Good looking dogs, guys!
Our dog died about a month ago. Old age got him. He was half Dachshund and half Feist. He looked like a really tall solid black dachshund. He was one of those that would bark at a stranger while running away in reverse.
Since then I've been trying to get my wife to get another. I really want an Aussie Shepherd this time around. She's partial to the Yorkshire-type dogs.
With me working away from home so much (I leave for Rifle, Colorado in about an hour), I'd feel better if they had an early warning system in the house. I believe I'm gonna initiate a search for a new dog when I return home.

When I sent my first wife packing, I worked offshore (7/7). I didn't trust her, or her new friends, so I had to do something about home security. All I had was a new TV in my home (with a basket of potpourri on top), as I'd given her everything else just so she'd leave (that was the happiest day of my life). I kept my gun in the trunk of my car when I was offshore, and I just didn't have any other valuables.
So I went to Radio Shack and got a tabletop motion detector alarm with battery backup. I wired a 110 dB external siren and a flashing blue light to the aux. outputs. The whole setup cost me about $110 at that time (1994).
When I came home from offshore the following week, I found that my door had been pried open. The basket of potpourri was now on the floor in front of the TV. The TV was still there.
They must have been wearing heavy pants, because there was no urine or fecal matter on my carpet. But I'm sure they soiled themselves when that thing went off!
