>Doh! As if aphids, spider mites, and hornworms weren't enuff, >I finally caught my roomate's border collie whizzin' on my japs, >I guess this explains my 2 mystery losses. Any suggestions? My first thought was: miniature electric fences. Wouldn't hurt the dog, but get the point across to take it's business elsewhere. My next thought was: ...no, that was for groundhogs. And your roommate would probably take a dim view of it. Then I thought: Invisible fence. The electronic kind that have a collar on the dog which shocks (gently) if the dog crosses over the buried "fence". Usually used to keep dogs *in* the yard, but should work in reverse. Scott... KCK
