His hands must be absolutely massive sized as well. There is almost no way
he'd be able to fit his hands around my 120# dog's neck in order to lock
his opposable thumbs around it. Not to mention, for his locking thumbs to
do anything to the trachea, he'd have to be face to face with the dog. In
an agitated state, his thumbs would hold no power over that dog. Just more
of his delusional, grandiose narcissistic thinking.

I never used to be, but over the past few years I have gotten to know a
few and they were all really sweet, affectionate dogs.

Pretty! I love an alert looking dog like that.

It's been years now, but I still miss my bright faced wire fox terrier.

That doesn't sound very practical. A classmate of mine once had his dog
attacked by one of these beasts. They tried beating it with sticks and
rocks and rakes in an effort to get him to let go of the hapless doggie.
After a long while, my classmate got a 22 rifle and shot the dog in the
head. That worked. When the cops got there he was arrested for using the
rifle. I don't recall what the basis of that was.

My theory is that your best bet is to grab the dog's real leg and pull
it sideways - a most unnatural movement for that leg. My guess is that
you'd probably cripple the dog with this move. Anyway, that might be
pretty effective. I've never heard of anyone using this move on a dog
though. Good luck!

Yeah, I know they're okay

Long story is... Many years ago I rented a cottage on private
property, the owners lived in the main house. Anyway, they had two
Boxers. The female was older than Methuselah and covered in lumps or
cysts. It looked like it was about to die at any time.

Every freakin day for two years I would come home and the thing would
just stand there barking at me. It was utterly mindless and devoid of
any personality. One day I got in my Fairlane (a large car), put it in
reverse and backed over the thing (it was obviously sleeping under the
rear of the car). I got out to look and the dog was jammed under the
rear axle. I drive forward... and the damned thing got up and walked
away, totally unharmed. I thought that *finally* the thing would be
gone forever, but no... and so it continued to bark at me every time
it saw me until I moved.

Well it certainly was to the one we minded for six months to help the
owner out! A breed I quite liked until then and several people said
'goes with the breed' lol

Fox terriers are great, as are Jack Russels. Our family had some over
the years, I have considered finding one for myself at times.

Now there's a breed that better be gainfully employed or it's trouble!

If you can get the front legs splayed open (approaching them from
behind), that pretty much finishes them. Or if the situation gets
desperate, shove your fist down their throat, that way only your hand
gets mauled.

>I've never heard of anyone using this move on a dog

No, because it's utterly idiotic and a human is going to lose that
argument nearly every time with a savage dog.

Yes, quite true. They're great at keeping the possums away around
here.

Yes, that too. I love them but would never give a home to one again.

Cats have many plusses - litter boxes would be one when they want to
go at 5:30 am!

I loved my small mutt dog Sampson. I did NOT enjoy having to walk it at
all hours of the night in sometimes nasty weather. No problems like
that with a cat.

My grandmother had one. Not a mean bone in his body - she used to say

Same here. He was always happy to see someone. Anyone. Burglars included
no doubt.

I used to take our small dog out at 10 PM every night. If the weather
was nice, we'd take a good hour walk. I miss it sometimes, but these
day I can't walk 10 minutes without giving my knees a break.

Oh, sorry about your knees.

I felt like I was always walking the dog. Walk in the morning before
work. Bless him for holding it in (he couldn't always when I lived in
apartments and no egress/doggy door) during the day while I was gone.
I'd take him for a long walk when I got home and again before bed time.
Then often again at 3 AM. I'd walk him in all kinds of weather...
rain, wind, even snow... hey, I don't work for the Post Office. He
was a sweet dog but I really didn't like having to get up in the middle
of the night and take him out.

Thanks for crossing your fingers Lucretia. Because it seems to have

Apparently in reasonable shape too, she will be back here in about an
hour

You deliberately drove over it to try to kill it because it annoyed you??

We can have dogs in these condos but if I was thinking of it, looking
after a friends labradoodle for a week cured me. Yes I am usually up
by 6 a.m. but I don't usually dress until about 8 but if you have to
take a dog out, you need to dress right away!

I do usually walk a couple of miles per day, weather permitting, but
not first and last thing of the day.

My once very high energy Malinois goes for a nice long walk every
morning with my wife. It was a labour of lover for her to take it along
on her morning walk because he used to be so bad on the leash and she
was afraid to let him run loose in the woods. He pulled her off her feet
many times, skinned her knees, sprained her foot, broke a finger. AS he
got older and I stepped up the training, he got better on the leash and
was able to run loose. Now he is old and lazy. When she comes
downstairs to get him for their morning walk he hides under the dining
room table. While she used to be afraid of him taking off into the woods
and not coming back she now keeps him on the leash more because when he
knows I am home he comes back to the house as soon as she lets him go.
She now takes her cell phone with her so she can call me to let me know
he is on his way home.

Fantastic news! I missed the story but I gathered your
dog was missing, which is a bit better than my first
thought which was that she'd died.

Happy ending. Congratulations.

Maybe he's playing with Winnie and not online.

He told the story, he ran over the dog when it was under
his car, he clearly didn't see it. Then he rolled the
car off the dog as it was jammed under the car.

As much as the dog was annoying, he didn't run it over
on purpose.

I had a neighbor with a barking dog, a black lab. The woman
called her previous dog, a collie, across the street and it got
hit by a car. That's the level of stupidity, but I digress.
She felt like she had to get another dog, they got the lab and
chained it up outside and no one ever played with it, just yelled
at it. Of course the thing was a nervous wreck and barked at
every little thing. Every day if we stepped outside, BARK BARK!
on and on.

It's friggin annoying. I get JeBus' irritation.

But I don't see anything in his story that says he deliberately
ran over that dog.

I don't think he meant "deliberately" just that he backed over the dog that
was under the car when he was backing up, at least that's what I got out of
it. It happened with my mom and my dads' beloved dog Kiwi. It was awful.
