Not Even a Fence Makes a Good Neighbor

Our neighbors have a Jack Russell Terrier that never. shuts. up. Then when McGwire gets out there, the two of them have to have a bark-fest to greet each other through the 6 foot privacy fence. Duke just never stops though. One day he was yapping away and I jokingly said to Alan that maybe it is time that Cole start playing with his bb gun. Alan looked thoughtfully at the fence and finally says, "Its going to take at least a 22 to get through that fence." I did not say anything but he read the look on my face and said, "oh, you just meant to hurt him a little." Yeesh. I am not that cruel.
