As the proud owner of a beagle, let me tell you that NOTHING, and I mean absolutly NOTHING, from the tiniest field mouse to 20ft Cyborg Zombie Grizzly Bears from Outer Space can get within 100 ft of the house without everyone in the house knowing about it. (Insert dog barking his fool head off smilie here) (As a side note: He has also tried to woe the Grayhound bitch down the street without much success, but I’m sure he’ll enjoy hearing about the father of Werewolf’s dog. 
)
As far as what happens next;
First, I get the Mossy 500 that is stored cruiser ready. If the dog is going nuts at the back of house/back door that means that bogies have scaled a 6ft solid wood fence as the gates are locked (so that my 5 year old son doesn’t let himself and the dog out to wander the neighborhood.)
Kids get gathered up and placed behind the bed with Mrs. Scout in master bedroom. Gun safe gets opened and firearms/ammo start getting handed out. Mrs. Scout gets her 20 ga 500, My 12 yo daughter gets her 20 ga Bantam 500, (Along with a couple of boxes of #4 buck for them to share). Since my son got a Rossi Single Shot combo in .410/.22LR, we might just break that out (just so he has something to do/hold onto). I might also grab the 1911 w/ the 5 loaded mags, especially if there were indications that they were already in or attempting to enter the Scout26 abode. (then I also stay in the bedroom.)
911 call to the police, easiest way to do this is dial 911 and drop the phone on the table or floor (that way everything gets recorded too), Lots of police show up in about 5-10 minutes (Found this out when my daughter was 4 or 5 and they taught her about 911 in pre-school, she tried it a home, dialed 911 and hung-up when they answered. It’s funny now, it wasn’t funny then.
)
Mrs. Scout will also have cell phone from next to the bed and will also call 911 but she will stay on the line.
Dog will already be at the appropriate window/door nearest to bogies. I lock the bedroom door behind me and then position myself to maintain observation of said bogies and still cover avenue(s) of approach to “The Alamo”. A Password must be used to approach door to the “Alamo”. If the BG(s) managed to get by the dog, and me with the ~5+ rounds of #4 buck/slugs/00 buck from 12 ga Mossy don’t stop them , then I imagine that the last thing they would see would be two 20 ga shotgun barrels spitting out ~10+ rounds of #4 buck from behind a queen sized bed as they burst into the master bedroom.
If the BG’s survive all that, then heaven help the Police when they show up.

1) grab pistol, cell phone and light.
2) get upstairs
3) Assume defensive postion, dominating the stairwell.
4) hand cell phone off to family member have them raise the PD and inform them of the entire senario, including me and my postion, so they don't come in room clearing and waste my ass.
I see a lot of people saying call the police frist. I would wait to call the police imo until your faimly is gathered and accounted for and you've have assumed a defensive postion. While they are entering your house is no time to be gabbing on the phone with a dispatcher, while trying to prepare to have to shoot some one.

1) Chamber a round (if pistol is not cocked and locked already, which it should be. Undo safety.). Check mags.
2) Secure everyone in the house.
3) Assume defensive position at the door or upstairs looking downstairs.
4) Get one of the people to call 911. If alone call 911 yourself. Make sure the situation and defensive position is explained. Make sure police is informed that you're armed and ready.

Shrug. Put on pants. Put on holster. Get & Check Saiga-12. Get & Check 1911. Put 1911 in holster. Put cellphone in pants. Observe from window.
If they try to get in the house, call the cops. Otherwise play Battlefield 2 until I'm tired again.

I call 911.
Get my Mossberg 500 with 00 Buckshot.
Find a position that gives me cover & a good line of fire to the door.
If my family is in the house, I get to them & protect them.
Wait for cops if possible.

1) Wake wife up and have her stand by with cell phone in bed room
2) Retrieve loaded 12ga from beside bed
3) Chamber round, add one more of 00 buck to magazine
4) Watch from kitchen window
5) If they attempt to enter house, shoot.... If not watch till they leave area.
6) Drink a few beers and relax till able to go back to sleep
Fortunately all that is required in Louisiana is that I "must reasonably believe that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave."

My alarm clock wouldn't be off (it is plugged into a UPS), but the UPS beeping would wake me up. Oh, and I'm in an apartment for the next few months, so no backyard per se, but assuming I saw unidentifiable figures apparently up to no good, I'd make sure my wife is set with her cellphone and her .380, then I'd get my .45 ready (no shotguns available in the igloo yet), and use my spotting scope to try to identify the unknowns from my window. I'd think utility engineers would act different than prospective burglars.
I'm going to be installing a auto-on generator for my house which would include motion-detector floodlights on the always-up circuits, so bad guys probably wouldn't hang out in my backyard anyway.

No cell phone here.
I guess it's just me and my gun. Oh well, that's life.
I had a cell phone. I threw it in the bay.
Someone will call the cops from their cell phone when they hear the shots, as I live in an apartment.

Scout26,
Why only one beagle? Even I have 2 (apparently I wasn't thinking at the time, but I've got 2).

