Helen, I actually think a 2 handed broadsword procured on the Barrow Downs might be a welcome deterrent, but than I’d have to deal with men in uniform wouldn’t I? (Whether that uniform was a nice white coat or badge and firearm wouldn’t matter much! It would delay.) Such a picture! A hobbit with a broadsword trailing behind it, dragging on the ground.
As far as dogs go…mine is a rather longhaired hand-me-down mixed breed that is molting at the moment. This is not to say she is chicken, though she may very well be, but that she is soon to be shaved. Somehow I don’t think I should take her out after she is shaved and thus damage her dignity, as she closely resembles a Dr. Suess animal after the process! I should try first to see her reaction, she might enjoy the breeze, though she might draw attention rather than discourage it.
