He's young and labs are very trainable.<BR/><BR/>I guess you should say something. I'm sure they'll be horrified. But it's really their duty to train and exercise the mutt, and that's what they'll have to do. <BR/><BR/>In the meanwhile there are some crystals they sell at the pet shop to put into your garden. It might keep dear puppy away.<BR/><BR/>Short of this, you might have to adopt him, Eryl.Kananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317494343177263398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-66184345672310357482008-07-31T17:41:00.000+01:002008-07-31T17:41:00.000+01:00Pat ~ They're not bad neighbours at all, in fact t...Pat ~ They're not bad neighbours at all, in fact they are very nice people who have always been great neighbours.
