Not only that, but he leaves is collies in the yard... jus to give you a little more grief, when dismounting to open the gate
Something to contend with, holding onto your nag, with a couple of collies nipping their heels, while trying to move the forth bridge
Nightmare!!! We have a public footpath running up our drive and almost right by the house - which is a bit of a pain, as I like my dogs to run around free most of the day when I am in. The good thing is that the drive is pretty long and the dogs bark if they see anyone coming from a mile away, so I can get them indoors before anyone arrives.
However much of a pain it is though, I would never deliberately leave my dogs out to annoy people or put a lock on the gate etc to stop people getting through.
