I gotta say that "she is ONE TOUGH COOKIE"........the fence always stopped my Gertie.  The only time she ever excaped was when it rained and the fence wasn't working.  I found her in my neighbor's garage sitting with all of thier CATS as they were handfeeding them tortillas after dinner........I guess she figured they wouldn't notice she wasn't just "another cat".......lol.  It paid off for her.......she got some tortillas.  lol.  Sash.

Off the topic a bit, but I had one of those under ground electric fence things for a dog of mine that liked to "play in the road". I would get so aggravated at her! She would run up to the fence area, stop, and then take a run through it real fast! lol. I checked to make sure it was working by placing the prongs on my mom's butt one day!! lol. It worked!!!! lmbo. But Cookie thought the brief shock was worth the freedom. :-)

Hello Bill,
I couldn't have said all that any better myself.  People don't stop and realize that sometimes a BB Pellet like a bullet could ricochet and hit someone for whom it was not intended.  If I were in Conny's shoes, I'd put up an "electic fence" around my property.  It will not only keep her kids and pets inside the yard, but all others outside.  I've used an electric fence when I had upper 90 % wolf hybrids many years ago, and they work marvelously well.  It doesn't electrocute anything or anyone, just gives a low voltage buzz that backs you off from it.  They aren't that expensive and anyone can install them.  I always put my own up myself, and I'm a girl.......lol.  You don't need a big burly handyman to do it.  There's 3,000 miles between "you and I" too, but I tend to agree with you 100 % on all you had to say.  You must be a "fellow pacifist"........lol.  Sash.

AS i explained later. Cops and animal control dont help. The bb's
are plastic. And the loose Jack Russell jumped onto my baby daughter

its better, to call the cops which lasts two days, the dogs are out
witout owner again, but apperently somebody has problems reading as
i wrote in a other note cleary that iam using plastic pellets.And
boy i wrote at night,geez i dont know if you have kids, but i dont
drag my whole family out when i walk my dog just outside the door.
Yeah i think you would have a hard time explaining to Judge Judie
why your dog runs into other cars, onto other peoples property is a
nuisance pet. I have the darn right to defend my safety and property.
What else what do uou want me to do?
>Connie
=======================================
 
 
Connie, What Would I have you do? Well, First I would say, do you read what you are writing? I mean to say, do you edit and correct your writing? Do, you read it over, before you hit the send button? It makes you sound a bit "red neck", LOL, and I know red neck, having been raised in Texas, (grin). I'm not saying YOU are a red neck, but your actions seem over the top, and rather violent.
 
Yeah, I do think you might try another method of taking action, other than using BB Guns.
 
Just this morning, I read from another Chihuahuas poster suggesting a water bottle with a water/ammonia mixture, that sounds like a great possibility.
 
Yes, I read your post stating that the BB's are plastic, that doesn't change my opinion. The second URL is from Ocala, Florida where a 9 year old girl faces losing an eye over a BB.
 
 
 
I mentioned Judge Judy, because she has cases like this all the time, one dog owner with problems with other dog owners.
 
Now, When you mention, MY dog running onto other's property, (I live in a city, with no front yards), and my dog is much to shy of strangers to run into their car, LOL.
 
What do I think you should do about that, well, thanks for asking, I'd keep a lookout for it, the next time, and keep that ammonia/water mixture at hand, or load up the car in the garage, if you can.
 
You just seem so be so hostile in your reactions to the neighbor's dogs, and the neighbor's themselves. Calling them "stupid"....
 
Hostile energy is going to be reacted to with more hostility.
 
Yes, I am saying to you, Have you considered taking the high road, and creating a better world, in the little ways we react to life. WE all create the world we live, isn't there enough war, or rather too much war.
 
I don't understand why writing at night versus at 151pm makes any difference.
 
Oh, BTW, Maybe I didn't make myself clear when I spoke about the possibility of your BB Gun plastic pellets hitting a child, I was thinking of neighborhood kids, not just yours.
 
One of the best things about this Chihuahua group, is that we can ask for advice and help, so maybe, maybe, we as a group could collectively give you some alternative ways to handle this without the BB guns.
 
LOL, And Connie just be glad, There must be over 3,000 miles between us and our difference in opinion here.
