Good point, well taken. I do not want a junkyard dog or anything that
is aggressive. Like Marie wrote, just a warning that something is out
there. Also, so that people that some to visit know they are going to
be announce.

I've got guineas and other than the bug control, they are a nuisance.
I've been making dog food and stew meat out of them. The numbers are
too high for over wintering.
