Buddy and Midnight were just two old country dogs that roamed the neighborhood and did just about everything together. Buddy was my beagle that I adopted when he happened to walk into my yard one summer night. I called the number on his collar 2 or 3 times and left messages. The dog had come from a town 40 or 50 miles away. It became obvious that someone had dumped him out. Midnight was my neighbors dog who was a black lab.

way I figure it, we have to keep our dogs on a leash or in a fence. So should they. Plus, you have a lot of money invested in the chickens. Any owner who would let their dog get mange doesn't really care about him, so I think you might have put him out of his misery!
ILY, see you tomorrow!

than coyotes or other wild animals. The family dog is a pet during the day and can be a killer at night, and the quite often the owner does not know it. Down here in South Texas, it is fair game to shoot a dog that you catch in the act of killing your live stock. I know that this seems harsh, but folks need to control their animals and respect the rights of others. As much as it hurts, you did the right thing in shooting the dog. Please have a great day!

Have had to take out a couple dogs that were roaming the deer lease and caught them in the act of running a deer. Another thing is that most people don't know that a house cat is one of the biggest killers of baby quail. Kieth-Tx
 
...the first time I EVER got my sights on the biscuit chaser, I can tell you that.
Then I'd get rid of the evidence and not say a word. It's the law of the land.

you were absolutely correct. I would expect someone to shoot any dog of mine that did that. If they pay so little attention to their animals they don't deserve to have them!

I hate to see animals killed but sometimes it's necessary. When I was about 12 years old I had large dog I named Shag that was as gentle as he could be. He never bothered anything, or so we thought. One night a man, Mr. Paul Sisk who raised sheep about a quarter mile from our house, came over. He told my father and I that there was a pack of three dogs killing his young sheep at night and he was pretty sure my dog was one of them. Mr. Sisk said he had shot one of the dogs a couple of days earlier, a big white german shepard, but he had lost two lambs the night before and was going to kill the other two dogs if he could. Given the gentle nature of Shag, and the fact that he never seemed to be gone, neither of us believe he was involved but Daddy told him that if he was to shoot him. When I went outside early in the morning two days later Shag was laying in the yard, he wasn't dead but had been shot in the butt with buckshot so I have no doubt Mr. Sisk was right that he was involved. Shag died a few hours later, it hurt but I know it was necessary.

now what ya need to do is teach them chickens how to shoot <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> Too bad the owner wasn't as concerned as you are!

have an electric fence installed in our den!! Yep, you heard me, inside our home. Our wiemer had very bad anxiety attacks, and has trashed our house. I couldn't shoot her, nor could Scott, and she is a big part of our family. Still, after scratching our dining table, tearing down the wood blinds, etc. something had to be done.
So now, the last person to leave the house has to put on Trudie's "shock collar". Seems a bit harsh, but she lives in our big den, with a great view of the outside. She has never crossed it, and it is not visible to anyone. She knows it's there, and she stays in her alloted space. Big acts of destroying something made us take a bigger one and installing the inside electric fence. Now if I could just keep her big butt off my leather sofas, I would be satisfied. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
spread a newspaper over them while you are out. They don't like the noise when they get on them and if that doesn't deter them, set a few mousetraps under the papers. It will rarely nail the dog but it will usually scare the crap out of them. The snap and the jumping newspaper usually works.
There is always a ball bat but you seem a bit of a sissy for that <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
newspapers didn't work, she just scooted them off the sofa. But now that we have the electric fencing, it works pretty good. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> Sissy? yeah, you are one to talk. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
