This happens more than people realize, I don't understand a thief and or their mentality, nor do I have much patience for same.

A few years back, while I was still working at our farm, my father had finally taken up residence there after the house was squared away. So finally someone is at the place full time, after years of not being so. Someone gave him a nice border collie pup, and they've become good friends, but he likes to run and to be frank is a pain in the butt, I like dogs, but I hate dealing with ones that run or are a real problem. Well he had been running the neighborhood, not too far but off the farm and I'll be..... right in front of me while repairing a paddock fence, he's along the side of the road and someone stopped and tried to snatch him I called and yelled, he did respond, I spoke to my father about it, had I gone after and caught the piece of crap that was going to do this...... like I said I do not have the patience, and hence my staying put, I know better. Still to this day, I cannot believe people do this right in front of you, had I not been there he'd have been gone. I don't particularly like any dogs around the barns while I am working with horses, they very create dangerous situations, so I always chased him to the house with an attitude, I am surprised he came back to me that day. They insist with all the horse people types that come to the place, and allow their dogs, its one of the reasons I left, one spooked one of our best and favorite horses, while I was taking a halter off, and he jammed my elbow into the flange of a stall gate, damaged the ulnar nerve and dropped me to my knees, yippy little herding dog from the down under, these do not belong in a barn, as they are trying to herd or something. My solution is very harsh and I would not hesitate, that persons dog would have been put down on the spot, I have no tolerance for this, probably best I left. I am thankful this horse is smart and soon realizes things after an initial scare, had it been another, it could have hurt so much worse or been fatal, people do not understand thoroughbreds, again reason I mention it, even as harsh as I was to this dog they tried to lure away, me always chasing him back to the house, he still knew something was up with these people, and there were 2, border collies are smart though you look at him wrong, he will pee on the floor, since a pup was just kind of a wimp, but thats fine, don't like em mean, and of course no matter how much I did chase him out, he still gets treated like a king, just not in the barns LOL !! Also on his behalf, we had the same horse I mentioned above colic real bad one cold winter afternoon and that border collie knew something was wrong way ahead of us, intently barking at the stall, was one of the worst and longest days I can recall there, a fast trip to Cortland, and a few thousand later, horse made it fine, no surgery thankfully, that dog knew what was up, and he was going down, I had all I could do to save this guy, cracked that whip and got him loaded, all 1400-1500 lbs of him LOL !
