Most likely the cat doing kitty type shit or the dog doing dog type shit or both of them doing dumb shit.

Grab gaffer tape and lube, strip off,  and them go find the intruder while singing lullabies softly in a slightly off key.

This is what I paid the dog the big bucks for.

Her breed was developed about 600 years ago by the Germans as guard dogs. Damned good instinct, great intelligence, super hearing and sense of smell.

That's one damn smart dog.  How much have you paid her thus far?

I have two GSD's. If someone slams a door too hard across the street they get pissed. If there's a bump in the night, in the house? They would definitely be hauling ass towards it and raising all kinds of hell.

Of course announce yourself. What if it turns out to be a member of the family?

Walking around would make enough noise to give away your position anyway.

I look at the Chihuahua, if she is still laying still, I'm going back to bed.

that dog hears people walking across the street and lets me know.  If she is still sleeping, it is nothing to worry about.

If it was anything to be concerned about the dogs would have already let me know. They are very protective of the comfy home we provide them. Rolls over and goes back to sleep.......

A bump?  Probably a squirrel dropping out of a tree onto my roof.
View Quote
(grumble) damn squirrels (grumble)

Had one that would wake me up in the mornings by running down the slope of the upstairs roof, then jump down to the porch roof.  Metal roofing on both.

Rumble, rumble, rumble. Short pause.  BAM. Short pause. Rumble.


The new house also has a metal roof.

...and there seems to be a lot more squirrels, there.

Damn squirrels indeed. I have metal roof as well.  On of their favorite places to go from my roof is my car, or the seat of my motorcycle it I leave it outside. They tore the seat up on my last bike.

If I did not live in the city limits, I would deal with them and have fun doing it

Heard a bunch of bumps while I was getting ready to go to work a couple days ago. Was running late so didn't bother to investigate. Walking out to the truck heard a loud "Hey there!"

Turned around to see my 9 y.o. daughter out stomping on the roof. At 0630. Was not pleased but managed to survive the event.

No element of surprise, dogs would make their presence instantly known and they would go looking for the source of the sound.

My daughter has come down the stairs, found me sitting on the couch with a pistol in my hand, peeping through the curtains with the window open, then she just said "squirrels" while shaking her head, and went on her way to wherever she had originally been headed.

The new house is dried in with locks on the doors.  I left an AR with .22 conversion in what will be my bedroom, and have already fired around 150 rounds from the bedroom window, shooting small branches off of some trees, and getting a feel for how well the window works as a shooting position.  When I have time, I'll be clearing a bit more brush on that side of the house, putting some of the steel targets made for .22 in various spots...

Grab the closest gun and do a sweep of the house. No announcing myself, that'd just give my position away and any chance of surprise I might have.
