Re: [Alpacasite] Fw: protection/gate weakness

I can tell you how I fortified my gates. LOWES has 12" X 12" cement
Stepping stones. I placed these in three rows beneath my gates.
Some I dug up a bit of ground so that the stones are not sitting on top
And cannot be moved, others I placed some new dirt around the
stones. If my Dobers can't get through them then NOTHING can.

Some folks are like Slinkies,
Not good for much,
But ya just can't help but smile
When you see one tumble down the
stairs.
