So today I am relaxing in the bedroom dealing with annoying contractions when I begin to hear two men talking outside my bedroom window.  I stop what I am doing and listen closer.  I then look out the doorwall and notice my fence is open which is clearly marked with a "Beware of Dog" sign.  There was never a knock on my door or anything.  What would have happened if my dog was outside and attacked them?  My dog does not like strange people walking by the house let alone stepping foot in the yard!  I swear to god, some people are so stupid.  I mentioned this to my husband and he said he hates when they do that too.  I mean, come on, knock on the door and give me a chance to make sure my dog is inside so that you don't get hurt and then turn around and sue me!!!!  Private property is private property afterall.  Well, we have now decided that we are putting locks on the gates and that will force them to come to the door like they are supposed to do anyway.  We want to protect ourselves and our privacy.  Meter men suck!!!  No wonder they get paid minimum wage.
