Re: Sssh!! Whats that noise?
After my old dog died we were laying in bed and at 3.30 were woken by the noise of the living room door closing..(its was never closed) then I heard someone in my kitchen...OH and I leapt out of bed and tore downstairs but the intruder fled via the back door..
That was 15 oct 2001, the very next day 16 oct 2001 OH took me to the local rescue and we adopted my beautiful brown eyed boy Oscar.. Best present I ever had.

Only time we have heard noises my husband has slept through them it's me got up to check taking whichever dog made me feel safer

Re: Sssh!! Whats that noise?
Years ago soon after my husband died I was awoken by my then dog Tilly growling. I went to the top of the stairs and could hear someone trying to get a key in the lock of the front door and I could see their shape through the glass in the moonlight .My small son was asleep in bed and I was terrified.
I went to the spare bedroom which is above the front door and opening the window but there was no one there.
I toyed with the idea of ringing the police but decided not to.
The next day while waiting for the school bus I asked the neighbours if they had heard anything and mentioned the incident. One of them looked very sheepish and said her husband had been out to a colleague's leaving party and someone had dropped him off afterwards in their car . He had been very drunk and gone to my house (which looks identical in the dark) by mistake.
That day I went out and purchased a large bolt for the top of the door. Nothing similar has happened since

Re: Sssh!! Whats that noise?
I live in a ground-floor apartment. I have an 'Alpen stock' at the side of my bed, it is a wooden stick approx 4" in circumference and 3 ft long, it has a steel spike 2" long at one end and a solid brass ice axe (that looks like a tomahawk) at t'other end. I have the choice, either inserting the steel spike in a particular orifice and giving the prospective burglar a severe limp, or rapping him across his hands or head with the brass handle and seriously injuring him that way. In either event, a potential burglar in my premises is unlikely to be able to walk away unscathed.
