Re: Dogs (was Hello out there)

remember the water hose motion detectors? Hmm, maybe you could get something like that and attach a hose end sprayer full of ink - like the ink canisters they use to identify stolen currency. That would identify him. If it holds up in court for bank robbers, it should work on him too!

Oh my god. Words fail me.
Well...there's outdoor motion detectors so you could be alerted when
someone's close...and the alert could sound inside so the intruder
wouldn't hear it but you'd have a chance to catch them by surprise.

But hopefully your mastiff will be just the thing. As long as the jerk
doesn't start cutting your fences or something where the dog can't get
to him.
Can your mastiff be a livestock guard dog as well? Some mastiff types
are LGDs I think. The LGD breeds can be pretty aggressive to human
intruders while protecting their herds, but I don't think they make very
good pets.

I live in the country and have "no trespassing" signs all over the fence
line.  My husband put up security cameras, security lights (this guys
knows
the cameras are there and he wears a hoodie jacket and covers his
face..we
have that on film, but no face so it doesn't do us any good) and we also
hired a retired swat/policeman to sit out here one night.  The peeping
tom
usually shows up on a full moon because it's so bright.  But he also
watches
from a distance - and I think he knew the cop was out there waiting on
him
because he didn't show up that night.  That police officer said he would
be
happy to loan us 2-3 police dogs but we declined because I didn't want
an
altercation with MY dogs.  We flat out told the Sheriff's office that if
we
see him again, we're gonna shoot 'em in the *ss and feel sorry about it
later.  My husband went to high school with the sheriff and the district
attorney - both of them said "Robert - if it were ME, I would feel the
same
way - and we may have to go through the "formalities" of arresting you
if
you did it..but I doubt anything would happen.  Or, we might just have
to
look the other way or say it was self-defense, so don't shoot him in the
*ss, shoot him in the knee cap!"As far as getting sued for the dog
biting or
attacking - I doubt that would happen.  We have multiple complaints
filed
with the sheriff's office and a description of the perp - and they KNOW
who
he is but have to catch him in the act.  He has a record for indecent
exposure and disorderly conduct.  AND I have worked in the legal field
for
years and have some really good attorneys that would represent us if
that
were to happen.  I think everybody around here would like to beat the
guy to
a pulp.  He targets houses with young girls (I have four girls) and
BLONDES
of all things (I'm blonde, two of my daughters are blonde). This guy
always
leaves a "sign" that he was here - just so you know.  He leaves a
cigarette
butt on our porch, unscrews the outdoor light bulbs, opens a pasture
gate -
and he is very savvy.  He is an ex-military guy and knows how to get
around
this area.  He travels down the creek so he isn't caught.  I have, on
frosty
mornings, seen his footprints outside my bedroom window and my girls
windows.

That's awful. But be careful. I don't know what your local laws are,

here if my dog bit someone - even if they were trespassing on my

they'd win but it could happen. Still, a nice huge dog barking its

head

off should give anyone second thoughts!
Can you do anything with security cameras? Lots of web cameras out

there

these days.
Sort of related - in the city next door they are passing a law that
every pit bull and Rottweiler must be neutered. They are trying to

clamp

down on the gangs. Pit bulls are a real problem here, there is not a
week goes by that there is not an incident, but I have my doubts that
this law will be effective.

He's still out there?   I figured that time Robert shot at him he'd

stay

away.  What a jerk.  I hope she chews him up!
