You should look into wasp spray. That has to be legal and I promise it will be an effective deterrent. They shoot 30 ft even with a breeze and if you hit your dog it wont kill it, just painful in the face.
As long as you are having fun thats all that matters! We are not all gonna be rock stars but that doesn't matter. We can all contribute to the music!!!! @cosgig
Just had thumb surgery done so now I can hold the pick. Looking forward to getting back into it. Kinda of a Stevie Ray Vaugh/ Erick Clapton vibe. Life begins at 65!
