Making a new fence out of the old fence

[tamrock]

Many years ago my old privacy fence blew down. I went out and cut it up in manageable sized panels and just stacked it behind a playhouse the kinds had that I use for a shed now. I saw this little Ryobi table saw at the thrift store for $29.95 and started thinking, "what if". I've been pulling nails and sawing up pieces of cedar. Heck I even use the old nails. I did buy a 18" wide roll of chicken wire to tack to the base so it ain't totally free. Hopefully with my garden fenced in, I'll do better in the war against the rabbits this year who have no concern of me anymore. They all feel super safe in my yard now that my rabbit killing dog is no more. I still have my little dog Bella, but she's now 17 and is not up to chasing baby bunnies and killing Voles anymore these days. She's still doing alright for being 119 years old in dog years, but needs to wear diapers and sleeps a lot. The rabbits have no concern of her anymore as she strolls around the backyard.

Here’s my rabbit killer, Lilly. Such a sweet looking little dog that is actually a viscous killer! Half beagle, half shih tzu. Has a very similar look to your dog.

If I had rabbits here I would grow a garden just to feed them. I feed the squirrels & a very old raccoon.

I would say she'd be an excellent combination in varmint control. She definitely looks ready for action. Working on this fence I was sorting the pickets out and ran across this piece with teeth marks. Bella in her younger days was determined to get at a baby bunny hiding in the old fence panels. She had a mouth full of splinters. Putting her in the house she just couldn't get that bunny out of her mind by the look on her face. These days the rabbits don't even look up at her when she's out walking around in the back.

I used to have a big dog. We would walk in the neighborhood where quite many Coyotte would be active, even during the day.
My dog sometimes would stare at a Coyote for 5 - 6 seconds, but would never show a reaction.
After staring at the Coyotte would usually just go back to it own sniffing business at the trail/ gass,trees.....

Actually, to be Honest in front of my now Dead friend ( my dog ), oftentimes he would stare at the Coyottes not just for 5 - 6 seconds but for about 15 or more, would seem like in a sort.of a trance as if he wanted to tell something to his wild brethren. But then would Just abruptly take his gaze off them and keep walking....
