twice before they would try to break in....well, at least until they saw 
what was barking!>>

Our Alexis (ATB) had the deepest bark of any basset we've had. I think it 
was that double-wide, deep chest. Any thief who arroused her attention 
probably would have thought she was a mastiff. Then imagine seeing a short, 
waddly, arthritis-ridden  lemon and white basset instead of that fearsome 
dog.

Abner has taken up her post as early-warning system. He too is double-wide 
and sounds fearsome. But in his case, I'm not sure he wouldn't go for the 
burglar. And I'm not sure I'd discourage him, either, if someone meant harm 
to our home--well, at least not until the last second.
