OK. I'll stay out of Nebraska.

WUT???

If people being free to not buckle up animals in the car bothers you then by all means avoid the region. There is no issue with people being free to do as they please in this situation. The issue is folks who think they should be able to tell everyone else how to car for their dogs. Fortunately only a small % of extremist believe dogs should be buckled up so it will likely never be added to the list of freedoms that have been taken away. Heck even greenie bunny humpers let their doge ride in the subaru with no seat belt.

An interaction/altercation between an over zealous dog seatbelt advocate and a rancher with a dog riding on the flat bed would be an instant hit on you tube IMO. LOL

It seems so convenient to just load your dog up in the back and take them with you. According to the Humane Society of the United States, 100,000 dogs are killed each year in accidents involving riding in truck beds.

Security system is cellular. Records and retains everything for seven days. I have option to save any portion of what is recorded. No wires to cut and by the time they unplug it is still recorded off site which I can access anywhere anytime. I don't have to feed it, it doesn't tear anything up and I don't have any crap to watch out for. I worked in a plumbing shop for over nine years. Was around some of the most viral smelling crap you can think of. There was a dog pound on the base I worked at and we had to some times unstop the drains in the dog runs. All the stuff and every thing I came in contact with dog crap was the only thing that ever made me puke. I can't stand it. I just make me sick knowing the dog licks his butt and then people let them lick them like their kissing them. May as well just reach down and grab a hand full after their done dropping it and have a taste. I respect those who have them and take care of them and give them a purpose in life. But no respect for those who get them and let them run at will and don't do anything with them but maybe feed them every now and then. My cattle and chickens don't invade their space. Theirs shouldn't invade mine. Simple as that.

Yeah I don't agree that dogs should run free and I feel that the owners are 100% responsible for the dogs actions, if there letting there dog run, that's just asking for trouble.

Heck in Ohio if my cattle got out and hurt someone, I could get sued and lose my house, and last Tuesday I looked out my back yard and my cattle were all out in the back yard headed to the neighbors, I slipped on my boots, had a few choice words going back to the barn and found the gate open and the chain on the ground, idk who did it but I think it was more of kids paying games, luckily I was home to get them pinned back up. I soon put a heavy chain and lock on the gate so a passer by isn't tempted, honesty lock I call it.

So despite how much you try people can come along to sabotage, same with dogs and at the end of the story, the owner is at fault.

One thing my dog does is puts me in a better mood, I can be out at the barn and things aren't going right, but as soon as I open that door that dog is running around the house with a toy in his mouth wanting to play, excited as can be to see me. I end up playing with him and after 15mins I'm relaxed and calm. There's many benefits to a dog as there is many drawbacks. As for the dog pooping in the back yard, I can care less, my yard is big and I don't even use the part of the yard he poops in so I'm not dodging land mines all the time, he poops about 40-50yds from the house. At the most I get a whiff of poop when I'm cutting the grass on the riding mower, by the time I get done the tires are mostly cleaned out s no big deal.

I lived in my house for about 6 months without a dog, house stayed cleaner longer but felt more empty without one, I'm just used to having one in the house, was always one in the house growing up.

Holy sh__ ovrszd, what kind of magic do you use, and what kind of dog do you have?? We should all be so lucky as to be able to control our dogs so well. Our Airedale is not too bad, but holy smokes we could never get him to behave like your dog does! Lucky man, you are.

P.S. Any secrets you would care to share would be much appreciated. For example, our Jasper is smart as a whip and knows exactly what we want him to do, but will simply ignore our "come" command if we are out on the acreage at the cottage and the neighbour is up, and Jasper sees his dog. Off he goes for a visit (he is very friendly), and there is no stopping him until he is finished sniffing butts and stuff and loses interest. We even use cheese (his favourite) as a lure, but to no avail. On the trail with no other critters around, however, he will stick pretty close and come if we call him.

Thanks for the compliments. Not fishing for any.

I'm guessing your dog lives in a controlled environment, house, pen, leash, etc.?

I'm a dog guy... I love dogs. No such thing as a bad dog, just bad dog owners. Here in rural VA it seems to be the rule to let dogs run as they wish. I haven't had to shoot one, yet... Haven't run over one, yet...But if I ever do, I'll be in jail for beating the dog's owner senseless. It never ceases to amaze me how lazy so many dog owners are. The lack of respect in the ownership of an animal is a serious problem. It is called taking responsibility. To dismiss that responsibility in the vein of, it's just a dog, is reprehensible.

My Vet and friend says "if you own pets, take care of your pets". He means that in the broadest terms.

Took Willard to see him for a rash. Had a leash snapped on him when I took him inside. Doc Stewart glanced at Willard then looked at me sternly and said "take that off him". I unleashed Willard and never snapped it back on him. Doc understood that Willard sidn't need that leash to behave. :)

I'm a dog guy as well. Before I got married, if I met a woman that didn't like dogs, she didn't get a call back for a second date. 👎If she had a dog, she went to the top of the list...🖒

Oh, my dog's a mutt someone dumped at my farm. He scoffs at "purebred" dogs that people buy. :)

I'd rather have some of the neighbor dogs roam over instead of their kids treaspassing with their 4 wheelers.

I was a little bad about that as a kid, 85% of the time I had permission.

Biggest thing was the road, just a few passes and a Sherrif would show up an hour later, old neighbors must have really had a hard time with my friends and I.

Now that I'm older, it doesn't bother me as much to see quads passing threw as long as there not going out of there way to tear things up.
