Well rats.
I already have four cats -- but by no stretch could they be called *ninja guard cats*. Mostly they eat, sleep in the barn and one of them catches the occasional bird (boo/hiss). So that's out. And I won't leave a dog out at night -- so even well-trained Pitties wouldn't work. I guess I'll have to rig up an alarm system. Maybe Brad and I could devise something -- flashing lights, blaring horns, etc. Need to get it all worked out before Vi makes her midnight run............
Something tells me that those two spend a LOT of time on that chair...............
