You have a point. Several years ago, some badasses lived near here. They are now being managed by the state. Breakins, day and night, happening all over the neighborhood. One, during the day, happened to a neighbor just to the west of me. He had a pack of yip-yip toy poodles...I mean, these mutts would run to their fence and bark at me, whenever I stepped in my yard to smoke a stogie. His wife was home, asleep, during the break-in. The yip-yip poodles never made a sound....
Funny thing. With my "protected by" sign out front, I wasn't hit by these punks. Neither was the neighbor across the road, who had 2 BIG dogs.... I mean BIG..."Elliot", the biggest, was 185 pounds. Very scary to look at...but if you knew him? He might lick you to death...
