More Dogs and Fences

SO this is an example of where Men and Women can be very different. Across the side front yard is a fence the previous owners had put up, its just a wire fence and timbers. It seems that the timbers are rotting away which happens over time. My husband showed me where in two spots it was really bad and they basically were non existent. He mentioned we would have to fix them this weekend otherwise the whole fence might go down- with dogs this might not be the best thing.

So I have an idea of fix, and my husband has an idea of fix. I would have taken the old ones out and probably cemented them in to make it sturdy. He decided we just needed to take the post hole digger- put in a partial timber on the back side and bolt them together in a couple of places. 

I admit this way took about an hour- the way I was thinking probably a few hours, it doesn't look very pretty- its pretty RED NECK if you ask me, but I know for now it will do the job and it didn't really cost any money.

Dogs and Fences

We have added two great danes to our family since Christmas, one was a stray that then got away. He had been abandoned and really abused by someone in his past. We truly thought he had died and he was lost to us. Our friends helped us by getting a new great dane, which the kids instantly fell in love with. A few days later that male great dane appeared again and it took a while but we were able to recapture him. Our intention was to help him get better and then relocate him to another family but he has stolen our hearts and it looks like he found his home. 

That means we have some fence work in our future. This week the lab that we have dug out under the fence line because it was just cow wire and boards. We were able to fix that area but it was about $30. We also added some wood to the inside in hopes that our catahoulla will stop JUMPING this high fence. Thankfully the great danes can't jump it for sure.

It looks like we really should do the rest of it but we have to save a little because we figured we need about $80 in boards. It will really give us some privacy though and I am going to love that!
