Tony,
Jackie, the one-eyed wonder dog, will be asleep anytime after 11pm.
I will leave a ladder outside my unlocked, southern-most side window in
order for you to test your theory regarding the relative merits of
viciousness verses noisiness.

I know what you're talking about, Lew. I also know what "heaven" means,
more or less, but I'm not persuaded anybody has a simple, surefire method
for finding it.
Viciousness is a useless attribute for watchdogs. Their power lies in
noisiness, keen hearing and light sleeping. A good watchdog is right up
there with good window bars, except your bars may not drive your neighbors
crazy all day while you're away.
I worry about fire safety too, Liz. I figure, if the fire's in the front,
leave by the rear door, and vice versa. Not perfect, perhaps, but what is?
-- Tony West
I have (perhaps naively) felt protected by my vicious dogs, and I didn't
like the look or feel of the outside bars, so I removed the metal bars
from my window.
I offered them to Cassidy a few years ago when he was getting scarred by
the seemingly endless cycle of crime that hovered around his crib, but he
never followed up and since he deserted the UCLipServ, I'm retracting my
offer to him and you are welcome to them them if you are considering going
this route.
I want to find a source for the style of security bars that mounts on the
inside and has a locking system that is simple for the occupant to open in
the case of a fire but impossible for a thief to operate from the outside.
Anybody know what I'm taking bout?
