An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings

We Need a Fence!

23 August 2008, 6:30 pm. . Filed under Critters.

As I have mentioned before, I really LOVE living out in the middle of Podunk, TN.  This is a great area, with mostly terrific folks.  Who are NOT ‘terrific folks’?  I’d say those people who don’t give a flying flip about their pets.  You KNOW they are someone’s pet because they have collars on ‘em.

Case in point - Hispanic Rat Dog!

See?  Collar.  And no, I did NOT put out food for this semi rat canine.  He just happened to show up while I was out there pulling weeds.  I will admit, I do leave a bit out for the cats (and possums) that come around, but dogs?  I don’t think so!

You see, I’m of the mind…if you have a dog, and you live near a highway…you FENCE that dog.  I’ve seen way too many squished dogs around here, and it seriously chaps my hide!

Now, I do not want a fence so we can get a dog.  I want an appropriate type fence to keep Mr Hispanic Rat Dog, and his friends……OUT!  Hmm…..perhaps with a little razor wire, a land mind or two, or some such to discourage that peacock invader too? 

I like this kind of visitor MUCH better:

I got the impression this guy was doing some kind of mating dance, but I had to turn him down.  Not really my type.  It was kind of cool to watch though.
