Great idea!!! After all the stories I have read here lately, I was thinking about walking with one of the many golf clubs we have around here. (Hubby is a golf coach.) However, I like the umbrella idea. It would not cause harm and should be very effective! Copper is not afraid of it because we used one often last winter! Thanks for the idea!
