The Royal Hound Winston is totally oblivious to traffic. That dog has been living around the world with me. All over Canada, Bermuda and now Ireland. The fact that it cost me 2,400.00 CDN to get that dog (who is afraid of mice) over here to Ireland is a testament to how stupid I am, I mean how important he is to us. But the spooky part of all this. I LISTENED to your post. I suggest you get yourself to Thailand and operate as a girly boy from the sounds of it. Fun and Profit ;-) All the Best Cranky I can understand your issue. The Royal Hound Winston is totally oblivious to traffic. That dog has been living around the world with me.

We have considered it, but they are difficult to get here, as far as I can find out. Brianf - You're one sadistic b*st*rd. I keep that kind of thing for Herself and K8. Michelle - Thank you for your kind words, and I'm sorry about your father. You're right - we are different - I'm Irish! Caro - It's a harsh but effective way of teaching them. I wouldn't wish any pain on Sandy, but if only she could have some kind of scare with cars...... Baino - I must drop you a mail about that!

She wasn't hurt badly, but it left her terrified of cars - when a car approaches she jumps into the ditch, crawls in as far as she can on her belly and puts her paws over her face. At least she can go visit the neighbours and we don't have to worry about her getting knocked down. Our Cleo was hit by a car when she was about six months old.

Near as I can tell the only differences between you and he are; he wasn't Irish and you probably aren't a dope smoking hippy. Damn I miss him- passed this May.

Maybe you could build one of those overly complicated contraptions one sees in movies. You know Sandy steps on a trip wire and something full of spikes and handgrenades come swinging out of the trees. Wait, why not just ask your local constabulary to patrol your property line 24/7? You could always call the RAF and see if they will do flyovers or you could implant Sandy with a GPS chip and keep track of her whereabouts on your laptop. Grandad,

They are free to roam about 3 of our 5 acres before they get a 'beep' then a 'blast' from the collar. It took a little training (read shock treatment) to get them used to the idea but it works. It only has to happen once! Although Lily sometimes is sooooo tempted by wondering dogs chasing bunnies in the back paddock that it's worth being zapped to go and play! I've picked her up from various vets 3 times as doogooders handed her in whilst straying on busy roads (the dog not the doogooders) Grandad, our dogs have the electronic collars.
