Makes me want to have fencing some days

Fucking hell.

I just heard scrabbling up the side of the outside wall of the house, and well my cats like to get into the attic. I figured it was that, so I went outside to go find out if it was that or not.

And saw four small to medium dogs race off my lawn. And my cat's looking at me from the eaves.

Great. Not only have I possibly lost one cat to dogs, they're going after my other ones. No wonder the cats haven't wanted to stay outside at night very long. They'll go out during the day for longer times but at night they stay in now which is not normal for them.

Bad thing is, I can't do a damn thing about the dogs. There's no laws governing them that I know of because we're between city limits. And I've only seen them in a pack at night.

If there are no laws governing them, then they can be... removed.

Are they people's pets or strays?

Pets I believe. But they take off as soon as I get outside so I can't see if they have collars or not. I mean besides fencing, sometimes I want something to make them realize not to get on my property.

They haven't been by most of this week but we do make sure that all the cats are in by the time I go to bed. Especially since the dogs haven't been by the cats are wanting to go outside more. It's getting colder out and they love that. :>

Ha hah ha spoke too soon. The little fuckers tried again. I was calling Misty inside, and just as she was about to get to the door, she looked back and then took off into the house. Then three dogs come racing up my driveway between the cars. I slammed the door shut and they took turned around and took off. I yelled at them to encourage them to leave. I saw two take off for a neighbors lawn but I've never seen those dogs in their front lawn so I don't think they're theirs.

*sigh*

Dad's thinking its too bad we don't own a shotgun.
