This message is from: Karen Keith <kkke...@hotmail.com> Dear Gail:
You may want to get a driveway alarm to let you know if anyone even starts up your drive. I have used them in both my Colorado property and now my Virginia property and really like being alerted that someone is coming up to the house, long before they get to the front door. Admittedly, the deer sometimes trip it during the night, but the dog has learned not to react to the deer. Go figure. I think with her more acute hearing, she listens for the sound of an engine after the alarm buzzes. She's able to discern my husband's car engine and my son's from "other" engines as well. It's called Chamberlain Wireless Alert System #RWA-300R by The Reporter. http://tinyurl.com/5txetz (This is the Amazon site) I got my first one at Radio Shack, but you can get them cheaper at Amazon.com. As a matter of fact, I need to order another one to keep in the barn to alert me when I'm there. I can't hear cars from the barn, and that unfortunately, that cost me package delivery from the USPO because my dog had a go at the postie up at the garage while I was down with the horse. No bites, just scared him. Now I get to go pick up my pkgs from the post office the next day. :^( Bad/dangerous neighbors is a scary problem. Stay safe and good luck.
