I am fortunate.
This is what I get when the neighbors animals come visit.

LOLYou'd be surprised what a good attack Pig can control!

I used to have a ''big'' Rottweiler, and now have a rott/blue healer mix. He is a loving, affectionate dog, until u make a fast move toward me. When I discovered this I was really surprised, guess he likes me ! Kinda proud of him. He has two sets of upper canines that mesh perfectly w/ his bottom canines, so he has the equipment ! My big rott. that I had to put down was dog killing s.o.b., I still miss him!Trust no unknown dog. He might think his dog is just fine, but it might be in new circumstances in someone else's yard. Call animal control. After a few fines most people get the idea. I have had several. Most from rescues and then rehomed. Mostly pitbulls. Even one of my current ones, she loves everyone and will run up, fall over, and give you her belly, but drop an unpredictable toddler her size that's running 100mph in different directions in front of her and she gets edgy. I kept her because I don't trust someone else to handle her. Also just had an incident with a family members dog that got a hold of their newborn by the bottom lip and tore it requiring a bunch of stiches on both sides. Then got the teenager who trying to pull the dog off the infant.. New situation, nobody paying attention, and the baby started crying. After the hospital, the authories got involved and she hid the dog. A week later she turned over the dog. 2 bite law here and the dog has never bit anyone before but as far as I'm concerned she should have been charged with child endagerment. Should have never happened. They knew the dog was sketchy to begin with.
The concerns about pitbulls are not without merit. Pitbulls for the most part are generally very loving, friendly and affectionate but there's still alot of game dogs out there. The female I have is a little beat up, has had her teeth filed, and was bred out by the previous owner. I believe she was a bait dog. She follows me room to room or follows me around the yard. She won't go outside without me. Never leaves the yard. She is usually no more then 10 feet from me but I have had issues with my neighbors dogs and my neighbors themselves when their dogs have entered my yard. When I moved here I met my neighbor walking the property line with my dog. Told me all about his badass 75 lb pit and I told him he's coming over and he better keep him in his yard. When this dog entered my yard my dog kept herself in between me and him untill he got within 10 feet.When he postured she was on him. 45lbs lit him up. They all keep their dogs in their own yards now. I never thought she had it in her because she's so docile otherwise.
Agree !ii 've had a couple of rotts. good stock dogs, healers. not scared of a 1200 # horse. got them into a trailer or stall. loving dogs. great guard dogs. I trust NO dog around children.
My present domicile has no fence at all ... it's a ten foot wall that surrounds a 360 degree circle of the property:

Ever been to south America?
Ever been to south America?
It's very common practice there
There is no broken glass, but it is set up to add barb/razor wire in the future. Here is a close-up of the same wall: My brother is in prison, so I guess we enjoy the same security (LOL).

why said anything about vacation?My "rule of thumb" is never go on vacation somewhere that people are trying to get out to come here.
why said anything about vacation?
I like the compound.
I did.
well, perhaps you inferred something i did not imply
perhaps i thought you might have gone there once on a missions trip, or to dig a well for the poor kids of farawayistan
Now, why would you have inferred that I might have gone on a mission trip?
Never mind that.
Truth is that I had hoped by this stage in life I would have been able to use my life's resources to do that very thing.
But Someone had other plans for me, I guess.
Vacations are also not happening.
So both points are "moot".
How about Jesse for a name? (Get the joke?)
just tossing the missions trip out there as one of the option for traveling to south america
i could had just as easily suggested drug runs...but missions trips sound so much nicer
and thanks for reminding me of Jesse ( i gotta admit, i didnt catch the joke) i almost forgot to add "non gender specific names" to the list
