Having Indoor Pets(2)

...Some pets, particularly small puppies, tend to go berserk when left alone, and if this is the case with your pet, you might want to consider putting your pet into the garage or basement while you are away, to help minimize the damage to your home.

Making certain that your pet gets outside to burn off some extra energy when you come home is also a good idea.

Let them know that you will be away, a'nd that you are concerned about your home. Make certain that you only reveal this information to neighbors that you know well, and have developed a trusting relationship with, as you never know what can happen. You wouldn�t want to move into a new home, leave for vacation the next week, and trust your new neighbors who you don't know to look out for your home, that just would be a bad idea.

You may also ask them if they would mind picking up your mail, your paper, etc. You don't want someone to notice that you are away, and papers piled up in the drive or mail overflowing from your box is a pretty good indicator that you are not at home. Oftentimes, burglars ...
