John, I recently had to make a tough decision about this very point. Several years ago someone dumped a female mutt on my road and she was smart enough to come to my house and make eyes at my daughter. We let her stay; unknowingly we also allowed her nine unborn pups to stay. We ended up with her and three of her pups. I built a fence out back, enclosing about a quarter-acre. That wasn�t enough space for mama and one of her boys---she�d dig out and he�d climb or jump out. They had a love for freedom and they ran together every day. I finally gave up patching and plugging and just left the gate open. (I�d had a previous futile experience trying to keep a determined dog penned up.) The other two boys never leave my 12 acres, so they're no problem. I worried a lot about the two vagabonds and what they might be into---not necessarily what might happen to them. They weren�t really �pets� or �pals�, so I figured if they met up with disaster they�d at least go out happy, doing their thing. A couple of weeks ago a strange truck slowly drove down the road in front of my house. Guy got out and asked if I owned a black and white dog. I said well, he eats and sleeps here. Guy said my dog dug into his kennel and got to his prized Lab female. He was very calm and nice, but he wanted to know how to resolve this situation. I kinda startled him when I said, �The next time he comes into your yard, kill him.� He said he couldn�t do that. I said, �well, call the dog-catcher, then.� Apparently that�s what he did, because the dog went missing a couple of days later. I didn�t do this lightly, or without any regret. But in addition to the potential liability, I wasn�t willing to build an eight-foot fence with cement footings, and I damn sure wasn�t going to put this dog on a chain or in a kennel. I would rather a free-spirited dog be dead than confined. (I know, a lot of people will think I'm no better than Michael Vick.) Jerry�.also in La.
