Signs for your door

[Anna_525]

I am looking for signs to warn visitors not to leave the door open, and came across this--

I love the site, you can even make your own sign......I wonder what I would put on a Cairn Terrier sign?

[bradl]

"Are you going to eat that?"

[Anna_525]

"WARNING: My bark is REALLY worse than my bite"

[savannahsmom35]

"Don't bother me. I am in the process of ignoring you."

[Eliz222]

"Welcome to our home. Are you here to visit my humans?"

[Darsey]

"Caution: Pant legs may get wet upon arrival."

[Scully'sMom]

These are TOO funny!!!! I'm thinking of getting two for the outside of our new gate.

Having one for the front door would be perfect to help my mom remember NOT to just open the door, that Scully can get out. It can be a "gentle" reminder.

"Will work for food"

Warning: Cairn can't hold her licker

Just one downer of a note re signs. Make sure that you do not put up a sign that could be interpreted to mean that your dog is a potential threat. It may be held against you and your Cairn.

If your Cairn decides to grab someone's pant leg, or a child claims to have been bitten/scratched by your dog after sticking their hands through your fence, or whatever, any sign which indicates your dog could cause harm may be interpreted as an indication you knew you have a dangerous animal. Net result is you are therefore more likely to lose any law suit.

I'd avoid signs that say you have a guard dog. Or the sign on the web site that indicates your dog can beat anyone to the fence quicker than they can move, etc. All of these types can be interpreted the wrong way.

My husband said "Maybe I will, Maybe I won't"

My gates have a lttle placard that says simply, "Please close gate. Dogs at play."

A friend's gate has a sign that says, "Here lies the body of the last S.O.B. who left this gate open."

[Scully'sMom]

Good thoughts on that subject, Stacey.

brad, when I saw this thread last night I planned on doing exactly what you have on your gates. Gets the point across but it's not threatening.

[Anna_525]

If only we can put all those funny signs without us getting in trouble!

Seriously....a friend just lost her Westie last week because her painter left the door open (he forgot). Their house is close to a highway...it was a hit and run. I just need something like Please Keep Door Closed at All Times which of course I can simply print out myself but I figured a fancy sign looks better than a paper print out....

I've had one of those signs on our gate for years. It's a sillouette of a cairn that says "I can make it to the gate in 3 seconds...can you?" My parents, (who have a cairn) have a doormat that says, "Beware...dog can't hold its licker."

I guess I had never thought of the gate sign as a threat...more of a joke!

I have one of these yellow signs up at our lake place...it's not for the dogs, but says -

'Mad squirrel - protect your nuts'

It gets all sorts of giggles!

pat.

Too funny Pat!
