I seriously need to copy Heather’s sign for my front door. My dogs start barking if the UPS truck even dares to stop somewhere on our street. And if the doorbell rings? They feel it is their duty to bark loud enough and long enough to make sure I know that the doorbell? It rang.
I’ve taken to listening for any delivery truck that might stop by during naptime (why is it always during naptime?!?), and I literally shove shoes on my feet and leave the house to meet them part-way up my driveway (rain, sleet or snow can’t stop me) so that they never have to ring the bell. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work for all the neighborhood kids on foot and bikes who are selling tickets to car washes and raffles and what-not as fundraisers. The kids’ parents, though, might not appreciate the language on that sign…
