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.

What? Yet *another* item you think I should buy, after the fence??? When did
you start making these choices for me?

In Sag Harbor, NY (near the end of Long Island), it is against the law to
bring a pig into the village on Sundays.

Dave....you don't actually think I'm going to take a trip to the town hall
to make copies for you, do you? Besides, why should I doubt what the judge
told me? The judge, from MY town, who was my son's baseball coach, who
discussed this issue with me several times. Not just the vanishing dog
thing, but the various interpretations of "civil trespass", which you also
chose to doubt.

I'll tell you what, though. If, in the next couple of years, I'm in the town
hall during business hours for some other reason, I'll make a copy and offer
to fax it to you. OK?

OK, then. Have it your way.

You pay taxes don't you? You pay for car insurance don't you? Is it by
choice or necessity? Think of things like a fence and trimmer as
"insurance".

I didn't say ALL laws. We're dealing specifically with pet laws here.

I had a cop once tell me that if someone breaks into my house, to make
sure I drag the body back inside after I shoot him. It's one thing to
be buds and "wink-wink" at loopholes in the law. But the law still
does not give you the right to kill someone's dog.

A simple link to a web site would be sufficient. Surely your town has
entered the 21st century by now?

You said "how much variation would you expect?", which implies that because
laws are one way in place A, they are probably the same in place B. To an
extent, that's true, but in many cases, it's not. For instance, in my town,
there is no law requiring dog vandals who are walking their vermin to pick
up what their vermin leaves behind. There's a good reason for it: It would
be almost impossible to enforce. However, 2 miles away in the Rochester city
limits, there *is* such a law. Go figure. Two places, two different laws.
