I seriously have the best BF ever
Since our little incident last night, I really want to close up an extra door that I have, plus replace my front door and another exterior door (I have FOUR doors into my house). BF just took charge and told me he has a good handyman he knows coming to the house at 4:30 to give us an estimate on how much it will be to get all this done.
He loves me, protects me, takes care of me, and handles all "manly" household chores for me, even though he has a house of his own to tend to. I am the luckiest woman ever. I don't know what I did to deserve someone like him, but it must have been something good. When I tell him how lucky I am and how good he is to me, he says "I'm the lucky one. And of course I take care of you - you're my baby and I love you." Awwwwwwwww. 
Re: I seriously have the best BF ever
he sounds awesome!!! Also, if you have the time you should consider getting a dog, I would never have lived alone without one.
Did the police have any idea what the prowler wanted (robbery, attack)?? Also have there been other break-ins in your neighborhood?
I would love to get a dog, but since BF and I travel so much on the weekends, it just isn't realistic for us. Plus, BF has kind of a "country" attitude towards dogs being in the house, and it would end up being a huge source of conflict for us. I am working slowly on changing his attitude.
The police didn't know what was up, I didn't ask if there had been a lot of break ins, but they did tell me everyone in this area was really nice, so they were surprised I had a problem.
P&R, the guy(s) coming out to your house are good people. He used to work with DH and he & his brothers have done a ton of projects at our house. They are great and can be trusted 100%. They even moved me from WR.
The "country" attitude toward dogs can be broken. My dad was the worst. He even "took care of" a dog my oldest brother had when he was little (way before my time) for destroying his AF uniforms. My sweet border collie was a strictly outside dog ---- until he nearly died from pneumonia. After that, he softened and let him inside sometimes. They got another border right after mine passed away and he became a mostly inside dog. I make jokes about how unfair it is now.
Yeah, I am working on him slowly. He doesn't understand why I feel it's cruel that the neighbors keep their dog chained 100% of the time. I'm turning them in for this, by the way. He used to keep his dog on a chain because she would escape the yard all the time. When I told him that the dog should have been in a crate during working hours, and then supervised in the yard, or taken for walks instead, he looked at me like I had a 3rd eye, LOL. In his opinion, a dog belongs outside 100% of the time, except for very extreme weather conditions, and if you want to see the dog, you go outside. This attitude bothers me to no end, and I am trying to get him to change it.
aw, he is sweet P&R!
My dad was the same about dogs for yeaaaaaars (farm boy too). And then all of a sudden they changed their ways and the dogs have been indoor animals. I think it had to do with his idea that they'd destroy the house unsupervised and this is the 3rd dog they've let stay indoors, and right now he's a puppy so he's learning (and teething!) he's crated but while people are home he's a free-roaming dog.
Call me Kat =^..^=
That is so sweet of your BF to take care of you like that! It's no less than what you deserve!
Also, my DH has the same attitude about dogs, it's mostly a "country" vs. "city or suburb" thing. To DH, dogs are work animals on the farm, so they belong outside with the rest of the farm animals. I'm slowly working on him to ease up. I'd like to have a little inside dog one day.
