No idea, but she airmail overnighted those ties, and sent my present on a 6-12 week odyssey of ground transport and cargo ship cruises. It wouldn’t surprise me if the pony express is involved too.
That is amazing. Gift for my husband with a date certain deadline...cheapest option available. Two more adorable cat bow ties for the 100+ collection...I NEED IT TOMORROW IN HAWAII!!
Me and my step son just got cursed out for walking through about 4 feet of a neighbors property to throw rocks in a city creek. I asked her where her property line was so I wouldn’t walk through it and she told me it was none of my damn business.
Just not sure I get the whole fortress idea of some people. It’s not like we were even trampling grass or something. I hope I don’t get like that when I get old.
UPDATE!!! Stupid Shit thread reminded me of some recent developments. After a year of good neighboring, Otis has returned after his owner decided to not give any fucks again. Early morning, late night, doesn’t matter. He leaves the dog alone for weeks at a time and his dog watchers let the mutt go everywhere. The Good: Otis’ landlords are moving in and he’ll soon be some other neighborhood’s canine terrorist. The Bad: The new neighbors want to build a pool overlooking our backyard, where they’ll laugh and chuckle at our unpooled existence while driving us to extreme jealousy. The Ugly: Otis’ absence will not fix my lawn issue. There is an unchecked hog running wild through the subdivision, grubbing for food and ruining landscape fixtures to and fro. Previously I thought they were feral hogs following the riverbed down from the forests. However, I know have reason to believe one or multiple owners are keeping domesticated pigs despite it violating the HOA covenants. I spotted an escaped piglet with a leash around its neck running down the street early morning Thurs. I don’t know where I’m going with any of this other than I’m kinda hoping someone has some good pig-trapping and bbq advice.
Is there any way a juvenile pig w/o tusks could fuck up my collie and pointer? I met some guy named Clint at the mailboxes the other day, and he assured me I should sick the dogs on it the next opportunity. I have no idea what his qualifications are other than he drives a cool Tacoma and sounded extremely confident.
what would a collie and pointer do besides try to point it out while the other tries to herd it around
I’m trying to picture an escaped domestic pig with a fucking leash on running through my neighborhood.
In your neighborhood? It’d be being chased by a red neck with a boner and a tube of lube in his hand. Does that help?
I think (out of my ass) that the breeders use the English Pointer/hound mixes for coursing/dragging and the GSP for birding around here, and I get the sense there’s some overlap too. But I’m not a hunter, that’s all coming from word of mouth and my strange fascination of watching the local kids’ IG pig hunt and spear fishing videos. Realistically, they’d probably befriend the thing before they hurt it. They were pretty aggressive towards it last time they met in the yard though, way more so than they are w other dogs or people.
ehhhhh sounds like a bad idea, they use pit bulls to corner hogs source: someone once tried to hand me a knife to stab a pig to death, not my cup of tea
Invite Nandor the Relentless over to tell the pig about Panera and he’ll pack his bags in zero seconds flat.
I heard motorcycles were the worst thing to happen to the hogs in the past 20 years, so maybe try that.
As fate would have it, the collie found one last night and tried to square off with it. It was a juvenile—bit bigger than the last one and way bigger than the piglet I saw the other day. They tussled for a sec but she didn’t want the funk and ran behind me for backup, so I had to shoo pig it away. I ran to let the pointer out and grab a 40 lb spiked bully bar (only thing I could think of in the moment), but by then the pig had vanished.
