This afternoon I was reminded of the .1% of why I don't:
- People I don't know (always of the male gender between the ages of 16-70something) drive up, ask to fish, without introducing themselves. Many (like the two shirtless teenagers today) are polite; some are rude. Do they really think that will convince me to say yes?!
- People I don't know (always of the male gender between the ages of 16-70something) drive up, ask to hunt, without introducing themselves. Their rationale is that they use: safe guns, arrows, spears, etc. Now, there actually has been two men who were VERY nice, gave me their business card and a list of references and contact information so I could call them back. I actually felt bad for telling them no.
- Teenagers (and sometimes their Dads) who 4-wheel behind our house without permission.
- a Dirt road...dust, dust, dust, dust, dust. Did I mention dust?
- and last but not least, coming home to find people I don't know fishing in the pond, and I'm at home alone.
I guess those are valid reasons to keep my dogs.

wow, i can't believe they would fish when no one was there! you have to be careful! we have the 4 wheeler behind us, so I know what a pain that is!
p.s. what did you do? did you tell them to leave?
sometimes; sometimes I call Bobby or Mrs. Bryan and they have an idea who they are so I don't worry as much; it's decreased the longer we've lived here, but the first three years were a little scary
Strangers scare me...I get annoyed when young "salesmen" come to the door, I know some housewives are probably bored enough to want this company but I'm not! I agree with you Monica, It would make me very uncomfortable to see strange men on my propery...
I cannot believe that people are so mannerless!
