Official Squatch Watchers

He just nailed some hardware cloth to a piece of wood with what he called "U-nails." They look like STAPLES with plastic crap on them. He said, "Here. Try to rip this off. If you can't do it, a raccoon can't."

I ripped that puppy off in two seconds with no effort at all.

He better fix that sh*t quick, cuz if I lose any more chickens I'm goona go bananas. And I will throw the next dead chicken on his dead-animal-fearing, bird-phobic self as he naps. I am not kidding!

Sounds like "fence staples". No good at all.


Using those but covering with a 1x2 that is screwed in works.

(Still uses scews).

@pitbullmomma Show him this.

Then add these...

That's what happens when you don't secure the fence like the first picture. Some boulder rolled through my fence. I haven't been able to straighten it more then that. And that little piece of wire...that was a hook. I couldn't bend it back to anything close to useful--even with tools.

Trying to put Thing 1 to bed without milkies for the first time. He’s barely been nursing at all and it hurts like crazy when he tries. It’s time to cut him off.

Wish me luck!

Darling puppy. I used to show Cockers back in the day. I was at the benched International Kennel Club show in Chicago 1959. Which just so happened to be the first show for Vizsla after AKC recognition. The dog next to mine was Zhomi Von Selle.

The people had too long a bench chain on him and he managed to get off the bench and be stuck there . I had some Mackinac Island fudge with me(sold at show) and broke off a little piece to temp Zhomi. It worked and he was back on the bench.

When I turned around though my Cocker was eating my fudge and drooling all over the box. I got it away from him and thought I'd dump it later. I forgot. Took it home and my family was going through it before I remembered the drool. I was only a little girl so I kept my mouth shut. No one experienced any bad effects from eating it. All was well.

THAt is a great story!!!
