Instead, of this police state and Oligarchy.that we are told we are free but everyday the govnerent is taking away our rights for our safety and national security.
You mean you've never been to the same place 3 or 4 times in one night because the A.C. was blowing balloons all around the lobby? Sorry, but I wish every city had false alarm fines.
No reputable breeder is going to want to sell you a dog that is a 'surprise' nor a Christmas present. A reputable breeder is going to want to meet everyone in your family who will be living with the dog. Surprise dogs usually end up in a shelter within a year. Christmas is a very bad time to bring home a dog. The house is extremely busy (or, alternately, empty because you are out with family and friends) , it's impossible to watch the new pup, he will be overly stressed, etc. If you are committed as a family to getting a dog, then work with a good breeder and get the right dog at the right time. You are making a 15 year commitment here. Make sure that you are planning well for a good match. You can always put a picture of an adorable chocolate lab in a box with a note that you are on a waiting list for a similar pup from an excellent breeder. Or a crate with a big ribbon on it with the same note. The euphoria will be the same! Then you can take the potential new dog owner around to buy supplies for the anticipated pup, etc. There is a lot of prep work and that, too, is exciting. ETA: You know, the other thing you could do here is to plan a visit to the breeder's home. You can make it a big mystery. The new dog owner doesn't have to know where you are going until you get there, and then you have the whole surprise factor working for you, even though you aren't bringing a pup home that day. The whole process of choosing a breeder, then a pup, and then prepping for that pup are all exciting to someone who is really committed to getting a dog. You can still get your WOW factor into this while doing your best to get a high-quality, healthy and sound pup. You just have to think a bit more about it.
In 29 years as a cop and responding to thousands of residential alarms only 4 of the alarms were real. No one was scared off by any of the false alarms, there was no evidence of any attempt. In my experience alarm companies do not call the police for 10 to 15 minutes after the alarm sounds anyway, useless for prevention or catching.. Big companies like yours also tend to call the wrong number (no it is not 911 they monitor from a different city/state often).
i think that you should contact adt about this issue and see what they can do for you and maybe they can get the fine removed
