[QUOTE="donna723, post: 584074, member: 1883"] We get them every once in a while. I think the Mormons are really the most persistent. You can spot them a mile away when they're going through the neighborhood. the ones around here always seem to be two young men wearing black pants and white dress shirts. The Jehovah's Witnesses aren't quite as bad. I don't usually answer the door either because most of the time I'm here by myself. Anybody knocking on my door will set all FOUR of my dogs off in to barking fits which is usually enough to discourage just about anybody. The most I've ever done is to open the door just enough that they can slip their pamphlet in, all the while mouthing the words, "[I]I can't hear you with the dogs barking!" [/I]Funny story about the Jehovah's Witnesses. I was sitting in the living room watching TV when I heard a little knock on the door, then all four dogs barking full blast. I have three little windows on the top of my front door and I looked but didn't see anyone out there so I decided it must be my imagination.

And she's never come back. I wonder why? [/QUOTE]
