Peppermint Pattie is, in fact, a pretty delicate flower right now...though maybe I am just being softened up. She is 18 lbs at seven months, whereas Corgis are supposed to be between 24 and 26 pounds. The breeder bought her to breed (two kennels sharing her) but had to rethink when she did not grow bigger. She is very, very sweet. Jim, who is not a dog person, likes her...and she already likes him best. The sheriff's deputy finally called. He says there is nothing he can do. She was apparently injured, and said she had been riding a horse, fell off, and three more ran over her. She was found walking down the middle of the highway on a night of freezing fog. The deputy said he almost ran over her. She lives about twenty miles away (so her license says) and is known to be someone who takes meds for a mental condition. Deputy said she appeared to be off her meds. He said I have no "No trespassing signs" so she cannot be prosecuted for trespassing. And, because no one saw her do anything that involved taking the horses off the property, he can only charge her with a misdemeanor, and could not get a conviction. I protested that the California Penal Code says "running off livestock" is theft, and if the livestock is over $100 in value, it is a felony. He basically says there is no evidence she ran them off. She said she had fallen off, could not get out the fence, and so had to open a bunch of gates to get out. Apparently she was like in a daze, talking very fast. So...no help there. I do have animal control helping me try to figure out if she is the same person who has been turning me into animal control. If I can connect that, I can probably get a restraining order. In the meantime, we have eight padlocks, one for each gate in the place. And, I am going to do some major security improvements as soon as I manage to refi my house (which has taken over a month already, with no loan yet in sight).

Maybe another "outside dog" that is a bit bigger. Although Clust is very much a house dog, I would remind you that Corgis are in fact BIG dogs with very SHORT legs. If you don't learn that right up front they will remind you of it continually. -- Steve Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
