I don't know how the law is in Mo. In Nevada a dog harassing livestock or chewing on your pets could be rightfully shot but of course no one really wants to do that. I think the pepper spray idea is a good one!!!!! One good shot of bear spray and that German shepherd won't be back.
the thing is,by the time i get close enough,the shepherd will kill little pete and i will never forgive myself.
the woman ,whose husband owns the mutt was over here to nite to borrow my battery charger and some starting fluid,i talked to her about the shepherd,she said she would not blame me if i have to put him down,i told her,if her husband would only listen to me,i would not have to do it.
he's an old drunk an can get pretty cocky,i told her the mutt was over here last nite taking a dump by my porch steps and i yelled at him and run him off,i could have kill him,i was only 5 ft. from him,,i really got to be mad or upset to kill him,,,it may happen sooner or later.
maybe when i go to town and do my monthly shopping i'll look for the pepper spray or some thing like it.

i think i'll shut up about this,
i have already hung out to much of my laundry already.
