Well thank you very much! He is also quite a bit bigger now since he just turned 2.
He pretty much handles anyone who rings the bell or knocks. I never see them before they go on to the next house as quickly as they possibly can.

Reports are they’re taking a few rounds trying this in some parts of Texas. That’s if they get past the 4 legged wireless alarms that attack strangers on command.
