My husband left to go play pool. It's Friday night & this is normal. Normally I'd be at the movie theatre but since the pandemic & having to wear a mask in the theatre, I stay home. Since I hurt my ankle, I'm still propping it up & icing it. I had a big thick blanket on & the two Chihuahuas were on my lap. I heard the back door make a sound (our back door is a glass slider & there is a distinct sound it makes when sliding. I thought maybe my husband forgot something but Mr. Layne attacked. He hit the door & I heard an unfamiliar voice say something & I heard our back gate rattle. I struggled to get to my feet but the back door was ever so slightly open (maybe just enough to stick a piece of mail through) & the back gate was wide open. I got to the window in time to see tail lights as a dark vehicle of some kind turned. I am ever so thankful that the dogs were in the house but there is no way this person couldn't see the light on in the living room or the tv on. I took the dogs by the collar & went out to close the gate & secure it. Mr. Layne has been a growly & serious boy until he was absolutely certain the threat was gone.
Called police & a nice officer came to do a premises check & my husband came home to check on me. It's okay boys, I've got this but it's quite unsettling.
This was not a test. I'd feel better if it had been but this was not a training exercise. What kind of moron goes into a home with a fence like we've got in the back yard & all these dogs? What kind of insane person goes into a home with the light & tv going & a car in the drive? I'm glad, thanks to my awesome Mr. Layne, I didn't have to meet this nutball
