the transplants (new yorkers) come down this morning. they askd if i would do something about my beavers. ???? what do you mean my beavers i askd?
the beavers that live on your side of the stream are chewing the trees on my side of the stream.and i thought to my self what in the h!@@ are you talking about. so i jumped it my truck and drove up to his place.the closer i got to the stream the mader i got.
when we got down to the stream he said you see what i mean. they'r eating all my trees.and i said come with me and we went back up twords his house.
as we got near his house i said go look at that orange stake over there and tell me what it says on the top of it.so he did and he says line boundry 1996 .he said whats that mean.well i said first off them trees dont belong to you your land stops at that stake.
and second even if it did belong to you im not going to do any thing to them beavers.

Ahhh the old releasing of the trained beavers to chew up the neighbors trees trick eh? That guy sounds like a moron! You should mess with him though....Tell him the only way to get rid of beavers is to go sit near them and bang an old pot with a wrench when ever he sees them or something like that. Or tell him to lay out a trail of cheese puffs in the woods leading them away from the trees they were chewing but he has to wear a dress ' and put on some perfume cause beavers won't follow a man's scent. I'm sure you can think of a way to humiliate him! Have fun!

They do that stuff on the coast once in a while too. They'll lop down a pile of trees in front of a condo project for the view and just eat the fine. LURC etc have wised up to this and now make them replant with adult trees if they cut down too many. This costs them a fortune so they have slowed down their thinning practices.

What took the cake was the time she called animal control and said my dogs were running loose. I said, well, if I owned a german shepherd and a hound, then fine. But I owned a Lab and a Lhasa Apso.
Oh yes, I forgot the time a cat peed in her flowers and she was so certain it was my cat. Told her to be glad I didn't go on them!!!
And, she is the only person on the street who has PINK FLAMINGOS on her lawn....go figure!

Oh my gawwwd! That's funny.
We once had the "animal control" officer come into the door yard and tell us he got a call that we were not shearing our sheep.
He said this with a straight face while pointing his finger in the direction of our 150lb. Komandor with ropes down to the ground.
I called Disgusta and they informed me, was no such law.
My response was, next time he better have a warrant and armed backup!
