That is fair.
However, I went one step further, to insure your civility. We
installed a
6'
high estate fence around our new home so that your dog will not cause
you
to
get killed.
See how nice I am?

Funny that in all the posts that I've suggested the same to Doug, he
fails to consider it. I guess in his mind, he should not have to be
"burdened" with the chore of constructing a fence to keep the unwanted
out of his garden. He feels that it's everyone else's responsibility
to keep them out for him.

A fence would've shaded the garden and made it more difficult for my GOOD
neighbor and I to keep the lawn trimmed neatly.

It's called a "weed whacker". They work just fine.

We don't like them. They're noisy. I've gotten along fine without one for 25
years so far.

You have venerable plethora of excuses don't you? They make electric
ones you know, (And after the anticipated "I don't want to deal with
long cords" excuse) and battery ones too.

We could've gotten around
the problem of shade by installing chain link, but we didn't like the
looks
of those.

How much shade does a 4 or 5 foot fence provide? You could 've used a
post/rail fence with mesh attached. It's more aesthetically pleasing
and does not block sun.

Then, you'll be OK with buying one for your neighbor when he complains about
your dog in his yard.

There isn't a fence in the world that will protect against the dreaded
"ghostdog". ;-)

It's not my problem. It's up to him to protect his investments against
incidental damage.


So, you're familiar with the law here in my town?

I'm familiar with the laws in general. Unless you live in six-gun
territory, it's likely that your laws are not much different.

That statement belongs in the Dave Hall Top 10 list of stupidest comments.
What you've said is that since the law is a certain way in one place, it's
probably that way in ALL places.

Not exactly the same, but now much variation would you expect? I am
still waiting for you to provide me with the text of the law that
states that you have the right to "vanish" an animal that ****es you
off.


By the way, I live in Rochester. Not six-gun territory by any stretch of the
imagination.

All the more reason to doubt that you have the right to kill dogs.
