oh and heres what makes things worse
1 last summer when her husband moved out and her dog started to jump the fence I stoped in and told her i was worred about her dogs jumpping the fence and i had almost it the night before on the way to a EMS run with my fire dept and if she would buy a kennel i would put it togather for her she said no and i said ok well the offer is always open and if she ever needed anything to stopping and eather myself or dad would help out just like any good neighbor would do (im a firm belever in the old sayying good fences make good neighbors)

one last thing wednesday I almost hit the husky 2 miles down the road from the house i guess I shouldnt have slamed on the brakes

try telling a 11y/o why everthing she worked on for the past 3 years is dead

Just so you know. In the state of Ohio it is legal to kill a dog that attacks domestic animals BESIDES a dog or cat can legally be killed. A rabbit would qualify. Also if the dog is attacking a person can be shot.

It's never easy putting a domest animal down whether in anger or knowing you haveto in order to prevent it from suffering. Sorry you had to go through that and sorry for your sister. I had a beautiful pet rabbit once and went out one night to feed it only to find its remains all over the cage. A fox had gotten in under the cage a snagged it. WE thought the location was good but were wrong. I feel for that poor animal to this day. It's been 35+ years ago and I can still vision the scene. Sorry for your losses on both parts.
