Thread: Keeping kids out of my yard

Never seen such a mean looking poodle

That dog has that "I'm gonna kill you for this" look on its face....

Just tell everyone in the neighbourhood that your garden used to be the area where a chemical plant tipped their waste and that you were advised never ever to grow vegetables for human nor animal consumption in your own garden!

I can lend you Tank.....he is about 220 lbs now....

Tank looks a bit like the bull mastiff I used to have but Samson was fawn and was only around 150lbs. Still quite a weight to lift when he decided he didn't want to move.

He is a bit of a moose, but I don't think I could go back to a regular dog now.... even tho Tank is Still Growing!

I was thinking Sandlot Kids... I haven't seen a kid in months... lol

Does he do the slivering bit and then decide to shake his head and send it everywhere?
Samson always took a dislike to anything out of the ordinary and often scared people dressed up and collecting for charity away with those very deep barks. I guess I could have trained him to do the same with kids.

Actually Tank usually only drools when there is people food around. I am very lucky this way.. I only have to spot clean the floors a couple times a day. He simply adores children tho.... he lets kids ride on his back but usually he just knocks them over and tries to kiss them... it can be pretty terrifying for the kids and I really have to be careful when they are around.

His bark is... well, you know it's a really, really big dog.... lol He barks in my ear if I am sleeping and he wants to go outside.. I may be losing my hearing....

Mostly his thing is rides in the car... then he drools. I hear people saying OMG and Holy Schick a lot driving down the road and the wipers on the cars behind me tend to start up....

Yes food, like when the vicar is visiting and is just partaking of a cup of tea and a biscuit when suddenly the walls, his collar and tea cup are all coated in lovely long strings of saliva. 'More tea vicar?'

It's either that or the sudden smell!

At least his head is out of the window by the sounds of things and you don't end the trip looking like a ghostbusters extra because the windows were wound up.

My Bull mastiff was a big softie as well and always left the doberman todeal with any trouble.

Well, you could always claim it was a special biscuit icing... lol...

If I don't open the windows, he tries to sit in my lap when I am driving... I am afraid of what will happen during the winter months... I just leave the back windows open and listen to all the other drivers..... it's fun, we get a bunch of double takes...

I used to have a guard dog.... this time around I just have a big lovable moose... it is nice tho, I can take him everywhere with me, well other than the vicarage.. but they don't really have those here in the states anyway...
