinks and the local burglars in one fell swoop.

I prefer my German Shepherd Dog to a little yapper. Atleast she can bite the person if I don't wake up.

Not to mention people always tell us how when they knock they are always scared that she is going to break through the 2 panes of glass to get them. :what: And thats with people that she kinda knows. :eek:

Did you every own a Jack Russell? Would you give one to somebody you liked?

My daughter (who I'm writing out of my will) showed up on 2 January with a four-legged surprise. "Hi Daddy. His name is Sammy. He's 13 weeks. Bye!" He hasn't stopped bouncing yet....

Great watchdog. When a car stops at the STOP sign up the road (about a mile), we know about it....

However, I should add that he's either totally fearless or dumb. I took him to the vet about a month-and-a-half ago, and as we were leaving there were a couple of dogs in the waiting room big enough to saddle. He challenged them....

We love the little guy, but....

Not to veer off-thread for too long, but terriers don't start to mellow until they're about seven years old. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Back to the original topic: where's the media outcry? Where's Sarah? Where are the candlelight vigils and the pink-shirted mommies?

Oh, that's right. Guns kill people all by themselves, but it takes a human to wield a bat.
 
My thoughts exactly Monkeyleg

After reading some of the articles by the gun control crowd, I became so afraid :what: of my guns, I locked them up in a safe :neener: but I really screwed up, 'cause I wasn't thinking and accidently put some boxed ammo in the safe with them so now I'm afraid to open it!! :what: I'm sure they've loaded themselves and are just sitting there waiting for me to open the safe so they can jump out and go on a rampage with me being their first target!! :eek:

This is why I sleep in the basement...on the floor (very good for the back)...with several loaded firearms close by. They are going to need night vision, and ninja fu to sneak across creaky floorboards to get to me without waking me up...
 
Hmmm.... own a yippie terrier or get hit in the head with a bat...tough choice. :p
 
Until i moved out.....

I found that a shih-zu, a boston, 3 mastiffs, 2 labs, and a bloodhound puppy "carpet" made it pretty sure no one strange was gonna sneak up on me before i could get to ONE of my guns...

heh

J/Tharg!

PS that is unless they showed up w/ bologna or cheese.... <sigh> <rofl>
 
I think there could be a lot worse choices than a Jack Russel. My sister has 2 of them, they are playful, they aren't afraid of anything, and I can even sense an underlying viciousness to them. They aren't rotties or german shepards, but I would think that having one of them clamp down on one of your calves would pretty much ruin your day.
 
They had a dog. A little yappy one. The bad guys killed it too.

I work in the jail where three of the four are being held. Wish I could tell you some stories but I am sure to get in some sort of trouble if I do. I will say that monsters do exist and they wear the form of men.
 
Cracked Butt:

Agreed....

Sammy's girlfriend is a pit bull.

Or so I'm told - he vacations with my daughter, and her friends fight over who gets to take care of him. Somebody's got a pit bull (raised gentle) and I think Sammy _really_ enjoyed his February visit. The Police Reports aren't in from last weekend yet....

They're good watch dogs - territorial and observant, but I don't know if I'd bet on the clamping technique.

But, back to topic, about any yappy little dog that'll let you sleep in the absence of visitors makes a great alarm system, and that's where we're at here. Adding a real alarm and a .38 really helps....

As a personal note, the last dog was a coocoo spaniel. She had a slight problem differentiating between grass and carpeting, but the biggest problem was getting her to move when I tried to get into bed. Sammy, OTOH, is light enough to slide around. Now if I can teach him to get off the bed once in a while.... She was a good alarm too, but for about the first year didn't seem territorial at all. Then she figured that out. Sammy's the first puppy - the other two were about three when my wife and I got them. I'm too old for a puppy :D .
 
Yippy Terrier

Get a miniature dachsund. They're a little calmer than a terrier, and are excellent watchdogs. Of course they're also good for the occasional badger hunt :-D
