I hear ya! UPS used to do that all the time! I finally started asking that things I order come with "signature required" so they wouldn't pull that. Now, I just listen for the barking. There's nothing like DEWS (Doggie Early Warning System)!

That wouldn't exactly work here--since it still requires them to KNOCK and or RING THE FRAKKEN DOOR BELL to get one of us to sign for it.

They can't even do that when it didn't require us to sign! :p

And what's odd is, the dog used to bark to warn us. Now he only does it randomly, so our only reliable alarm has malfunctioned! :D
