We have two dogs, one of them large enough so that most visitors ask cautiously "is he friendly" before they enter our house. CFrance, you might be surprised what Crosby would do if you weren't there and an intruder entered your home. Perhaps I'm naive, but I do believe that a barking dog will act as a deterrent to most intruders.

We don't have a gun. Like you, I cannot imagine shooting someone unless I was convinced that my life was in danger.
