I have two dogs which im fond of, a bloodhound and a blue heeler. I keep them up, but ones i had in the past that run loose, i told my nabors if they came on their property and was a nusance to killem and call me and i would haul them off after shaking their hand. The nabors told me the same in return. I love where i live and my nabors, its ashame it aint like that everwhere.
