Subject: RE: BS: Dog owners guilty in mauling death
Hmmmmm - thread grew while I was away -

Kat is correct about how I dispose of animals that are a threat. Very carefully and with consideration for my neighbors and any other property that could be impacted. I've followed animals home after catching them being destructive and requested law enforcement assistance in their removal. I must also state that I always, unless the animals are in the midst of an attack, inform the owners of the dog's actions and the possible consequences for those actions. I believe in giving folks, and dogs, a chance.

Baxter Black was/is a veterinarian. He and my oldest friend are good friends so I know him in a third party way. He is bi-lingual, teaching his kids to be the same, a good parent, his word is good, and a good friend to those that are his friend. Out here your word is your life and that says it all for me about that. Now his sense of humor is one that has frustrated me for a long time. Kind of like the Cowboy Poetry movement. Bunch of nonsense for the most part. Cowboys are romantics - not poets. Big difference I think. But it puts several guys to work making the books and writing the stuff. Plus Elko has the big gathering each year that puts a few bucks in the locals pockets.

Well enough of that nonsense. Back to work - -
