BL> Get a dog and train it to chase cats.

 BG> I have trained my bullets to chase (and catch) cats, and they
 BG> eat much less than dogs as well. Nor do they shit all over the
 BG> lawn, either... 

  Bullets leave messy dead cats lying around on the lawn. Dog poop is
just reprocessed cat. I'd rather have dog poop than a cat. It's not as
smaelly and it's friendlier.

 BL> It's pretty frigtening when an ugly black hairy dog comes out
 BL> of nowhere ready to rock 'n' roll a few cats!

 BG> Just as well they bolted, otherwise Jess might have licked them
 BG> to death. 

  He. he, he. It was a close thing! I can't understand why people
don't believe me when I say she's harmless.

 BL> I tell you what: a dog shits all over an old 303 for chasing
 BL> burglars.

 BG> Oh really? Show me a dog which can run at 2500fps then...

  Show me a bullet that can see in the dark and change direction.

 BL> Jess looks really mean and is totally harmless... although, she
 BL> might have gone for them if I'd have encouraged her. 

 BG> Presumably she's marked out her own territory by now, so you
 BG> shouldn't really need to accompany her any more.

  I'm not sure if females are territorial, but she gets upset if
someone comes onto our lawn.

 BG> How old is she now? 

  9 months...

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

 BG> Still losing those things, are you? What's the attraction, I
 BG> wonder?

  Beats me... I've lost three, plus the lawn edger when they broke
into the shed. The burglar must be a gardener.

Regards,
Bob
