Area homeowners are lining up milk jugs filled with brightly-colored water along the edges of their lawns and gardens. The jugs stand like lit tle sentinels against interloping dogs and their doggie doo. Rita Bowman of Heppner says that the colored jugs do work. She says that since they put the jugs on the edge of their lawn, they’ve had much less of a problem. She says that even their son, Ron, noticed when he mowed the lawn for them. “ They say that dogs are color blind,” says Rita, “ but it seems to work. We look like a bunch of Oakies, though." Rita said that she got the idea from Cheryl and Bob Ployhar who live on Court St. Cheryl says, “ Oh, yes, it works. Every once in a while there’s some dog stuff in our yard, but very seldom anymore." Cheryl said that they got the idea after a trip to the coast where they had the colored jugs ‘ ’everywhere’' to keep the dogs away. H eppner v eterin arian , Jim Norene, also has jugs around his yard. “ I’d like to think so (that it works), but they're not working h e re .” N orene said that “ theoretically’’ dogs are color blind. “ They don’t have the right rods and cones (in the eye), but I don’t think it’s been proven.” -\ Bitv S hoe bronzing sale ! 25% OFF Turf-Power Riding Mower B ro n ze d baby sh o es a re now m ore p o p u la r th a n ever!
