Its when I hear tales such as yours I realise the worth of our
otherwise
useless dog, he is quite large and has a bark you feel through the soles
of
your feet, the only intruder he has been called upon to deal with was
moving
so quick he was nearly 2 miles away by the time the police caught him
(of
course what the scallywag didn't know was the dog had to be woken up by
me
and dragged down stairs to do his bit!)


This was in the middle of the afternoon, with the nursery full of people.
The dogs *did* react, bless them, but we were trying to go for the 'quiet
life' approach until we saw how thoroughly our hospitality to our
customers
had been abused. And in fact, these weren't even customers - they came
in,
let the dog swim in the pond, the 'man' used the public loo and after a
few
short sharp words, they left.


You mean they didn't even stop for your excellent tea and cake, total
morons! :-)
