I got out the griddle and put the bacon on. Then, I whipped up a batch of from-scratch pancake batter since I had a little extra time. I was just flipping the last pancake and pouring out the scrambled eggs when there was a knock at the door.
Daniel set his beer down on the counter and went to answer it while the two-dog alarm went off at a deafening level. Our dogs would surely lick someone to death before they’d bite, but I was confident that no one intending harm would even want to come through that door and into all the racket.
