  Get a dog and train it to chase cats. I disturbed two hoons in my
back yard last night, yelled "Cats!" and when Jess attacked they ran
like crazies! I didn't even get a swing at them with my hammer - they
were a 50 metres up the street by then. ROFL! It's pretty frigtening
when an ugly black hairy dog comes out of nowhere ready to rock 'n'
roll a few cats!

  I tell you what: a dog shits all over an old 303 for chasing
burglars. The beauty is that you know some bastard is not going to
sneak up on you in the dark; the dog sees them first. Jess looks
really mean and is totally harmless... although, she might have gone
for them if I'd have encouraged her. 

  I'll bet they're the pricks who have been stealing my hose fittings.

Bob
