Yeah, whenever the weather starts to turn during the fall, my boy Jerry loves to crawl under the shed. @75 lbs, he can be a handfull, especially when you're on your stomach trying to drag him from under the shed to his heated house. One day, I had the brilliant idea of sticking cinderblocks in his path, blocking his entry to the shed's underside. Sure enough, he simply pushed them out of his way and settled in his usual spot. I crawled under to drag him out, and on my way out, smacked my elbow against one of the cinderblocks. Then, to make matters worse, he decided to start moving, and once he came close, jutted forward and knocked my glasses clear off my face. If I could see at the time, I would have punched him, I was so mad. But I was more concerned about the glasses at the time. I've since tied the cinderblocks together with mortar and another line of blocks. That stopped him!

T.G.
