I have no idea what is going on at the pill's farm next to me.  His pack of dogs haven't been in my yard or in the road. Maybe he is keeping them in due to the heat.

I have haven't had a herd of cows or his bull in my yard in a long time.  Not sure if he got rid of the or just moved them to another field on the farm.

Only 1 incident of rapid gunfire in a several weeks.

He hasn't cleaned up around his yard but I'll take the rest as a win.  Now, will it last?  Who knows, but it has been really nice.

Yipes, and I thought I had it bad when construction is going on in one of our buildings condos!!  Yapping dogs, cows, bulls, gunfire?

@kaydee50  It is not that the dogs bark much but he let them run all over.  At any one time he has 5 to 10 dogs. They stand or lay in the road or come in my yard and go after the stray cats we feed. Luckily the cats are mostly on our side porch and it has a gate. Dogs aren't mean just a pain in the neck.

Fences are fixed and the cows and the bull will mosey into the yard.

He likes to do target practice at night, usually around 11:00pm.

Count yor blessings, @CrazyKittyLvr2 . He's a real thorn in your side, for sure. BTW, how's that little manx kitten you're feeding?

Yes, I can understand being suspicious, even when the changes are for the better. I would do as you are - hope that something fundamental is going on and the changes are permanent.

@catter70  She is good.  Getting big and still skittish. We took some cat toys out for her, good grief, she loves them.

You can hear her rolling the little balls that make noise from one side of the porch to the other. She also has a pad that crinkles when she pounces on it. She was going to town on that the other night.

@kaydee50 We experience some of this, too...the joys of country living! Someone in our area spends many weekend afternoons shooting his guns--and someone has a cannon that they fire occasionally. We can't tell exactly where it's coming from, because sound carries so far through woods. No laws against it, so not much we can do. Add to that the noise of chain saws, tractors and zero-turn lawn mowers (to which we also contribute), and it's not always peaceful around here. But we still love it!

We haven't had any cattle in our yard, but some neighbors have one or two, as well as horses. Someone has a rooster that crows for awhile every morning. Someone across the pond we front on has a number of large dogs that bark pretty constantly. Thankfully, most people here keep their animals confined. We have had a visit from a baby goat, as well as a pot-bellied pig! We knew who they belonged to, though, and called them to pick up their animals, which they quickly did.

I'm surprised you get internet service so far out @CrazyKittyLvr2 .  Sounds like you're so very rural!

@gertrudecloset   We are not in the middle of nowhere but our "town" (everyone says town) is really a village. It has a PO, 2 churches, a gas station/small covenience store combo.  3 businesses from decades ago are long gone and the buidlings sit empty.

There are 2 larger (1 or 2 stop lights) towns, 1 north of us is 14 miles fro my house, 1 south 12 miles away. They have drug stores, grocery stores, a few independent shops.  If you really want to shop it is 30 to 35 miles (one way) to any major store. We are too far for any grocery/pizza/CVS delivery service.

We don't get cell service at home.  When I moved here 53 yrs. ago you couldn't swing a big stick and not hit a farm. A lot fewer now.

It is just inconvient to be so far out especially in the winter.

It sounded rural because you spoke of animals roaming about.  The only place I thought this was feasible is in rural areas @CrazyKittyLvr2 .
