steal one yard sign, FIVE new ones pop up!

[unblock]

some republican criminal (but i repeat myself) stole our obama yard sign, so we got FIVE new signs.
the 4 in front are for jim himes, democratic challenger to chris shays, the LAST new england congressional republican. that's gonna be a close race here in connecticut, hence the prominence.

closest to our front door is the new obama/biden sign, a good distance from the street.

note that we also posted a ferocious basset houuuuund to further guard the signs.

HAH! and to think they thought mccain would have a lock on connecticut were it not for our ONE obama sign!

6. Nice looking yard!

Love all of the signs.
Let's see if we can get rid of the last Republican congresscritter in New England.
I'm in the 5th CD - Chris Murphy's district. Looking forward to casting my ballot for him in a little more than an hour!

8. we spent all weekend blowing leaves

and as you can see more are already coming down....

we found out last year the hard way, you can't wait until ALL the leaves are down before you start. it's just impossible, too many leaves. we had to pay some pros with several major blowers to do it.

7. Beautiful house.

and dog looks like she/he's ready to attack!!!

[unblock]

10. we often jokes about her being an attack dog, but she's a basset.

she just wants to love on everyone.

although, her slobber is quite corrosive!

14. LOL...we have a black & tan coonhound

The runt of the litter, so he is only about 45 lbs.
The most friendly (and protective) dog that I've ever known.
He'll bark like crazy at strangers, but as soon as he is approached, his tail starts wagging and he is ready to play.
Also the biggest slobberer (is that a word?)

17. awwwwww.

i don't know if "slobberer" or "slobbery" are words in the o.e.d., but they are certainly words in the unblock household!

9. Ferocious basset hound?

I've never seen one of those. Do some basset hounds actually come with the "ferocious" option package?

13. Beautiful place!

But the doggie looks more like a Springer to my old eyes.

15. she looks so tiny in that picture, and not the best view of her ears

we do keep her trim, under 50 pounds. female bassets will easily get to 70 pounds or more if you let them have their way.
they have no energy then, other than to eat....

22. Does she have

a docked tail?

[unblock]

no, but looking at that pic a can see how it appears so.

in that pic it goes down then back up, though it's hard to see depth at that distance.

24. no, but looking at that pic a can see how it appears so.

16. i bought a surveillance camera

after my first sign got stolen, and chained the new one up to a tree and spread vasoline all over it.

[unblock]

18. we actually SAW the van as they took the sign

but it's so dark we couldn't make out the plates.

do you have night vision on your camera?

[ratherunique]

19. it has night vision

but i have to leave my porch light on to get better visibility.

20. what a great house and i love your attack dog!

21. Wonderful idea! Thank you ! //nt

23. Someone put out signs here . . .

In our neighborhood, overnight, Obama signs just cropped up all over. Throughout the day some were run over, some stolen. I took a walk at 12:15 and saw one on the ground. I picked it up and re-planted it but by 12:50, when I was coming home, it was gone. Just gone. In this neighborhood it's been all McCain, all the time. You'd think they could let us have one day.
