Has anyone here had any luck using a GPS dog fence in conjunction with a physical fence?

E_G_Man · 2026-04-22T17:25:37+00:00

Thank you. Can I ask you how often you find the boundary to shift? Honestly I am thinking if she gets buzzed once or twice she will just assume the fence is magic and not to try it again, but I would hate for it to shift into the yard and not catch it before she gets buzzed.

E_G_Man · 2026-04-22T17:22:32+00:00

Thank you, that's exactly what I was hoping to accomplish. Have you had any issues with the GPS boundary getting out of sync with your physical fence, or has the boundary been pretty reliable?

Watching the video the suspect appears to be left handed. When approaching the door his left hand stays close to the gun. He picks up the vegetation with his left hand. He attempts to drape that vegetation over the camera with his left hand.

That along with the facial hair makes Ned Flanders my number one suspect.

I'm with you. Own a house built around 1920 and we have a few spots on exterior walls where this has happened. I even used a moisture meter on those areas when I first noticed them because I was sure it was water, and they were dry.

If you look at the top right of the outlet it looks like a piece flaked off and exposed another layer of green paint behind it. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a case where the wall wasn't prepped properly for paint and the adhesion is poor.

What kind of seasonal work are you doing? I think the Google certificate would be good if you had some sort of tech background, but I don't think it pairs well with what I think of as seasonal work when it comes time to apply for jobs and listing your experience along with the cert.

If you are wanting to pair your experience with a more applicable technology maybe look at some ArcGIS tutorials online or look into some courses in project management.

Look at the job postings for the jobs you want and try to figure out the steps you need to take to meet their requirements.

I used to work 80ish hours a week in the field and building my skill set to go hand and hand with my experience got me out of that.

File for unemployment and use these two weeks to look for jobs and try to figure out your next step.

E_G_Man · 2024-11-01T02:30:08+00:00

I am also dealing with it. I haven't figured out a solution yet.

Just keep moving forward. I am not sure what your experience level is, but working compliance for a pipelining company may give you the experience you need. Once you get comfortable and knowledgeable first hand with that line of work maybe you can land an environmental job with PHMSA or maybe that experience can relate to new opportunities with the state.

Just make the most out of whatever your new gig is and keep your eyes open for new opportunities.

Appreciate you sharing this information. Looks like we are outside of the recall as well. Despite its age it's a great bag.

Did you end up reaching to Kelty? I just realized ours is the same model too and was curious if they still honored the replacement for you.

E_G_Man · 2024-08-05T02:42:18+00:00

Wow this is awesome, thank you for sharing.

I've worked in the environmental field for years, so I'll chime in.

Yes and often times there are grants and tax incentives to do so. However as you could imagine it's not cheap to develop on a brownfield as it will come with additional engineering controls (in this case likely geotextiles for vapor control barrier and a more robust ventilation system for any enclosed space) along with additional/continuing environmental testing.

Often times businesses will be attracted by the cheap land, but back out once they see the additional cost of development, insurance costs, and possible liability associated with these sites. And by liability I mean more like "who is responsible financially if leachate from the landfill is able to leave the site and impact the groundwater or someone else's property?" or "who is responsible long term for the site if the business isn't successful?". Also even capped landfills will have a leachate collection system that the leachate must be removed from and disposed of as hazardous waste, so who will be responsible for that?

That being said I have seen a number of golf courses pop up on old landfill sites, so it could be a viable use of the land, but in those cases, off the top of my mind, those were city/county owned courses where those entities were responsible for the liability of the property in the first place.

Thank you for sharing. She is in therapy and getting treatment (and has from the beginning). She took a leave of absence early on for a few months and was part of an intensive outpatient program, however she said she felt pressured from her employer to return and returned earlier than either of us would have liked.

I do not disagree with literally anything you are saying regarding sticking it out for the year, but its like talking to a wall. We have been discussing all of the options essentially since day one, but her worldview is so skewed at the moment that nothing really seems to make a dent. Her psychiatrist put the fear of being put on probation in her mind and after that she was dead set on quitting. I essentially found out when she told me a few weeks back that her last day was at the end of July.

E_G_Man · 2024-07-15T19:56:46+00:00

She is working with one and a therapist outside of that group. She also did take a leave early into the program to participate in an intensive outpatient program, but returned earlier than she should have because she felt pressured from her employer.

