Our hero



Our house was robbed some time yesterday, and they took the Wii, Mark's laptop and a few other things, they left in a hurry, my digital camera still on the kitchen counter, the Wii antenna piece ripped off and left in the door. They were staging to take it all, desktop computer was unplugged, pictures were off the stereo, and then they took off. Mark thinks Millie woke up in the bathroom where she sleeps when they walked down the hallway into the kid's rooms and started barking and scratching her way out of the batchroom. Then Zelda probably started barking too. Maybe Millie snapped at them. She does have a ferocious bark. We figured out late last night that they took Markie's portable dvd player out of his bedroom. That is the second time it has been stolen in the last three months. In January Mark's car got broken into in our driveway and it was taken. This was the replacement. Poor Markie. Mark said his face was crushed when he found out they took the Wii. Lizzy was very stressed out until Millie resurfaced. I guess she was out back when they got home and discovered the burglary and it took them a few minutes to find her. The CSI truck was at our house for quite some time dusting for prints and who knows what else. I am currently in Boise on a layover. I was on ground time in Seattle when Mark called my cell with the news that our house was robbed and the cops were clearing it and he was in the driveway with all the kids. Everything always happens when I am on the road. Oh, in case you are wondering, they also left my new ds right on the kitchen counter. YES! Thanks for scaring them away Millie, our hero. Extra biscuits for you when I get home tonight!
