Yeah CF,DOGS in General are perfect Judges of Characters IMO. We once had a Neighbor Couple, they were Girlfriends, and one of the Ladies would come over, I think Her name was Pat, and Sugar-Bear would just go ape-shit to try and get to Her, and I do not mean in any Friendly way either!!! I cautioned Pat not to ever try and pet Sugar-Bear, but being the know it all She presented Her self to be, She tried one time, when we had Sugar tied up to the Front Porch, and had no idea, She was coming over, when we heard a scream, and I thought "OH NO", well She had come over with Dog Snacks(Sugar Hated Dog Snacks), and tried to befriend our Dog, well to make a long story short, Sugar bit the HELL out of her Hands, not just Hand. There was Blood, Screaming, and a dreadful ROW happening on our front Porch, and at this point We did not even know what was going on!!!
When I got outside and saw what had happened, I instantly got pissed off, because We had warned Her, that Sugar Bear did not like Her energy. She was apologetic, and said it was Her fault. But I still had to take Her to the ER, She got 17 stitches in one Hand and 23 in the Other. All of it came out of My pocket, of Course, and the Dept of Animal Control wanted to take My Dog and Incarcerate her for 2 weeks. After much wheeling and Dealing, We convinced them that we could Quarantine Sugar on our own. They left us with the Ominous Message, that if She bit anyone else, they were gonna put Her DOWN!!! Even after I explained to them that We had warned Pat, to not and try to have any contact with Sugar Bear, as Sugar just did not TRUST/LIKE Her. Pat corroborated our story, and We were able to keep Her at Home in Quarantine Status for 2 weeks. The funny thing about this incident, was that Pat's Girlfriend Jen, was just LOVED by Sugar Bear!!!
Which told Me that there was something not right about Pat
. Well come to find out, about 2 Months later, Pat beat the Crap out of Jen, and Jen came to our House for Safety. She said that She felt it was the safest place to go, as Pat was Deathly afraid of Sugar-Bear, and I and My Wife were there to protect Her
. And She knew that We would not let Pat come over, ever, after the Biting incidence. So We put Sugar-Bear out on Her Leash/Dog Runner, to keep Pat away. Jen informed us that Pat had been being Physically/Mentally abusive to Her for about Two Years now, and She wanted Out of the Relationship, PRONTO.
So We called the Sheriffs Office, and they sent a Car out for Pat, who by this time had barricaded Herself into Her Cabin/HOME, and according to Jen had .38 Special Revolver. Well as You can imagine, this really ratcheted things up another NOTCH! Before too long, We had an entire Cadre of Police, along with their Special Weapons Response Teams in our Yard and House, which they were using as a CP, with our permission of Course! They finally got Her to Surrender Herself, after about a 4 Hour Standoff. I guess the Moral to the Story is, that if Your Dog does not like someone, be extra wary of that Person. They Arrested Pat, Jen got a Restraining Order against Her, and We lived next to Jen for another 3 Years, with NO PROBLEMS, and Sugar Bear just LOVED HER!!!:
: So always trust Your Dogs Instincts, it could save You a lot of Trouble, and Maybe even save Your Life, or Someones else!!! Dogs seem to have a 6th sense about all this Crap, and I always see how My Dog reacts to someone New, that I do not know from Adam. If they do not pass the Dog test, they have just Failed My Test!!!
I have NEVER had Anyone try to Steal from My Garden, as of Yet
. And I hope this remains the Norm. During Flowering, I stay up all night long, patrolling My Garden at Varying different Times during the Night, always at Different Times, so I do not set up a Pattern, My Enemies could use against Me. I might go out and check my Perimeter, then go right back out after a few Minutes, and do it all over again. Or I might do a walk around, and not go back out for another 50 minutes to an Hour, if someone is trying to raid My Garden, I want them to have NO IDEA, when I could show up again!
I just want them to know"THAT I WILL BE SHOWING UP, SOMETIMES SOONER, SOMETIMES LATER", but I will be coming!!! I can also Hear everything that is going on in the Garden, so if I Hear something unusual, I get right on it. I have Baby Monitors set up in My Garden, they are the cheapest, most efficient way to Hear what is going on in My Garden, and work like a CHARM!!! We should pass that info along to other Growers that need a cheap and highly effective listening device for their respective Gardens or Grow Spaces, it really does WORK WELL. If I ever caught someone in My Garden trying to Rip Me Off, I would not just go and arbitrarily Shoot Them, or Beat them over their Heads, unless they attacked Me of Course, then Woe Be to Them, as I have spent Four Tours in actual Combat, with Bullets coming at Me from the other side. And I know how to end those types of Confrontation Quickly and Lethally. But if they complied with My Orders to Desist, I would have them Lie down on their faces prone, make them stretch their Arms out to their sides in full view, cross their Legs one over the other while laying down, and then call My local Sheriff to come and arrest Trespassers on My Property. As I am fully Legal, there would be no problems with the MMJ, they(THE SHERIFFS) all know Me anyways, and appreciate My adherence to the Law. I have even deployed with a couple of them. They know My Wife as well, and Her Medical Conditions, and are "ALL" Sympathetic to our Plight. Yeah CF a Weed Bunker would be pretty Cool,if they did not dry out so Damn Fast!!!
And as far as loosing Sugar Bear, I think about Her everyday since She Passed. I have even woken up, out of SLEEP, with Tears streaming down My cheeks, just from Dreaming about Her! I LOVED THAT DOG!!!
I know She has become an Angel, or some such thing. Today it is a sweltering 110 degrees, out of the Garden, in the Garden it is hitting 121 Degrees, way to hot to get anything constructive done. But the Plants are SURE Enjoying it!!!
Thanks for stopping By Again CF, I gotta go check Your World out Now!!!
Take CARE FRIEND. SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.
