The photo above is of Amanda and our dog, Benny, in the park near our home. There isn't a playground, but there is space to run around.
I've had dogs on my mind ever since the break-in just before the Easter weekend. We were at home and only found out that we were robbed the next morning. We own a sweet animal shelter dog who is now 12 years old and doesn't bark at people. He'll bark at the trash truck and fighting cats, but mostly he just communicates with his eyes. That is why I feel that it is time we introduce a second dog into our home. We need one that is loving, loyal and protective. The thieves had to pry their way in, so a barking dog would probably have sent them running. Thankfully, only material things were stolen and none of us were harmed.
Maybe a dog like this one?

Oh my goodness, you were broken into WHILE you were home? I'm just so happy that you all were safe throughout the whole thing, awful as it must have been! Growing up, we always said our dog would lick anyone who broke in to death, but I don't think we'd have joked around like that if we'd had something like this happen to us!

I surely hope that you are able to find a suitable dog to help protect you and your family. I remember reading about your breakin, awful!!! So glad noone was hurt, just amazing that they would come in and rob you while you were there.......and without any noise.
Our neighbors have a German Shepard that barks at us every time we walk by until we say her name. Then she is fine, ha ha.Thanks for sharing on #FridayFrivolity My recent post Furniture refinish – 1990’s Glossy Black TV Stand Remodel
