What is in your backyard?

[Hippie420]

Not the whole yard lol. I got .36 acres. I'd love to be able to fence it all in but $$. I only did 170' round trip. Wore my half old azz out tho

Way nicer than the little 10'x10' coops most folks use. Your dogs are gonna love itl

I am sure it gets exponentially pugnacious the higher it gets.

You're not allowed to play with Walt anymore.

When I lived out near Calverton (old air base) was nobody

Yep which became Grumman, we used to park on rt 25 watching them take off.
Now its all industrial and was talk about a drag strip!

I am old. Who is Walt?

Got the dog door in.

It's amazing how you can get two doggos to bash thru a 10.5" opening at the same time with "you want some bacon?".

I got 4 days to get them used to it... The new job starts Monday. "I'm not good at new ________" is a gross misrepresentation of how nervous I am

My neighbor just told me he wants to cut down his 5 tall pines (2 tallest shade my side which is great) and he wants to put a brick wall up because his dogs bark too much at us.

I could care less about the dogs I hated the trees at first when they were tiny and blocked the mountain views but then the 2 closest tapped into my lawn and exploded. I love the trees now they could just use a trim. The brick wall is 10k of uselessness I planted a wall of hedges a decade ago and it’s 90% filled. Last year I piped irrigation to them and this year is the first year I have to trim out my walkway.

I don’t want the wall. But I don’t want to be that neighbor, we’ve been real cool with each other thus far, they just have this gaggle of Chinese crested rat dogs and now that’s somehow my fault?

A brick wall? Wow do others have brick walls in your hood?

 

[SubmarineGirl]

The two dogs behind me bark all the time chicken guards I think. The dog next door barks too but my dog BB doesn’t enjoy the barking thing. I’m glad and she calms them down when I let her out they quit barking too

Some parts of Europe high walls make good neighbors

Here and there but our houses are chain link for 5 yards on either side of me

I talked with my wife. We would at most split a vinyl fence. Sucks but that’s what we will offer if he decides to go through with it. I don’t want to remove my hedge, and digging a footing for a brick wall will kill the hedges and destroy my irrigation.

Most likely come down to actual property line layments

The dogs will still bark. Maybe more since they will only smell and hear you. Some bark collars would be cheaper than $10k. I am not a fan of shock collars but I am not a fan of yappy little dogs either…

This thing is 20 plus years old. It lives thru sub-zero and 100+ degree temps. The kid in China who made this in his sweatshop did a great job…

just walk around with this turned on dogs will stop barking and run away from you. Put it in your pocket and turn it on. Your neighbor will think you have a spell on his dogs. Dogs can hear it people can’t. Really works too

Uh, that'd be Sir Walter, or Unca Walt.

Wouldn't fly at Rancho Hippie unless you didn't mind the occasional coon, possum, stray cat, or skunk surprising you when you got home. 'Yotes, too.

 

[Kindbud]

Hhhmmmm what's in my back yard my 2 cats a few wild ones and lots and lots of Nature, trees trees and more

 

[OGKushman]

My strawberries are going hard. I had a strawberry and powdered sugar bowl earlier today with my daughter.

Yes my cat brought in a snake thru one of those doors. There’s always a risk of something getting in but your area is fenced in and you have dogs so that will help
