RE: Need a dog repellent

Oh great, they LIKE chile! Well I haven't tried it yet but I have cayenne
powder soaking in water, I'll strain it tonight and spray, see what happens.

Bonnie that made me laugh out loud. I had the same issue with mine. 
Repellants were a GREAT thing to the dogs.
Cyndi, visions of Trixie made me laugh too. Ah the joys of dogs. I know they

have those recipes listed online somewhere. Probably under organic deer 
repellant or something. I've not had to use anything like that since my dogs

were puppies. That was a long time ago. Let us know how it turns out.
