Today, the drivers on my highway hit and killed my dear wifes little Shitzu, Baxter. She is very very sad. This is the second time in about three years. The posted speed limit is 55 Mph. The shift workers at the pressure treating plant a mile up the road tear down this highway at 100 mph at 5:30 PM. No police enforcement is why. Tempted to cut the highway with a backhoe, but that would get somebody killed and myself imprisoned.
I feel so frustrated and angry becoz there aint nothing I can do. Wife refuses to allow me to put the dog fence collar on her dog, says it is cruel...

Geez guys, it is too late now. but I will not get her another dog with these riff raff driving so fast out past my driveway on a rural highway and not much police presence hereabouts. I am so sad for my wife's sake.:pullinghair:

Sorry for your loss.... and don't mean to be cruel. But explain to your wife that animals get killed every day on our roads, and that the person hitting it could have been injured trying some last minute maneuver to try not to hit it. She should be proactive, keep the dog chained up, electric perimeter fence, kennel area, carry it around, etc, her choice of protection... If she really loves her pets, then she has to work at keeping them safe. Sorry again....

Why can you not control the dog ?

It really does not care if there are rules and restrictions. All dogs are able to live within rules and restrictions. You don't go running out on the highway do you?

Training a dog is much less difficult than grieving their loss.

Sorry for your loss.
I say time for visit to board of selectmen or call to state police.

Thanks for your very kind message. I hear you, but my wife does not listen.... until it is too late. That is a trait in her that makes me even more angry about the dog's death.. and it was the second time it has happened:mur:

Maybe, if I told my wife not to go on the highway... She might ignore me??

I'm with Cal. My two dogs DO NOT go out on the hiway.

And as Jerry said, was the driver supposed to wreck to avoid the dog??

Sorry for your loss. Please do not be one of those citizens that calls the police to complain about something like this. It's the dog's fault.

Again, sorry for your loss.

There were two threads with the same title, so I merged them into one.

On the subject, sorry for your wife's loss.

Dog was off your property on a highway. Even going 55 its sometimes hard to see an animal the size of a small dog. I've hit several large raccoons, possums, etc... that were larger than small dogs. Didn't see them until it was too late. Couldn't swerve into oncoming lanes and too late to brake. I imagine if someone swerved to avoid a loose dog and did damage to their car they might be able to come back at the dog owner for damages. Train the dog. Get a fence, etc... especially since this is the 2nd time its happened. While its not completely preventable, you can significantly reduce the chances of it happening. Again, sorry for your dog. :(

No, It is not the dog's fault.. It is my wife's fault, She would not train the dog or restrain the dog and even tough I put in anundergroiunhd dog fence, she would not allow the collar to be put on the dog... Now she feels responsible...and she IS to blame...because she IS NOT RESPONSIBLE.
I have a big dog A golden doodle who has been collar trained. He has learned the safety zone TWO Acres and stays within it always, but I put the collar on him anyways.. My wife thought it unnecessary..but now she sees that is. Hard lesson for a hard headed woman.:eek:
