Sooo....as of this morning, I have become a mean neighbor. About three weeks ago, I left Elvis in the backyard with some feed, water, and his dog house. Three hours later, I came home to find the neighbors greate dane in my yard. She managed to chew the feed bowl into five pieces on top of destroying some equipment that my husband had stored back there. We had already had the issue with them trying to dig under the fence, with Elvis helping on the other side, of course. So, I could not get a leash on her to take her home, when I finally got one on her, she fought it horribly. I am not big enough to lift her over the fence, so I cut the darn thing and put her back through and rewired it together.
To make a long story short, the neighbor had been sending her small children to fill in the holes on their side, did not work. I told her that I was going to put an electric fence up. As cruel as it sounds, I got the fencer designed for cattle because I knew Elvis has a really high pain tolerance. It took one time and Elvis knows to stay away and stay off of the fence. That was a few days ago.
This morning, my neighbors dog, tried to go over the fence and got a really nasty surprise. Then she tried to go under it and got zapped again. This time she hauled butt home. My neighbor witnessed this from her window, knowing that my fence was electrified, did not try to stop her dog, but then got pissed that her dog got zapped. Needless to say, she called screaming and yelling and I very simply told her. I take care of my animals, I ensure that they are leashed trained, up to date on their shots, I buy quality feed and equipment. I will not tolerate the destruction of my property by animals that have free reign. Did I mention that her dog is already limping from being injured in a fight with another neighbors dog, after she had jumped their fence?
Anway, I have lost 1/2lb of butt after that chewing but I got to say ( I know this sounds cruel) but it was funny to watch her dog haul butt, I was watching from my window too.
