 the dog just lying there and my husband asleep. So I go, I grabbed the shotgun. I, the way the house was built is that there was a staircase and the kids rooms were the first room from the staircase. I would have done it differently if I knew, but we didn't build the home. Well, maybe we did, but anyway, so I stood in front of the staircase in front of the kids rooms and I screamed to get the blank out and I cocked the shotgun and I was ready to fire a warning shot and he leaves.
