It ain’t the dog.

It’s the owner.

The bitch was on a run outside because bitches in heat are messy.

My only complaint was that he shot the animal outside his property. Although dog will breed through a chainlink fence if that’s their only opportunity.

If you can’t control your animal, and it keeps invading your neighbor’s property and causing damage, it’s going to die. In my state, if it had been chasing sheep, or killing chickens, not only would the cops not have done anything, the livestock owner would be able to sue for damages.

An AKC bitch that is accidentally streetbred loses value, and prize winning stud owners won’t allow their animals to breed on a bitch that can’t be certified as disease free.

Wow, I haven’t read Deb in a couple of years… downhill doesn’t even begin to describe the direction she’s gone.

A friend of mine had his four year old daughter’s face chewed by a neighbor’s bulldog. The multiple plastic surgeries on his daughter’s face cost my friend $33,000 over what his insurance covered. The dog’s owner never apologized, offered to help with expenses and a court said under Virginia law, a dog gets one free bite. IOW, even though the dog had bitten other people before, it got off because there was no formal complaint on record.
The dog owners kept the dog close to home after that, but one day it got out, came into my friend’s yard and my friend saw it and shot it dead with his pistol. Owners called police, filed a civil lawsuit. When the judge heard the whole story in criminal court, he fined my friend $30 and costs for discharging a firearm within 600 feet of a dwelling, and with that, the civil suit went nowhere. My friend said it was the best $30 he ever spent.
If his locale had leash laws, which we do here, then Shotgun Mueller was OK in my book. I love dogs, but in control of their owner, not running wild.

I hope they do pass it.

And then the courts shut it down.

But not before rampaging mobs burn down their offices.

Sorry, once he dropped the prosecution of voter intimidators in his own party AFTER it was done, he was nothing but a criminal. Everything else is just piling on.

Yesterday, the last day of winter here in NorKali was 73 degrees high, 46 degrees low.  Today, the first day of Spring is a repeat.  What Spring really means in *desert Kali* is the end of all rain until sometime in October. Liking rain, I hate that////will just have to endure barely clothed wimmin; I reckon..........

Should have just turned the little nipper in to animal control.

In another town.

In another state.

I freakin’ hate yap dogs. A LOT. I do not even begin to understand how someone enjoys the company of a jittery, scrabbly little thing that goes yap yap yap all the damned time.

But I ain’t gonna shoot someone’s dog unless I really have to, i.e. threat of serious damage.

I dunno, RAK. Obviously the reporter missed that tid bit. Probably to protect the ADP when they sell it off.

RAK in AZ. Still doesn’t sound right but I hope that you are enjoying the desert

Isn’t that video from the House of Representatives showing Democrats trying to keep up with all the legislative meanderings of Pelosi and her health care bill?

I didn’t know you could bait for chihuahuas.  Guess you wouldn’t need the camo then.

YAT, I wonder if he used a Saiga/AK clone with a 20 round mag or just an old 1100?
During my night school course on Southwest studies we learned that the Chihuahua was raised by the Chihuahua Indians as a food source. These little rats can live off of beetles, snakes and scorpions and taste far better in a stew than the above list of potential desert menu items.
That revelation really made me appreciate the Taco Bell commercials & the little dog mascot:-)

Now the sheep will be joining the rabbits at the animal shelter three months after Easter.

My brother once rescued a calf from a feed lot where they feed the mama cows and get ready to milk them. He brought it home and he built a little corral in our tiny suburban back yard. He was cute and would play with our dog. But he started to get really big and would make mooing sounds. My parents became concerned and ordered him out. Not sure what ever became of him.

Howzabout “Nematode” ... “a slender, parasitic, wormlike animal ...”

In true Alaska journalistic fashion, the author describes the tactical situation and the weapon used to dispatch the dog.

What an astute observation!  After I read that, it made me laugh to realize that Idaho journalism is somewhat the same.

Holder has nimnoed almost every thing he has done at the DOJ.  Surely someone close to Capital Hill has a cluebat.  Needs to use it on Holder; stat!

That’s right I forgot about that with the chickens-- we all feel better with more sun lite. 
Nothing better than fresh eggs from happy hens.

What the hell is: “a fourth misdemenor” charge?

That could apply to teen age daughters to.

That’s my point, enough calls are a crime. Depends on the statute.

The relevant section of the US Code is 47/22:

“...makes repeated telephone calls or repeatedly initiates communication with a telecommunications device, during which conversation or communication ensues, solely to harass any person at the called number or who receives the communication...”

Even a congress member has the right to say, “Sir, you have made your point, I have heard your petition. I have other constituents and other responsibilities. I will consider further calls from you to be harassing and will report them as such.”

This sort of conduct trivialises and demeans US and gives our enemies sticks to hit us with.

“I called, my Congressman told me to f#ck off and hung up on me”, caller is the good guy.

“I called over and over, eventually my Congressman told me to f#ck off and I kept calling the poor overworked 19 year old intern until she had to call the cops to get me off her a$$” , caller is the bad guy.
