About an hour ago the wife and our dog Lucy were in bed. I was up reading FR when I thought I heard a noise outside. I get up from my chair and open the front door and the porch light is on, it has a motion sensor. I thought that was unusual when Lucy came barreling out from the back door( she has a pet door, comes and goes as she pleases) to the front door to the woods across the street barking like hell. The 4 wheeler was parked in front of the house and that is a hot item for thieves. Lucy finally came back to the house and is now laying out there, ears forward and pulling guard duty. We live in a semi rural area.
I read of a guy with a huge arms collection at the end of a long drive through the woods who kept getting robbed.
It all stopped when he put the “Small Arms Fire Practice.....” sign up.
That did it for me.
I like that one!
Saw another one: “Quick way to meet the Lord? Prayer. Even quicker way? Trespass here & you’ll meet Him immediately.”
Beagles are quiet effective at cleaning up food scraps.
:)
When I told my insurance agent that we were breeding beagles, they said that Maine Mutual would no longer insure us. We had been with them for ten years. They were the ones who said they would not insure anyone if they had the three aforementioned breeds plus pit bulls and a few others.
Therefore, we switched to State Farm too. We also run a grooming business out of our house. Amica would not insure us if we had a home business.
“dog ran off into the woods. Suddenly—she heard it running back—fast! A huge bear was chasing it!”
I’ve heard that is a fairly common experience. Along with bringing the bear right back to the human!@ Glad she was able to use her First Amendment rights to protect herself. Maybe use the Second Amendment the next time!
I called 911 / I don’t own but was asked 100 times - what would I have done if I did? Answer = would’ve taken it and would’ve only cost me one to put him down, retired Army here and still practice a few times a year....
