It was another late night at work (hitting 10 pm last Monday), when I got a call from my SO: The dog was going nuts! Barking at the front door, then running to the back door barking like crazy. In full territorial mode, and she was getting scared.
Told her to pull the Mak from its hidden location and keep it with her, along with the dog. Stay in the room that she is in. Not to open door for anyone until I told her it was clear. Told the work guys bye - jumped into the car and drove home like a madman.
When I got there - I cautiously walked around the front, CC still hidden but safety off in case I had to quick draw (did not want to scare the neighbors), and then walked around the house to the backyard. That was clear too.
I called her on cell to let me in, and swept the house - she apparently left door open while gardening and was afraid that someone slipped in. House was clean.
No signs of break-in, so it must have been a rat, squirrel or something to spook the dog. But better safe than sorry.
Lessons learned:
Get Police NON-emergency number programmed into cell phone.
I just found out that my normally pacifistic SO is not averse to clearing leather if the situation calls for it - makes me so happy!
