How hard and expensive would it be to fence IN a couple dogs?


Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I had a few young white spruce get hit this winter by what appear to be rabbits, but I can't guarantee it.

Why stop there? Deer can reach at least 6 feet.
