Re: [papercreters] Dogs

Greetings,
Rather than banning the dogs, how about a dog corral? Cattle panels
will hook together with snap clips and either 4 or 6 panels will form a
pen, easily moved to no one place on your property get too soiled. Tell
your friends that the corral is for the dogs safety, as you hate for one
to get hurt.
Bright Blessings,
Kim
