Angry finger magnet

If there isn't anything that makes me madder is someone writting wash me in the dirt on my truck. 80% of the roads here are dirt and when it rains almost daily it gets hard to keep it clean. that is no reason for some moron to screw up the paint by scracthin all that dirt into it. My trucks get enough abuse hauling hay, fencing, animals, and every other thing you can put in a truck. That doesn't mean that I dont try to take care of my trucks, they are work horses but even a work horse needs tlc

No one has any business fingering someone else's vehicle. Even this mild form of vandalism is nothing but pure cowardice. These individuals will probably never own anything nice enough for someone else to F with, but we can hope they are caught in the act by someone large and angry.

Next time your truck gets dirty, carefully write "Wash Me" on the vehicle (being very careful not to scratch the paint). Seeing this, would be vandals may pass on your vehicle and go on to someone else!!!

My solution to jerks who try to mess with my truck is Cleo or... Electra Blue The Wonder Dog. They usually get the biggest surprise of their foolish lives when they meet her as she is not very vocal, but carries a big set of teeth! Keep out or face your demise. Or, is it demise your face? AnywayWhen Cleo is in the truck no one messes with it.

Dogs in trucks...

I once saw a dog totally destroy the inside of a vehicle, because someone was provoking it for fun..

The dog won, the vehicle was trashed. The provocateur escaped unmolested.

You watched someone taunt a dog to the point where the dog destroyed the interior and you never interviened?

Dogs will do damage from time to time. Cleo once figured out how to remove the faceplate from the CD Player and chewed it. But that was when she was a pup. She has been the star of every training class that she has been in and as long as she gets enough good attention from me she hasn't damaged anything in 5 years. So train your dog well, give her plenty of attention, lots of love and Kong toys for chewing on. No Problem
