Did think about the hot wire. Need another new battery unit for farm anyway. But what about my dog she runs free the fenced yard is her's. Neighbors dog one one side, he can run fast. Nosey girl friend on other side! But I love her! Watches place for us! About 80, and one of a kind. I kind of watch out for her since her husband died. I might forget wife for christmas but not Pat!!!
Thinking out loud, .22 = about 1.5 miles range? Woods out back, cant risk kid in woods. Would love 12 guage light 8's, too loud.
And I am already marked by neighbors, so is wife, loud bang, neighbors know not to call 911, call for body bags. I am kind of the local neighbor hood muscle. Got young ones to look out for mostly 75 to 80. One dude has built in radar, my livewell full, wifes empty, he has left the country! My livewell empty, wifes full, I can't get into my driveway without him blocking my front door. Did I say nice guy? Only the best, always offers to take pictures of wifes large fish! Mine he could care less! I got really to much invested to make noise. One guys does all my wheel bearings and brakes on 6 trailers I rotate in and out of here. Usually $20.00 cash plus parts, his wholesale discount. I give the order and they are done, rv, boat, 1 covered, 2 flats, 1 cattle. He has put head lites in for me at 10:30 pm.
Beagle still best idea, got rope laid out and trip mapped out. Hope it happens quick, before I say bye again. Don't want wife to handle job she is ready to pull trigger.
Could you live with your full sized German Sheppard girl shaking laying in your living room under your feet about 120 pounds? She would bite anyone but she is scared to death of this dog! Aint seen her scared of any other dog before. Look she is just a stupid dog, but she is our dog, and she loves watching football games and nascar.
Going to talk with both side neighbors and have them ready and watching. One told me to fix my dog. That ain't the problem, You don't jump my fences. Would even put mine down if I could control her.
