I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me
Well, apparently someone would really like to get into our house. While we were away at Cherokee last week, someone tried to break into outr house. They didn't get in, thank goodness, but it still has me concerned.
When we got home I noticed that there was an eaten apple core by the reindeer outside the house. Strange, but it shouldn't be there. We don't live in a neighborhood so there is no reason for anyone to be throwing apples in the yard. We live a good 100 feet from the road. But I didn't think too much about it at the time. When I went to the store a little later I noticed that there was a large dent in the door knob.
When I got hoem I mentioned it to Alpha Male. Upon further inspection, it was obvious that someone tried to pry both the front and back doors open. Of course we have double key entry deadbolts so that was a no go, but it still scared the heck out of me. We have windows right on the deck, so if they really want in there is no way to stop them.
So now I am paranoid. We have the house locked up like fort Knox at night and are sleeping with the bedroom door open so we can hear better. We are considering a seciruty system and are also looking into getting a dog too. Ever since I had to give Shorty away I have been uneasy about not having a dog around. Even if we end of getting a little froo-froo ankle biter. At least we would know if there is someone outside.
I can't stand not feeling safe in my own home.

OMG - I'm just glad you weren't home!!
That is so scary - I would definately look into an alarm system soon!
I didn't think you lived in an area that there would be a lot of crime?
