Every Thursday night my wife, son, and I go to my parents for a big family dinner. I don't normally OC there since its just there and back. But tonight was different, I chose to take it with us. We headed home around 8:30 and pulled in about 9. Since the kid was asleep I was going to go in first and let the dogs out so they wouldn't wake him up. Thats when I realized they were already outside. We never leave them out when we are gone. My heart stopped. Many times before I have thought about coming home to find them let out by some one that had broken in. I told my wife to stay in the car and lock the doors. I drew and chambered a round and slowly walked around back to the fence. The back door and windows were both secure. I went back the the front and went in through the front door. I can tell you it is a very surreal experience to clear your own home. In the end I found nothing. All doors and windows secured, all rooms and closets clear. I guess in our hurry to get out of the house they just got let out in the back yard. I realized that I need to carry everytime that we leave and will be coming back after dark. We live off a very busy road and it's to much to chance. For the record, Had I found a busted in back door I would have not gone in.
