Sorry you have to go through this, it will take some time to recover. Our 1 experience was way back in the early 80's while in grad school. Wife & I went out for lunch, then grocery shopping. Returned & found house tossed from end to end. Took days to deal with the mess, but far as we could tell, nothing missing. Pre-computer/cell phone era, plus we had no TV, just an old kitchen radio, only things of value were lots of books and my Underwood typewriter. Had cameras, but they were in our car trunk. Even when nothing is stolen, you still feel violated. Don

All my life, I've had hunting dogs. Most were also good watchdogs. But, our dog at that time, a 10 year old English Pointer, was a gentle old fellow. Rarely barked at anything. We found him downstairs, hiding in the laundry room! He went around with his tail down for a while and stuck real close to me.
