Stamina, I have none it is gone. I do more piddling that actual get er done when doing my chores.

I live way out in the country so I dint worry about kids in my yard, but it infuriates me to have the neighbors dogs in my yard or running my livestock. Keep in mind I am 100 yards off the road and my property is fenced.

……

Yes I am one of those who almost daily now will say...at the risk of sounding like Mom or Nannie or Pa...you get the idea. These kids these days...when I was 20...

I HATED when dogs would come onto my farm! And they always were pets of former city dwellers who moved to the country and thought it was cool to let the dogs run loose.

Also, I too am sounding like my parents lately, when I’m talking to other people’s kids! (I am very grateful that my grandchildren are well behaved and really nice human beings.) I have seen such brats out there. No discipline. True sense of entitlement even on the very youngest! So that’s when old ageisms creep out of my mouth! I gotta give them some wisdom! Lol.

Yes I use to hear this a lot. "Part of the reason we moved to the country is so we could let the dogs run". Seriously do ya think your country neighbors want your dog on their property? Do ya think a dog's chances are any better in the country of not getting hit by a car or attacked by a coyote or shot by someone protecting their livestock? I love animals so much more than people these days.
