I have three medium size dogs I walk five days a week.

On the side of a house we walk by it has a wood fence that runs along a busy street. The man who owns the house has two large dogs. When we walk by they are barking and slamming up against the fence. See it occur to other dog walkers. About two years ago one of the wood slats became loose and dislodged from the fence. One day I came by and the slat had been replaced. But the old slat had been left in three pieces, next to the fence, laying with the nail side up. Only had one dog at the time, reigned him in and walked by. Two days later the pieces were still there. I picked them up, took them home and burned them up in my wood burning stove.

Last year still walking one dog another slat came loose, it was replaced and left on the ground again. Nails up. This one was not in three pieces, but one piece. I picked it up and chuck it next to the house.

Just last week four slats were replaced, I had only noticed two that were broken previously walking by. Once again they are left on the ground with nails up. Some were in several pieces other were in larger pieces. I'm walking three dogs, so I take them home. I drive back in my truck and pick up all the pieces of the slats and throw them on top of the slat I had put on the side of the house over a year ago.

Tempted to go back in my truck, take the wood and burn it this winter.
