People think the dog will be there to protect your property when you are away, but who will care for your pet when you are away? I would install small wireless cameras throughout the house and have the images sent to a server. This way when you are away, you can turn it on and finally capture the intruders image and turn it over to the authorities.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13392443592398136082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-38617224284509859342010-09-01T19:03:13.187-05:002010-09-01T19:03:13.187-05:00Try a sign that says "Bad Dog" and "...Try a sign that says "Bad Dog" and "Video Survailance Cameras" in Spanish and English.

We'd probably be somewhere south of the border right now if we could get rid of our house, but it's not a sensible option when the value's down almost 50%.

I actually have an offering to the guardian Alux (kind of like a Mexican leprachaun) sitting out at all times. I guess they only guard against spirits...not burglars!
