Mudlark, you must live in the same neck of the woods that i do! Right down to we have two corgis in our town. (Which is a high percentage in a town of 1000) We also have deer fenced acreage, but himself and i like to walk for our excercise too. Sigh. Will most likely avoid that beach for a while, and certainly never go there on sunny weekends again. Too many people.
Ranger1, my sympathy is on your side. We live in a major state park area, and you guys work way too hard. And always seem to be on my side, and help me when i need it. Thanks for doing the work you do.
Local dogtrainer (wonderful person!) brought me a bunch of xeroxes from a book from an author: Turid Rugaas, who writes very lucidly. Her books are textbooks for dogtrainers. So, off i go to Alibris to find a copy.
Every one, thanks for letting me vent, giving support, and giving advice!
