My dog attacked me tonight

Remind me to show you my awesome battle scar on my arm from my dog next time you see me.

I just want to apologize to Dimbee, because my post had some bad insinuations yet what I meant to type was through good intentions. I also typed my response thinking back to all the people I have knew that gave up their life long pal becasue they were having a baby, or getting married or it showed aggression or whatever the case may be so a lot of what I said was from frustration in the past.

I know not all scenario's are the same and so my advice was more in general and should not have implied any false wrong doing by Dimbee. False implications and assumptions through experience made up a lot of my posts and should not have included Dimbee.

You would be surprised how quick people are willing to put down their dog after having it from when it was a puppy becasue of the smallest thing. It's like all of a sudden they don't want an adult dog, they just wanted a puppy. Obviously this is not the case for you as you have had your dog forever but when I read you weren't sure about him now, and you have always been it made me think back to all these experiences I have had in the past with people who are just looking for an excuse, and they surely do piss me off. And unfortunately you can put down a dog of any age, without question, just by walking into most any vet with 30-50 bucks.

Now I am not one of those people that thinks no dog should be put down. There are some who do, it's too late for them, but the fault is not their own.

I also wanted to add that no dog should be trusted with a baby. Dogs are much too instinctual and all contact should be supervised until the child is grown, no matter how the dog behaves.

No sweat, my friend. I appreciate you clarifying- no harm intended; no harm done. :)
