We have some rabbits eating some of the plants in our garden. any good deternts? we like the bunnies, and prefer them to be here, and eat somethign besides our garden. it's not like there isnt 1000 other plants out there for them Get a dog - my dogs keep the animals, including the geese, away from everything - the only had thing is that they eat the green tomato's before they ripen. Leythos But, then he'll have a dog. That's just trading one problem for another. You could look at it that way, or you could look at it as a great thing. I've had Shepard's or huskies all my life, best dang animals I've ever worked with and owned (like they really let you own them). I had a real wolf for several years, that was the best years in my life. My huskies will snatch a bird out of the air if they get close to the plants, they have taken 6 geese in the last few years - they would fly in to get the plants and never make it out - funny thing is the heads are missing and no other damage to the birds. The dogs, until they started eating the green tomato's Leythos I see people walking dogs here when it's 3 degrees and snow's blowing sideways, or, constantly shoveling snow off the lawn to make a space for the dog to crap, and I think........you don't wanna know. My dogs crap on top the snow, it melts down, then freezes - as the days progress it's easy to pickup as a chunk, almost like a (never mind). I have a hard time getting the huskies in out of the cold, doesn't matter if it's snow, sleet, etc.... What I hate is when people let their dogs loose or let them crap in my front yard without cleaning it up. Leythos Here's one you'll love: About 6 weeks ago, I'm working in the yard and some putz with a pistol target dog (those little shits that nobody likes) comes along, lets the dog stop on my lawn, and I see that he's got nothing with him to clean it up. I smiled and said "Excuse me. Would you please pick that up?" His answer: "No, I won't". I told him that was illegal (which it is). He gave me the usual dog criminal bullshit about how the first so many feet of property belongs to the town (which it does not). That problem got solved very quickly and creatively. He doesn't even come down this street any more. I would just take a picture of him and his dog and post it in my front yard - This person disrespects property owners by allowing their dog to crap in our yards. Leythos What am I gonna do? Ask him to hang on a moment while I go get my camera? No. I put down my tools (although I was tempted to skewer his little dog with a pitch fork. I began walking alongside him, and told him I would keep doing so until we reached his house. I told him that once I knew where he lived, I would stop by any time I felt like it and maybe **** on his front door, or car door handles. Or, maybe roll my trash barrel down there and dump it on his lawn, just because I felt like it. Arbitrarily, just like his action. I told him I'd been dealing with people like him for 20+ years, he was about to get into a situation he was not prepared to handle. He finally stopped and said "fine I'll clean it up". He stopped back a little while later and cleaned it up. Great fun. |

I'm not saying that I wouldn't have shown the same graciousness towards the guy as you but people around here can get shot for giving an odd look. Especially, if it's a cocky little guy. If he is cocky, he has an edge. So talk nice, get away from inquiring eyes, and when he turns his head, "freedom" whack him. I suspect your getting too old for this sort of thing anyway. - Billy Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) -- Billy Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |

I work too hard for my little estate to let some skank ass dog criminal ruin my day. I like my methods. Convince people that they're dealing with a loose cannon. Fear is a great motivator. True story: The house next to mine is empty. Old lady died, son is fixing up the place to sell it. I came home the other day and saw a car in his driveway that wasn't familiar. The car pulled out, and into my driveway. The driver gets out and introduces himself as Bob from Alien Industries. There were string trimmers and leaf blowers making noise nearby, so I asked him "Alien? Did you say alien?" He showed me his makeshift portfolio, which clearly said "Alien Industries"* and asked if I needed any home improvements. I told him "No...I'm all set". He looked at the roof and said it needed replacement. I acknowledged that it did, and that my son and I would be doing it this summer. He said "Anything else you're thinking of?" I told him no. He started reciting a list of home improvements I should think about. I interrupted him and said "Ya know...there are some stray dogs that keep crapping on my lawn. Do you do assassinations? I'd be willing to pay for that if you can bring me the heads to prove the work was done." He quickly moved back to his car, telling me "No sir. We don't do assassinations!" :-) :-) I love it. How To Clear The Property of Aliens * I don't know who registers business names, but someone's not on the ball, obviously. There's a Chinese restaurant here called "House of Poon". Nobody thought to tell the owner that the name was iffy? |
