<DIV>Oh Nancy, I laughed out loud at your post -- I love the way you
write! And I love your boys. Would have loved to have seen all four
jammed in the dog door.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I think you neglected to read the small print on the Basset Security
System contract. The four models that you had installed are guaranteed to
stop intruders by tripping them. Anyone who breaks into your house has a
really good chance of tripping over a sleeping basset, crashing to the floor,
and alerting you in your sleep. The speedbumps (who probably would have
slept through the entire episode, thus remaining fresh for the next time they're
needed) would therefore have fulfilled their jobs as spelled out in the security
contract.</DIV>
