Re: [PyrNet-L] Re: Leaving your dog outside...

We all come to a point  that we have to make our own call for what is best
for our guys right or wrong it is up to us. Many may disagree with what we do
but in the end it still comes down to what we each think is best. That in
mind we went out and bought a very big bone from the butcher and hung it near
the front fence with a shoe hanging off it. We had to move it a few times as
my guys went nuts looking at it. But I tell you when people see it they laugh
then they see Cody stand up on the fence and they back off fast. Pretty as
many people say, but my only worry is the little kids the big ones seem to
stay away. Consider a dummy camera that you could put out near your house
they don't cost much and a few stickers and signs near your house.  It did
not cost us much for the real thing and after my son told all his friends to
smile when they come over we have not had any trouble.
