I hate the neighborhood kids

Is your name Mr. Wilson?

 

I would try to find out where the boys live and talk to their parents about them trying to come in your yard and sticking their hands in the fence. Just say that you are concerned that the dog my take it as an act of aggression.

I also would be friendly with the kids and maybe even let them in once in a while so they can pet Molly/Holly/Ollie and make friends. Just make clear they can't stick their hands in the fence or come in unless invited (and put a lock on the fence).

Last thing you want is your dog biting one of those kids.

Also, if you are going to live there a while, it's better to make friends.

It's one thing to have 7- 8-year olds who don't like you. It's another thing to have rowdy 15- and 16-year-olds who have it in for you.

 

8 + ) = 8)

When you click the shades smiley button on the reply window, that's what it puts there.

 

That's about the worst advice possible. If your dog bites a child, the dog gets put down if the parents report it. Period.

 

Actually I was thinking this might be more of a comet bomb scenario.

 

I don't know... could be the shit that keeps on giving...

 

Now git off my lawn!

 

Next time it happens, I'll hitch up my sleep shorts, throw on some black socks and run out there shaking my fist at them.
And if they hit a ball into the yard? I'm keeping it.

 

Youo could always round them up and haul them off to Nebraska.

 

There is no place like Nebraska, you know.
