There used to be a fence, but it rotted away and I am to cheap to put another one up..

If they want it let them pay for it...

My aunt and uncle use to live in the older part of the city. My aunt would open her window and sit at the dining table and shoot the bull with her neighbor woman.

I know what you are saying Don. We put up 60' of fence with a small gate a few years ago. It was just over 1,400 bucks for that. I must say it got done a lot quicker and nicer that if I would have done it.

When I moved here 25 years ago there was no fence. We put up a fence when we got our last dog.
