I don’t let *any* delivery people inside my house.

Ever.

Case in point, DirecTV installers are contracted by the company and they come from all over the place, not just “local installers”.

I have made them stand outside the window, telling me what buttons to push, etc, rather then letting them inside.

And the whole time, the Dobes were in the room, looking out, watching their every move.

I don’t give a flying flip what “color” some stranger is.

The issue is that they *are* a stranger.

Anybody who is half awake and aware has read news stories of burglaries done by “deliverymen” who came back later, when no one was home.

Screw that.

I bet they didn't argue with you very much about not being let in.

So... how's the boa you rescued doing ?
