Since we are on the dog topic... My neighbor's foxhound or coonhoud has been coming around and messing with Nettie, my Nigerian Dwarf goat. He has been trying to play with her and... um... mount her. My husband has had to chase him off twice. Now, we are not violent and we don't own guns. We have warned the neighbors and none want to listen when it comes to keeping their dogs off our property. Someone turned us in when our dog got off his chain (3rd time in over a year, but first time he left our property) and I warned everyone then that the rules where going to change. I gave away my dog - I was not losing my birds for a mutt I didn't like anyways (I strongly dislike dogs, btw). I know it isn't exactly lethal, but we have a BB gun now. I will use it. I wanted a paintball gun... I wanted to see how everyone likes cleaning that off their dogs. There are 14 dogs from various owners that I have to chase off all the time. One has had my free range roosters in their mouths a couple of times and the other non-dog owning neighbor had to save them. I had to chase the neighbor's Pit away from our dog when we still had him. The neighbor diagonal from us has 3 small dogs that come over every day to crap in my yard. One they let out at all hours of the day and night. I just LOVE when they let her out at 2 or 4am and she comes over on my porch or right under my bedroom window and just sits there and barks for no darn reason! She is the reason my hatred for the neighbor's dogs started. I have tried to run her down with my truck through the yard twice - the last time I hit my satellite dish and decided using the truck as a lethal weapon may not be a good idea. =/
Dogs. I prefer cats. And chickens.
