I was actually thinking along that line. Tie the dog where he could get to the cars and such, but, I ain't one to tie a dog up. I couldn't let it loose, because of the neighbor that shoots animals, has shot 2, possibly 3 of mine so far. ( won't go into it, a story in it's self) and he is the primary suspect. I dog that would bark when someone come around would be god enough, no need for the saw. I figured it would run the course, Dog barks, Leslie elbows me to check it out, I get up, load his A$$ full of rock salt. But, my reaction time isn't very fast, if I am coming out of a sleep, so he would be way down the road by the time I was locked and loaded, and coherent enough to aim.
So I took the easier way out and got locking caps.
