He will encroach into your "safe" zone before long -- in fact, he no doubt already has when you're not there. I think a bear horn or shrieking personal alarm might do the trick of encouraging him to keep his distance and help keep those wee little old shelties safe from harm.<BR/><BR/>DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-42116565444719210892008-10-24T20:51:00.000-07:002008-10-24T20:51:00.000-07:00There no doubt a message in his finding peace...There no doubt a message in his finding peace there but i would start to make it uncomfortible for him. The more trust he has in you the more trust he will take in getting closer.. if he sees you as no threat he will perceive other humans this way too. His territory is getting bigger the closer he gets to you all. Either he will get killed or kill ..Janice Gilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997741046742192330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-3994567685810712762008-10-24T18:47:00.000-07:002008-10-24T18:47:00.000-07:00I love our native wildlife too, and appreciate the...I love our native wildlife too, and appreciate their beauty and worry about our encroachment on their world, but am very glad you're being cautious for the sake of your domestic 4-leggeds, especially the little old Shelties.<BR/><BR/>I've met Brazen's "cousins" at Campbell Valley Park, walking alone on the horsetrails, and they stare at me hard and long before they amble <BR/>v-e-r-y slowly off the trail. And I know there's usually a few more very nearby, that's how they work. <BR/><BR/>We don't want to read that any of your critters joined the food chain!<BR/><BR/>SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
