I hope you give him a nice Christmas gift. Our "letter carrier" throws everything over the driveway gate and onto the ground.

In this neck of the woods, USPS does pretty darn good, UPS is golden and FedEx has a hard time (example below, just this past Friday):
We've had the Yorkshire Terrier alert system for years now. Never fails.
Tell me about it!
Stepson's Yorkie ("Buster") is also with us lately, the 2 Chihuahuas and he get each other worked up to a feverish level in about 2 seconds if there's ANY bump, thump or subsonic sound of a truck anywhere near.

Around here, when the USPS "goes the extra mile", it's always because the package gets sent from Pontiac to Flint, Flint to Pontiac, Pontiac to Flint, etc... until one of those facilities finally passes it over to my local Post Office. The record round trip (so far) is five times. It gets a little frustrating to watch that it takes two days from mid-Florida to Pontiac and then a couple of weeks or so from there to my house (about a 35 mile trip from either place).

We have the Shih Tzu version of that sysytem here. VERY reliable.
Honestly, I think I heard Buster tell Coco "...Hey, we scared him so bad he dropped the box he tried to steal and drove off...great job, boys and girls."
