My Wifes kittle dog killed by rural speeders For tghe second Time!

I'm trying to figure out how some one killed your dog two times??? lol

I'm with the crowd, keep your dog in your yard!

I'm also with the crowd that says, I'm sorry you lost your dog....we get waaay too attached to our dogs...

Lots of emotions for a real simple thing. Dog on a 55 mph road= dead dog. Grow up and build a fence.

Or get cats, but they become buzzard food on an expressway too.

Call me a misogynist (which I'm not) or whatever, but women respect men who tell them NO.
It would benefit both you and your next dog, not to mention your marriage, to do what you KNOW is necessary.

Losing a pet is one of the most awful things anyone could ever experience. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Ok Thomas, what is that? One of those NE things? Never heard of such a thing on West Coast...

I say time for visit to board of selectmen

I had to let that one go because I immediately thought of idiots who thought they had a right to tell the rest of the idiots what to think.

Watching Judge Judy about 5 years ago, a young lady brought a young man to court because he hit her dog with a car while the lady was walking it. It happen to be off a leash and on the road a few feet and the guy swerved to hit it. He got off because dogs aren't supposed to play in the road, although what do animals know. Dogs need to be trained and there are drivers who wouldn't bat an eye at drilling a dog.

I have the feeling this thread has turned a little ugly.

As I understand it, this person has had 2 pets run over and killed because they were loose on the road. True, there are some personal responsibility issues here but that doesn't lessen the loss felt over a beloved pet.

I would encourage her to not own another pet until she is willing to provide proper safety but this doesn't mean I can't feel some degree of compassion. Condemning her is not exactly taking the high road. She is already hurting and there isn't much benefit to be gained by making her feel even worse.

Jix, I hope you can just hold your wife and tell her you are sorry she lost her dog. Right or wrong, husbands and wives should be able to turn to each other for understanding, support and forgiveness. She needs to know that you will be her refuge.

Off topic (which is probably a good thing): What is your avatar, KiotiKowboy?
I've seen it before and just can't put my finger on it.

It's a little abstract - but - It is the Crucified Christ.

I got carried away, ain't the first time. I apologize.

I'm still in the personal responsibility camp. It is a harsh camp, many just can't bring themselves to live there.

It looks like a famous art piece and/or maybe an album cover thing I once saw.

We're not really in principle disagreement. I, too, can take a pretty harsh line at times. Regardless of what has happened, they need to take care of each other.

I know I took the thread off track but it seemed an important point to express.

Ain't fair though, you have our savior on your side.....

I do too, I sometimes forget how I became to be blessed enough to raise cain on internet boards. I thank the asker and your answer for the reminder.

That and I'm an under educated Bull Run boy from Ashland City. Just can't help from showing how sophisticated we are to our buds that don't even know what these internets are capable of.

I'm certain He would prefer a better team-mate than me

Our dog got shot by a hunter while barking at him outside our property. Made me mad. Fenced 8 acres. Problem solved.

Sorry for your loss. As crude as this sounds, this is true..... Your wife is killing her own dogs, she has no one to blame but herself. If I were you, I would defy her wish and make sure her dog is safe. If it means a collar, so be it. Otherwise don't get another dog. Personally I prefer oversight and voice control.

Good to see your still making dusty.

Guess you might say its NE thing men/women voted in for town/city to over see old and new policies etc.

"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."

Tell wifey no dog number 3 until a fence is built or at least use the under ground fence.

I don't trust the under ground fence though. We had a dog that I nicknamed Lady because she was a Lady. Lady kept getting out of the electric fence and the wife could not figure out why. The battery kept going bad even though they were new. Eventually, Lady was seen running around the fence, close enough to have the collar tell Lady she was close to the fence, but not close enough to get shocked. Lady knew if she did this long enough the collar would stopped "talking" to her and then it was safe to cross the fence.....

Later,

I agree Tom.

What concerns me about our society is the automatic tendency of a segment to blame everyone else, taking little or no personal responsibility. There have been several comments in this thread that support that mentality.

I've lived next to a rural hiway since 1979. Have always had dogs. Have never had one hit on the hiway. My dogs are never leashed or fenced. I introduce them to the hiway and then let them educate themselves. And, most importantly, I harshly scold my dogs in regards to their interaction with vehicles. They don't sleep under vehicles or in the driveway, that is met with strict punishment. When a vehicle starts up or enters the property my dogs immediately assess their own situation and take appropriate action to avoid a disaster. My eldest dog is almost 100% deaf. You'd hafta chase her out into the yard to run over her.

That's why I said earlier it's the dog's fault. Either the dog chose to ignore the hazards of vehicles or died early on in it's self education by an error. I believe every dog, if left to it's own education, will survive around vehicles and hiways.. But dogs, like humans, sometimes make mistakes.

Again, sorry for the loss of the pet.
