Help me before I commit a crime!

Nothing abnormal

That's like a three foot fire; it just burns my ass.

He is a piece of dog poop himself.

If you want to tinker, look here . I found something interesting when I lived in Summering (yawn). I just wasn't sure about it until I saw a cheap way. It makes sense.,,,still reading as I lost the link and had hunt it down.

parabolic speaker:

Instead of listening to wildlife (hamsters eating cardboard) , eavesdropping, etc. Send to the dogs a whistle pitch that drives them kooky by microphone. Not heard by humans.

So why expensive stuff you will not use in UT? Beware my neighbor will be taking his 180 lb. rots up there.

Stay away....the complaint is in .......

But if you need to turn up the fire, by all means.

I can answer that. Your dog; like mine, won't talk back.

"affinity". I was expelled from school once; for ten days. I spun a teacher around an I-beam by his neck tie for kicking my dog.

None .. dogs or cats.

Horsefeathers The creins sometimes carry bags with which they ineffectively attempt to clean feces. Never in 4 years of watching these imbeciles parade in front of my house have I eve seen any attempt to clean up or nutralixze dog urine. And the damn urine kills plants and lawn.

I am frequently sorely tempted to walk up to an owner who's dog has just squirted on my grass, carrying a BB gun, and inquire of them were they going to lick it up or should I just train th dog to piss elsewhere.

And, like Dave Barry sez: paraphrasing ........... you can say the stupidest thing to a dog and they look at you and say ......... WOW ........ you know, I never looked at it THAT way .........

I guess it is a local thing then but I can guarantee you that if you look at the plat of my Florida yard on the tax map the property line is 10 feet back from the road. It was in Md too. They not only do that for utility easements but also so they can widen a road without having to buy out hundreds of owners. It is grass now and I am still expected to maintain it but I can't have a car parked there towed away if it has tags on it.

[gfretwell]

and generally useless. There are lots of examples of working dogs. Cats are just walking fur that kill anything they can for no reason. The only difference between a tabby can and a mountain lion is the size of the animals they kill.

[gfretwell]

That would get you shot with a real gun around here ... and the homeowner would get away with it if your BB gun looked remotely like a firearm. Already happened, no charges filed.

[Bert Byfield]

It is possible to admire that.

That's why I have cats (3). I have a field in front, and a field in back. Without cats, the voles, tree-rats, mice, chipmunks, and such would live in my attic and make constant raids on my kitchen.

I can't get my bride to see things like me and Bo (bark less Basenji) he looks like this:

I'll go you one better. Buy the best KillAll herbicide you can find. Put it in a spray pump can FULL STRENGTH. Go put on your blue Dickies pants and shirt with a white cap. Add false mustache and silver grasshopper eyes twentysomething shades.

Walk up to target's nice manicured yard, as any good pest control person would do.

Write what you want in their lawn, but pausing to appear to squirt pesticide here and there.

It leaves a lasting impression. In some cases, up to a year.

How do the cats control tree rats? (AKA roof rat or rattus rattus for you science buffs) A roof rat can live it's whole life and never touch the ground. They also reproduce faster than cats can kill them. That is not true of the other animals that compete with them for food. When cats are present, the only other animals you usually see are rats and the rats will breed up to the available food supply, dropping a litter of new pups every 6 weeks or so.

Sounds like you're a football coach.

Why is that a naegative assumption on Steve's part. It's actually a positive assumption that gives the owners the benefit of the doubt. That is, if they are stuck in Denver, how can they get home. There were literally thousands of people stuck at the Denver airport who wanted to be someplace, but couldn't go there for days.

This doesn't seem like a big point either way except it shows how people, once they are in a critical mode, can criticize anything, even for bad reasons, even reasons opposite what the facts show.

AFAICT, though, Steve has never said where the dogs are. Are they in the house, in the yard, fenced in yard, tied to a tree, a trolley? ??

So I have no comment on the dog situation itself.

[F.H.]

Interesting. What do you think would be reasonable response by me when my neighbors cat thinks my flower bed is his personal litter box?

[Oren]

They can be sitting on their arse. The dogs ARE, barking.

In the early thread; I strongly suggest the dogs were nearly in a near-by pistol site - lacking a squeeze on the trigger.

And your point is?

Fi-Shock.

One contact, and you can't THROW the cat on to your property.

Not sure I can help, but paper bag it up, carry next door, set it on fire and ring the door bell?

Mister; walk towards me with a BB gun, at a minimum I will take it away from you and whip that ass with the stock end. Maximum - you get shot.

Don't take a knife to a gun fight.
