Update

Ok.
I gots to tell you something freaky.
When I was cleaning out Ricky's kennel from this morning's debacle, I thought I heard someone moving around outside, which would be odd at 5 A.M. I wasn't too awful worried (partially because I was cleaning up diarrhea and partially because I had my dog and a husband with a gun not far away). I gave Ricky the command to danger bark at ANY noise, but he looked a little confused after awhile and I pushed it aside thinking I was being paranoid. Still, I hurried up and finished cleaning, locked my doors and went back to bed.
Just now someone posted on the neighborhood Facebook page that someone tried to break into their backyard and their dogs scared away the intruder that was gouging holes in the fence trying to get in. And another just said they saw someone creepy hanging around their street!
Glad I have someone watching out for me!
