Of all the nerve!
Well we were sitting at the kitchen table when we heard a noise in the hall. We went to look and low and behold there were 3-4 ladies in my garage coming in the door with all 4 dogs there, the nerve!!!!!!!! I knew that they were preaching because of the bibles. I slamed the door as they were trying to let the dogs out. Are they nuts!!!! I usually don't leave the garage door open but it was better to let Lyn and out. Lyn could not get over their actions. Angain the never of them. Signs are made and going on the doors! Hope this stops them. P.S. pics will be up soon from our visit. |

They were coming in your house???  |
| Oh my gosh, do I feel for you!!
I had a similar experience recently
I had a terrible migraine, so I decided to get into a hot shower (that helps sometimes) and left the dogs out in the fenced yard to play. Suddenly, I heard them barking frantically, and my first thought (since we live in a fairly remote area) was ONG! BEAR!  ...So I jumped out of the shower, throwing on a robe (thank goodness!) and ran out just in time to see two women at the top of the outdoor stairs opening the gate! 
Now...to understand how bad this was, you need to realize that my stairs are VERY steep, and quite rickety (we are replacing them this fall) and Bert has a bad habit of jumping up on people if he's excited! Also one of these stupid women looked to be about 80 years old!!!
I opened the door already yelling...even before I spotted the bibles  . I must have looked, and sounded like a maniac, but all I could think of was Bert knocking this elderly lady head over heels down those stairs!!! It easily could have broken her neck. Fortunately I was able to grab him. Abby, at this point was growling, having taken her que from me, that these were BAD people . The women left...my voice ringing in their ears, Im sure  Not to mention the undoubtedly scary vision I must have been...soaking wet, my hair standing up all over, and my robe barely closed 
Signs are going up here too...the wording Im considering is: Friends and Studio customers welcome! Proselytizers and Solicitors: KEEP OUT! An acquaintance of mine who is a Jehovah's Witness tells me that they are told to respect posted signs to keep out. We'll see, I guess. I dont usually have this problem since our home is pretty much in the boonies, but, better safe than sorry. |
I get these people at least once a week. Your right on the signs. I live on a very busy RT. 
they could have killed any of the dogs!!!! |
| If people are trying to get into your home, you need to call the police. |
And that's another reason we keep the gates locked at all times 
Dogs barking their heads off at the gate may seem rude........good! You are right, the nerve! |
| Deana's right - It was unbelievable.
There they were, standing on the top step right AT the screen door with their hand on the handle! All 4 dogs were going nuts and those women were STILL intent on preaching to us. I don't know which church they were from. One of them even said 'This door doesn't latch right'. Well, DUH, obviously the very real possibility of 4 large dogs getting out and knocking them down wasn't a deterrent. The only way Deana could get rid of them was to close the door in their faces. Had they let the dogs out, with the garage door wide open, they could have run out onto the highway and been seriously hurt or killed. If that had happened, even God couldn't have helped them because they would have had to deal with me |
| I am not making light of this at all, but you need Max around. If you remember, he peed all over the shoe of a gal once. Since he can't hold it when he is excited, he has the fire hose thing goin' on. One good dose of pee in the shoe, and the word must spread. We haven't been bothered in a long time. |

My Mum had a little Aussie terrier who was VERY territorial.
No one was allowed in our yard without our permission. He ran along behind strangers snapping at their ankles. He never touched anyone but you could hear his teeth snapping in between the hysterical barking and growling. He chased one preacher down the driveway and then word must have spread around our country town. Because having had regular visits for years we had none again for many years after the dog had crossed the bridge. They're back now. My Mum wants Jeffie back to guard the front yard. He seemed to recognise people who came to preach and give them an extra loud ear full. |
| This makes me so mad Probably even more so because we have been having problems with the local Jehovah's Witnesses since we've moved. I won't get into it, because I'll be steaming all day but he's been harassing us to the point that we've had to threaten him with police action and I've had to change the route of my walk with Bally because he now waits outside his house to give me another earful, as if coming to my home wasn't bad enough
Darn, I might go have a cup of tea and settle down again |

Lol Lol Lol I wish I'd thought of that! Loki is willing to pee on just about anything................He's never peed on a person, but there's always a first time  A 100 dog lifting his leg on you is not something most people would stick around for, I'm thinkin'. Knowing Loki, though, he just would have licked them, and the last thing they need is any encouragement. |