What is up with the posters who would have the safety off already? Stay safe. They are in the backyard and you can see them. If you need the safety off, there will be plenty of time for that.

hm.. i live in a high-traffic area in los angeles, so this happens a lot
(albeit they don't actually get into my back yard)
there's often people who wander around the front of the house or try to climb over the 6 1/2 foot concrete wall that separates the back yard from the gas station on the next street over (which is a major blvd). You know, people trying to take a shortcut. those who actually manage to get over it look down and are always deeply dismayed to find that the yard is completely dark and there are many unforgiving thick, gnarled, rose bushes directly underneath...
anyway, my perimeter alarms would first go off (battery powered, can't be see easily in dark). if it's a beeping sound, it's the back yard. if it's a chime, it's the front yard. the middle yard (the only yard that is directly connected to my room) cannot be accessed without tripping either alarm multiple times. incidentally, the alarms are separate systems. the dog, sleeping at the foot of my bed, would immediately start growling (about 60lbs, primitive breed). i'd cuss for a bit, then put on my glasses and tennis shoes by bedside (remember die hard? ouch.) my sig p228 is already loaded on a gel nightpad next ot my glasses, so i don't worry about picking it up. the bedroom door is also locked, so i've got some time. chamber a round, decock.
buckle on belt and holster (which includes mag holster), holster the sig. pick up black bear's mag 951 which lies next to sig. put on my tac muffs.
here's where it gets tricky. if i actually SEE three guys in my back yard, I go straight to B. if i only hear an alarm, however:
a. call 911. open bedroom door, let dog out. crosshold and wait for eyes to adjust to dark from behind cover. cover long hallway. my only worry at this point will be that my roommate won't wake up until i start shooting. considering that he spends all of his money on expensive katanas, however, he's not much use anyway. the dog will probably wake him in time to clean up... wait until they leave.
b. dial in last number on safe, remove benelli m1s90. load 5 shells. strap on body armor. strap on russian milsurp helmet. throw on dutch mil jacket and fill pockets with shells. stay put. call 911.

What I would do
Well, if you live in suburbia as I do, you're not on a huge lot. Therefore, the dark figures would be tipped off to my situation by the following
1. My dogs would be yapping loudly, they have different tone when they sense danger. I notice it, most don't, they are my dogs after all, this would signal me to proceed to number 2.
2. I would loudly cycle a shell into the pump 12 ga, this does wonders to get peoples attention in a hurry, even if you hear it through a window.
3. Give the chambered .45 and surefire light to my wife....remind her of the safety.
4. Remind my wife, we have insurance, we're covered, they can take all they want until they try to come into the house. And if they do, we have to feel that our life is in danger before we ventilate some deserving dark figure.
5. Release the vicious dog into the yard, leave the other with my wife.
6. Call the cops, have them take their sweet time because no violent crime is occurring, privy the dispatcher to the fact that I am armed....that always speeds the LEO response time considerably.
..............wait 15 minutes for LEO to show up and confirm nothing because the perps would be gone, these types don't want to be brash, they are usually trying to steal stuff (portland oregon area, usually Meth-Heads), or perpetrate a sex crime. Hard to get this stuff quietly with dogs yapping, it attracts attention and my neighbors all know that if my dogs are going off that bad, they should have a look.
I've been unfortunate enough to have "dark figures" on my property a few times in my years. And the dog has always been plenty to avert them. On one occasion, I let the dog out the back door after hearing the back porch creak, and she bolted like greased lightning. She was gone for 15 minutes, the prowler never returned from his routine visits. I asked my dog what happened, she didn't want to talk about it. I think she caught up to the prowler and worked it out with him....Good DOG!
On another incident, I woke to an image of the same dog diving at the window next to the bed. I opened my eyes to see someone trying to wiggle the screen out of the window right next to the bed. Lucky for him my dog did not get it out, she would have enjoyed chewing his butt up, then I'd probably be liable for hurting this guy who was going to rob my family or perpetrate much greater sins against us.
Man I miss that dog! She passed away a couple years back, have yet to find a worthy replacement, so now we have two.

Hmmm...
Well, first thing to do would be to ask how long I've been asleep, and how much trouble I'm in, since I work deep nights
Easy; pick up the 1911, cock it, and grab the night vision to make sure it's not the landlord. Then worry about crossfire when he realizes there are targets between our houses. At some point it will probably occur to me to wonder what large figures in light black would look like.

I would turn on the illumination on the AK optics and wait for them to attempt to gain entry into the house. Might put on hearing protection as well if I had the time.

1.) Call my neanderthal, weight-lifting brother (who I thought was the only person in the world who spent all his money on fancy katanas, btw...) upstairs, let him know whats going on.
2.) Grab 1911 and extra mags, wake up fiance at the same time and get her into a safe area of the apartment with neanderthal brother and his cache of bladed weapons
3.) Open upstairs window, ask them what they're looking for, to identify themselves, etc...
4.) If I dont get a response, or one that sits well with me (living in an apartment complex in a decent part of town, my first thought would probably be that it was security or police, or maybe the neighbors looking to see whats going on), hand off cell phone, take prone/defensive position at the top of the stairs, and cover stairwell. Inform brother and fiance of situation, inform them to call 911 if / when shots are fired.
5.) Turn on lights - incase I have to fire I dont wanna be blinded by the flash - and see what develops... Say quick prayer for those who are about to die, take note of any useful cover incase I need to retreat during the fight.
6.) if said people enter my home - punch .45" diameter holes COM, and reapeat as needed... After the fight, smoke a cig, and prepare for a long night of 'questioning.'
btw, if this happens after Christmas, I'll have enough guns to arm my brother, and the fiance will have her own.. in that case, entirely different battle plan
