How are people supposed to announce they are coming if they don't know you? Send up a flare from the street when they turn off?![]()

i have a quarter mile long drive. and 2 locked gates. if you are invited you can call from the bottom of the drive and i will let you in. if you arent invited...leave... and dont ignore the " PRIVATE PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING KEEP OUT SIGN ". and climb the fence and starting walking up. that would be an invitation to get aerated.
i see most of what happens here anyway. we have a 3 mile long road with 6 houses on it. all on thier own 80-160 acres.

Forgot to mention, while i'm watching visitors, I also make sure they notice my german shepard is watching them and comment on how unfreindly she is, just in case they want to tell all their friends what a great house i have.
Have had several neighbors tell me that I should acclamate my dog to other people and dogs, I promply explained that would defeat the purpose of having a dog.

Lol, I have a police reject boxer I got from the TX boxer rescue when I was there a few years ago. He is a butterball until I say the magic word and then he goes freaking ballistic with growling, barking, hackles standing up, posturing, etc. So when I have people over, I'll put Buddy behind the childgate or something and slip the word into casual conversation. The people always freak out when he gets started and they ask if they'll be ok. I say, "Oh you're fine... with me here. He's a little nuerotic. Tried to attack my mom once. I just wait for the day when someone tries to break in and I'm not here... poor bastards will be sausage. Good boy Buddy. want a treat?!" And they just look at me like I'm crazy! HAHAHAHAHAHA.
In all honesty, he is a wonderful dog and VERY well trained.
Wow I didn't realize this would strike up such good conversation!
The guy was very cool that did the blinds, I still pretty much followed him throughout the house to make sure nothing was taken, double checked when he left and all seems to be in order. good thing is he still has to come back to get one last blind put in that either he forgot at the warehouse or that wasn't ordered. So if I find anything missing I can have a talk with him about it!
My dream is to have a big long driveway, gates, hopefully over 50 acres along with a shooting range right in the back!
