JScott 20 Posted April 25, 2006 Note: I've had a dog in my family or been a dog owner my hole life. As shovelheadt is a Geek I have met, I can say he's a straight up guy. I see no problem in what he did to the dog in getting his daughter out of harms way. And I'm glad to hear she only had minor scratches. I do have an issue though with his FIL's actions. Not the part about hip-checking shovel and g-daughter out of the way, but to go into the garage after the fact and take the rake to the dog. It's obviously an unfortunate situation. On one hand, yes, they've been nice enough to take these strays in, but on the other hand not being able to train them or at least alter this one dogs' territorial behavior was just asking for trouble. The dog was doing what came natural to it, defending it's territory (the golf cart) and I'm just guessing but I assume the FIL did nothing prior to this incident to show the dog this was wrong. Now it attacks shovel's daughter for coming into it's space, something it did to the other dogs without reprocussion, and this time it's beaten to within an inch of it's life. As a dog owner/trainer this is what I find absolutely disgusting. Think about it this way... for a year you relieve yourself in the bathroom, not in the toilet, but just in the bathroom and your parents are fine with cleaning the mess and don't let you know this bad behavior, then one day after taking a leak your parents yank you out of the bathroom by your arm and absolutely fvck you up, kicking, punching & throwing you around until your unconcious. Makes scense huh Dogs have natural instincts. If you want them to behave the way you want, you need to train them. Otherwise don't have one, as the risks are too great. :climbsoffsoapbox: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulinstl 296 Posted April 25, 2006 I can't say I disagree with you(although I see a little pussification in the statement "take the dog to the vet"-you kill the focking thing on the spot). I agree that it should probably not have been beaten to death, but at the same time, I think it is rather easy for you to sit back and call this man the things you did just because he flew off at the handle when a loved one was in perceived danger. Does this make his actions right? No. Does it give you and Paul the right to call him a "wife beater" or "future serial killer". No. I called him a Hillbilly in greasy blue jeans, not a wife beater or future serial killer. Get it straight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty Syringes 478 Posted April 25, 2006 Cdub the Yooper and his friend, Toivo, were sitting at the Side Track in Baraga enjoying a few bottles of Old Milwaukee. As usually happens with bottled beer, the label came off the bottle. Now this label being rather attractive, caught Cdub the Yooper's attention. Not sure what to do with this highly desirable bit of memorabilia, Cdub the Yooper decided to stick it to his forehead. Several beers later, or was it several hours later, Cdub the Yooper and Toivo decide it's time to start for home. Now, these two boys live in Pelkie, so, of course, they must drive home. As luck would have it, not two far down the road, the cops pull Cdub the Yooper and Toivo over. The officer asks, "Have you boys been drinking"? Cdub the Yooper wondering why the officer would ask such a thing ponders the officer question for several moments, and shaking his head and pointing to his forehead he stutters, "No Siree, Officer. We're on da patch." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,496 Posted April 26, 2006 A conversation that hubby and I had today: ME: So, we're up at your mom's. They have a few stray dogs that they've taken in, blah blah. One of these dogs is sitting in a chair. Let's say it's his favorite chair, it's outside. He growls at the other dogs that approach him, gets territorial, all of that. HUBBY: Okay. ME: So, we are leaving and *R* (our four year old son) says that he wants to say goodbye to all the dogs. You say okay, and off he goes. You're getting stuff ready to leave, you hear our boy crying. You go investigate, and you see him in the fetal position on the ground, some scratches on his arms from the dog's claws, and the dog is clearly upset at the boy. What do you do? HUBBY: Kill it. ME: You'd kill the dog? HUBBY: I'd kill that fukking dog right there in front of him (the boy). ME: In front of him? Why? Do you know what that would do to him? HUBBY: Yes, he needs to learn how to treat animals that don't behave. ME: HUBBY: [reiterates] I would have to kill that fukker. ME: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ME: At least your husband is not a pussified Nancy like some people here. Shovel you did nothing wrong period. I can honestly say that I would have done the same thing your FIL did but I would have made sure to grab a bat. I think too many people have the luxury of over analyzing (sp) this situation from the comfy chair that sits in front of their computer with plenty of time to think it over. It was a gut reaction and I would have done the same thing as your FIL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portis26 0 Posted April 26, 2006 I can understand hitting the dog to get it off your daughter -- but to go after it afterwards is COWARDLY to me. of course you can hurt an animal; as humans we are supposed to be the smarter species, but this story might go against that theory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then step-dad gets so jacked up for violence that he body checks shovel out of the way and goes after the dog with a rake. He wanted to get in on the action.
