We got a nice bill from the fire department as a result of that.

Kimberley is a good momma. By standards down here, she's probably a bit of a softy, but that's just my opinion.

Y'all take care now!!
Aw, Marilyn! Speaking like a true Texan! Your reply made me chuckle!!! Don't forget, getting out the BB gun and the ole' 22 to fix the larger varments!

Anyway, we've had the wire along one side of the fence for months now. Rebel tried it once or twice and never went there again. It's not like they are constantly drawn to it and shock themselves over and over again. Once or twice that first day out of the 5 months it's been up and that's it. You'd think that I was torturing my dogs with it. I've even been shock with it...walking barefoot and not watching where I was going. Is it uncomfortable...yes. Was it excruciating? No. My kids have even accidently ran into it. Are they dead or did they fry, no. Did they cry??? NO.

But whatever. Everyone knows that I'm very opinionated but I have been trying to behave and not have arguments even though it gets VERY hard at times.

BUT, this thread is not suppose to be about electic wires. It's about Rebel and how his personality had changed after he got out. LAWD! I hate it when people get threads off topic!
