Dog on LeroyLeft. You had quite the day. Good thing that you got free breakfast and beer. And someone cut and stole your power line. That is crazy! People will steal any thing.

Here in Clovis, when I take my aluminum cat food cans to the recycling center, I have to wait a few days to get my money so that they can check to be sure I'm a legit recycler. Why can't "they" catch the guys that steal the copper from the power lines and phone lines when it is turned in for $$$? It has to look a little fishy doncha think?

Yea I think! I like the Idea of having to wait for the check. It would cut down on alot of stealing around here. They have just made it in S.C. that you have to have a permit to sale copper. So, I guess they will be going to the other bordering states to sale it now.

First... you get catfood in aluminum cans?? huh

When we took my daughter's cans in for her begin of July we got paid by a check. I was shocked. Most places around here pay with cash.

My ex at lunch today, was saying in his neighborhood they are taking wiring from campers.

I do think we all the copper thieves around that yes, bringing that in should be getting you looked closely at.

I really don't think they want to catch the thieves. It cost to must to procute. That my opinion.

Trust me if you have copper you have copper thieves.

They steal the bronze flower holders on gravesites in my area.

On to a lighter note. I got Franklin T. house ready for him to move into tomorrow. Would you just put him inside his new house tomorrow night and shut the door or would you give him a few days to get formiliar?

Taco's sound good. I went to McDonald's and it was cold. Yuck!

How much different is it then his old one? Put him in it in the morning when he can explore it yet be free to leave it. Then he will sorta know it before you need to put him in at night. I am assuming you lock him up at night from how you did the question?

He sleeps in a half of a dog house on the ground now. It is located in a 10' x 10' chain link dog kennel. His shed will be a 7' X 7' and I am planning to lock him in at night.

I am going to post picture tomorrow even if I have buy a new camera.
