LOL Kowboy! hahaha That puppy would be in danger around me. Looks too tempting as potential roast than a guard dog, hahaha Just kidding of course.
That thing could definitely go after intruders, dragging my two bikes behind!
The alarm, I considered. I even have one - on the shelf. Different brand and ten times cheaper, but apparently working as well. The problem is I'm a considerate person, didn't want to wake neighbors in the wee hours, and I am paying for that. I moved my bikes to strategically safer point. I think they are safe from the front, and from the back - that orange pylon with a note on it is my guardsman for now. Until stolen that is. It's Vancouver.
One day at a time. Can't ignore the blood pressure spikes induced by outside forces, can't accept as a norm, the good thing is those waves pass. Cheers.