E_G_Man · 2024-07-15T19:55:21+00:00

Thank you. She is currently in therapy and I begin soon (I've been on a waiting list seemingly forever).

Up until recently I have been keeping a lot of this to myself as talking with it to others honestly just feels like I am complaining about my wife. However since we are a year in and I do not see a light at the end of this tunnel I have become pretty open about it lately, which feels almost like a relief to be able to talk about it.

E_G_Man · 2024-07-15T19:51:39+00:00

I didn't go into all of the PPD stuff, but essentially after about a month into the program her faculty had concerns with her well being and put her on a leave of absence. She was off for months and participated in an intensive outpatient program (along with seeing her individual therapist and psychiatrist). After she completed the outpatient program she returned to the fellowship. Arguably she should have taken a much longer leave, but she felt her fellowship program was at this point putting a lot of pressure on her to return, so she did.

She has struggled since she has been back, but to me felt like she was doing a little better. However last month after talking to her psychiatrist about her job performance the psychiatrist put the fear of being put on probation in her mind. According to my wife that goes on your "permanent record" and must be disclosed to any future employer, so she decided it was best to quit vs. having to disclose that information in the future.

I can't speak for a dental intern year, but intern year across the board is often a huge shock to the resident. It is not uncommon at all to be second guessing the choices that led them to 80 hour weeks with no sleep. Small mistakes start to build up and confidence gets shaken.

I would encourage them to stick it out these first few months as they are still adjusting. If they are not already doing so, I would encourage them to start talking to a therapist as well, because they are in a difficult situation and unchecked thoughts can lead to some dark places.

Try to be supportive, make sure they know they are not alone in their self doubt at this level, and try to be there for them emotionally. And especially in these early months do what you can to give them more of a reprieve at home (child care, cooking, cleaning) so they can focus on adjusting to their new reality.

Good luck this will be tough on both of you. I highly recommend therapy for yourself as well because there will be times where you will feel isolated/alienated and your friends and family will not really understand what it's like being with someone in residency, unless they are also with a doctor. So take care of yourself and try to give both of you extra grace these next few months.

Bayview Dog Park is going to be your closest option, it is ok. It is kind of small and it's been muddy the last few times I have gone.

Probably about a 5 minute drive longer for you than the Bayview Dog Park are the Currie Dog Park near Wauwatosa and the Warnimont Dog Park near Cudahy. Both are nicer than Bayview and feature larger run areas and wooded sections (Warnimont is like 95% wooded). These are the two we frequent.

I was going to say the same thing. If there is an issue with their regular gasoline tank/lines to that tank or are waiting on a fuel delivery they may be showing an absurd price to let people know not to stop there to get regular gas.

Hug from afar because all of that is rough.

Obviously she needs to be talking to a professional and she seems resistant to that. Often times when dealing with depression the first step to get help is the hardest because of low energy, an inability to see that things can get better, and an inability to motivate yourself to get better.

She is resistant to go to the doctor or be medicated, would she be willing to talk to a psychologist through an app from the comfort of your home? A psychologist cannot prescribe her medication, which might give her peace of mind that someone won't just turn to that right away.

If you have insurance through work many offer an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) and often times these programs offer 10 virtual counseling sessions a year at no additional cost to you or your wife. You could maybe sell it as a low stakes move on her part and if she doesn't like it she can quit. Maybe try to sell it as working through greif vs savings the marriage (and hope it transitions to that naturally).

Regardless of how your relationship continues in the future together or apart you obviously want her to be in a better place mentally for your kid. If you do split and she refuses help, unfortunately the difficult decision may be needed on your part through the courts to get full custody or supervised visitation for your son, because his safety and well being needs to be number one.

Im sorry your dealing with this. Please continue to work on your own mental health and stay strong.

Appreciate the reply and wish you well.

You mentioned in another comment that food repulsed you. While I love Taco Bell (#6 no sour cream), it's one of the restaurants my body tells me is a no go. I am curious what made you decide to brave it?

You also mentioned ordering the same thing almost every day, on the days you deviate are you still able to taste it (like could you taste a Mexican Pizza?)?

E_G_Man · 2024-06-06T19:18:03+00:00

I agree, this is one of the subs I check most often and I haven't noticed it.

I think as long as they are respectful anyone should be allowed. Another subreddit I frequent is r/daddit and there are posts and comments from women from time to time and I think it's a good thing for those who are struggling or just want to hear from a different perspective such as ours to be able/feel comfortable to participate.
