I love a happy ending, and not just those massage parlor ones!

I've had my house robbed twice, my car robbed twice, and my truck stolen.
It was never the stuff, it was the violation of the safe home I created for my family.
We've always kept big dogs to watch the kids and the house, but they didn't do a very good job.
Well, that's not true. We never really lost much from the break-ins, and I never lost much from the cars. They found our truck and it was a total loss.

So now there's guns everywhere. That upsets me, too.
I don't want to have to clean up blood in my house. But I'm just done.
The wife and all the kids know how to shoot, but they don't have access, so it's kind of pointless, but there's a weird psychological peace of mind there.

I get over things really fast, Jeff. I don't hang on and I give it all to God.
But that stuff stuck with me. It was just fear and a worry that I couldn't keep my family safe.
But it wasn't true. I got over it, nobody has ever gotten hurt, and I know I can protect them.
You can too, my friend. Do whatever you have to do to give everyone peace of mind.
Even if you keep the dog caged up when you aren't home and the guns locked in the safe, it really helps settle the mind.
At least it has mine.

You have my prayers, brother.
I'm truly sorry this has happened to you and yours. It's the worst.
Let your wife be scared and support her, too. Don't minimize her fears.
She needs you now more than ever.

Glad there was a little silver lining, albeit 7 tears later, Jeff!

Glad you got em back!

Very cool, glad you got them back

Think the psychological effects of something like this always seems to be more than the monetary. That said, sorry about the cigars/humidors.

Though I'd never advise someone to get dogs that didn't truly love dogs, I do think they're a Hell of a deterrent. (They're also a chit ton of work). I have 2 large Boxers and their presence makes me feel better when I'm not home(wife/kids there or not).

Glad You Finally Got Them Back, Brother!
