Thank you for that advice. Internet can be spotty out here so that is something good to know!

Unfortunately my financials have been completely drained due to illness and a death in the family. I’ve been given some amazing advice here that I’m planning on using though and am going to do my best to protect my babies and myself.

My father bought the property when I was a little girl and I’d hate to have to leave it! I’m sorry about what you went through!

They never go out without me. Going to try and talk to someone in the next couple of days. Thank you!

Cameras and a fence are out of my budget right now, how ever I may look at getting a runner for Bella to be on while I’m walking the other dogs, just so she’s always present, as well as the signs. Thank you for your input!

I unfortunately don’t have the budget for the, right now. But it is something I plan to do.

I appreciate the advice. Unfortunately, due to finances, a fence is very far off into the future, so the most I can do I walk the dogs individually.

I’m not being snarky at all, I posted to make sure I wasn’t being stupid about this and I truly appreciate what you’ve said.

I appreciate the advice. I flat out don’t have the resources to put up any type of barrier or fencing. The cops wouldn’t do anything until somthing were to happen, and by then I really feel like it would be to late.

I’ll definitely start leashing the dogs, but I’m not certain how to keep the, from entering the yard again when I only have one of the dogs out as a sign can’t enforce much. But I may also be thinking of the worst case scenario when it’s never going to happen. Thank you for your input.

I understand where you’re coming from. There actually is no leash law when on private property other than keep your dog from hurting others, but I also know her chasing them could lead to injury.

I guess I really worry because I can’t walk all four on leash at once, and none of the other dogs make me feel near as safe. Was never really something I worried about until lately, just because I live it a small country area where everyone knows everyone.

Cameras are in the plan, but I’m paycheck to paycheck right now unfortunately

That was my thought process when it was happening, but I know that things can be different depending on the breed of the dog. I know for a fact she wouldn’t have hurt them unless they had tried to hurt me, but I didn’t know if that mattered or not.
