To the scum who broke into my gaff ...

Disgusting thing to happen, sorry mate.

Yea ditto. I fcuking hate burglars with a passion. They are pure scum who invade people's personal space and in my humble should be shot on sight when possible. It's more than just property theft IMHO, for many people it can be like the rape of your home and worse your sense of safety. I personally witnessed an elderly neighbour waste away and end up taking her own life because of a burglary. If I could slip a noose around those worthless pieces of human scum and pull the lever on the trap I would and would have no sleepless nights afterward. I would consider it a service to the community.

It doesn't always work though. A few houses on my friends road a few months back got burgled and they had big dogs, but the sicko's poisoned a few dogs and then burgled the houses. This was in rivervalley swords Co. Dublin.

Poison my dog and that's when I'm breaking out the longbow. At which point said uneducated scum will realise why longbows were so feared on the medieval battlefield. Luckily my hound will only accept food from me. Everyone else stepping over the threshold without me in attendance is pretty much on his "This must fcuking die now" list, even if they're holding a juicy steak(which can be a pain in of itself). My last guy was the same. Dunno why TBH as I didn't train them that way(and wouldn't know how TBH), so more luck than judgement.

Also, I wouldn't just get a big dog just for security anyway, because it's not a good thing at all just to have it cooped up in the back garden all the time as a security measure. The dog needs a lot of looking after and exercise every day and might not be good if a home-owner is out working all days of the week.

+1000 B. Never mind the feeding, exercise and all that, a dog needs to be around their family as they see it, for most of the day. It is NOT a pet for an absent owner*. It is in no way a house alarm substitute and if you get one for that purpose and leave him or her alone unattended, then don't be surprised if they don't end up attacking you.





*Cats are more independent in this regard, but contrary to popular they too need looking after and can miss their family. There's a cat that comes around to my gaff pretty much every day in the mornings after his owners go to work. He's not looking for food either. I've never fed the fecker. He basically comes for cuddles and attention and then fecks off on his rounds around noon. Funny enough and for some reason he's one of the few animals/people/inanimate objects not on my hounds "This must fcuking die now" list(unlike any other cat, bird, rodent that crosses his territory).

The Dublin mountains is a nice place.

I dunno B, the acid soil can preserve too much evidence. The sea is a great corrupter of the flesh. Just sayin like.
