It won't. My Grandma had a sign that said "Shh, Day Sleeper" (my Grandpa was a trucker) and they still rang the bell. The worst were the Jehovah's Witnesses who would come to her house on Easter and Christmas.

Well, I always did want a boxer...

There's also a Monica Font out there.

OK, I admit, I didn't get it until I clicked the link. It is actually called "Monica's Dress". EWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Are you sure?

I think you are right on (along with George), I wouldn't want to plan a will for my dog like some bird owners need to do!

[CSM]

I get a chuckle just thinking about mine doing that. But, it is always a pleasant surprise when you see their instincts automatically kick in. I don't get mine to water or woods very often, but she goes into automatic mode when we do get the chance. I can imagine that it would work the same if I were ever threatened.

I would have never fallen for the "hug" BS, but if some salesman had tried to smooch me, he'd be minus a nut right now :)

My friend had the same thing happen..he lives by himself on 27 acres at the end of a dirt road, one day a big ol Cadillac full of JW's showed up at his place, the first thing they did was drop it into reverse and get the hell out of there. Turns out he had just come back from the range and was going about cleaning up his shooting irons in plain view on the front porch.

Another time he was a little in the sauce and was dancing about on his porch in his birthday suit, same deal..Caddy doing a reverse drop in his front yard...they never did come back after that one..

LOL Thanks for sharing that! I had a herd of JW's turning up regularly at my house in California, usually on Sunday mornings or holidays. I would talk to them (they are a scream, really)cordially and then tell them to beat it.

One of the women really got angry and in my face and threatened me that they weren't going to come "witness" to me anymore.

What a pity, eh?

[T Minus Four]

well......maybe? :-)

I hear that!

I used to get mean and holler at the JWs, but one bright, sunny Saturday morning I was in a great mood and invited a pair of them in when they knocked. We sat down in my living room and I asked them what they would like to talk about. They looked at each other kinda funny, then looked at me and one of them said, "I dunno. We never got this far before".

Had a Brittany several years ago that I thought was the "lick you to death" type.

Then we had a sub UPS driver come in our business one day. Misty came off her sofa and positioned herself between my wife and that driver and her body language was very clear as to what would happen if there was a problem.

We saw her react that way to maybe 5 different people in her life, one of which happened to be a State Trooper who stopped the wife.

She never did defend me, however! Guess that shows who she really owned, huh?

All my dog thinks when the door bell rings is "pizzza!!!" and then tries to hump the delivery persons leg...

[Smittie]

Our sheltie has a bark/howl that'll curdle your blood when someone's at the door. They're usually not anywhere close to the door when it's open if they're still there.

She also howls when Lassie barks on TV.

In a previous life I was a door-to-door salesman.

You couldn't keep your job if you were to honor the "No soliciting" signs.

"I'm not soliciting, ma'am. I'm giving away books!"

It was a point of pride to call on a "No soliciting" house and beat an order out of them.

"All my dog thinks when the door bell rings is "pizzza!!!" and then tries to hump the delivery persons leg..."

Everyone at work is wondering why I just burst out laughing! That was great. My dog thinks that all visitors are bringing food too, she loves the pizza bones (crust).

[annyokie]

LOL I never hollered at them, I just had fun with them. They did piss me off when I was a youngster and waiting tables at Bob's Big Boy, though. They'd come in on Wednesday nights and order all kinds of fountain items, sundaes, milkshakes, et al, always right after we had broken down the fountain station for the night and then leave us tracks saying "Here's a Tip" instead of actual tips.

I really got my knickers in a twist about waiting on them after two or three occaissions.

[in the Arena]

That's weird, we also call them "pizza bones"...take care...

[Phantom Lord]

Who wouldn't want to come home to this face...
