Back about '91, I gained a flashlight left by someone up to no good.
Had a large mutt that could climb fences, so I had run a cattle electric fence wire all around the yard, including the gate.
Then we went across country on a two week vacation.
Left the mutt in the back yard, with a wash tub full of food, a faucet running into a pail, and the electric fence unit on.
When we pulled into the driveway after the trip, the gate was open, the mutt was sitting there, wagging it's tail inside the open gate.
When I went to inspect, there was a mini maglite laying on the ground.
Looked like someone wanted to check out the patio door or windows on the back of the house at night, and found out what the mutt had learned...
You don't fuck with electric fences
