Kicking a mans dog in the south might get you

Interesting enough, if you kick a cat in Egypt or any other Muslim country, you most likely will get the death penalty due to cats being sacred in those countries. In fact, they are the only animals allowed in mosques and the patrons even put food and water out for them. Dogs on the other hand are HATED in Muslim countries.

Which is funny because there are more dogs dumped in the south than on all the Indian rez' in the whole country.
That’s because there are more ignorant rednecks here than on the reservations. As I type this, two wonderful lab mixes are asleep at my feet that were dumped, we think, in our neighborhood. Fatten them up some, get the heart worm that they no doubt have treated, spayed ( we think they may be mother and daughter), and get them adopted to good homes. Great with kids and other dogs. Twain or Will Rogers said, “ I like all dogs more than I do most people. “ I’ll second that!
 
In the last month, I've started working with three different rescue agencies. We're vaccinating/deworming etc... and trying to get them healthy enough to get to good homes.

Wednesday I had six different dogs in that are in the rescue process.

I euthanize a lot of ferals that cause problems here on the ranch, but anything that is salvageable is worth the effort to get to a good home. Salvageable = not trying to chase cows and kill calves.

And people that are mean to animals get what's coming to them.

Maybe in your parts, but here the majority of dumped and abandoned dogs are from people who move here from out of state to live on a small piece of property (1/4-1/2 acre lots) and get a dog “for the kids”. Then they find out that the kids are in school all day, they both are at work all day.

They don’t have time to train the dog properly nor do they know how. The dog gets left at home and chews on things and craps or pees in the house due to poor/no training. They don’t take time to provide exercise for the dog, so they just let it out when they get home. Neighbors complain about the dog running around.

Eventually they realize this isn’t working so they dump the dog. Every dog we have “owned” and loved has been someone else’s cast off. They also have been good breeds that often cost the original owners thousands $$$. The red necks here are much more likely to have and love their animals.

Well, except the meth heads.

Go to Tractor Supply and bnuy Ivermectin. A years supply for both dogs is around $30 where as Heart guard is about $15 per month each. Give each on .05 ml (thats not much) per month orally.

Five hundredths of a milliliter?
Yep, been doing this for years, my old vet (passed away a few years ago) got me on this path. Sheep drench is the general name for it and it can be purchased over the counter at most any Farm and Fleet type store. Your vet probably won't be pleased, but fuck them I save money where I can as long as it does not affect the dogs wellbeing.

100% bingo.

My feral dog problems triple starting about 1 September... when all of the DFW area people start coming in and checking their hunting leases. This place turns into a Dallas suburb from September - December.

That doesn't mean that the local meth heads don't let stuff go hungry and roam about looking for food/trouble. They are their own separate problem.

Maybe it is different here, I don’t know. I’m sure what you describe happens here as well. Animal control does the best they can, their shelter stays full, though. God bless them, I couldn’t do what they do. We’re affiliated with a good rescue that pays for neutering , heart worm treatment, etc., etc. They are always looking for folks to foster animals and prepare them for adoption. That’s what we’re doing with the two we have.

To your last statement, can’t take credit for it, but it hangs on our wall. “People will know how large your soul by how you treat a dog. “

I use this syringe the vet gave me. Its graduated in .1 ml and she showed me to use 1/2 of .1 which is .05 or half way to the .1 on the scale on the syringe. This is for the stuff in the bottom photo. I just squirt it right into her mouth but you could put it on a treat.

Back when I wasn't married to a vet, I got the .5mL suggestion from my vet. So it would appear that perhaps opinions on how to use a medication - off label - will vary. My wife won't touch suggesting that because the dosage on the bottle is for an injection, and some are trying to give it orally... so (in layman's terms) you'll end up with a different rate of absorption. Plus it is off label, and that can bite you in the ass when something unintended happens.

Iverhart has the exact same ingredients as Heartgard, but is about half the price. If your vet won't carry it, or tries to charge you through the nose for it, you can just call in to a place like Chewy and order it through them.

I remember feral dogs being freaking EVERYWHERE in Iraq. They were viscious and destructive as hell.

That was the ONLY place I've ever seen a dog eating on a dead dog.

Of course, I had the boys do their best to try to adopt a local dog every time too. I didn't run across the really nasty ones... either they would keep their distance, or they were smart enough to come over and beg (kind of like the Iraqis).

That wouldn’t happen if he had a Rottweiler instead of a beagle
Yeah, but the Beagle has an amazing sense of smell. That's how those geniuses were able to find that Achmed had a side of beef, 3 bags of UN stamped rice and a 5lb bucket of Tony Chacheres.

If it had been a Rottweiler, it would have been drooling all over the floor and trying to hump it's handler's legs.

I'm doing exactly what my vet told me to do so I'm good with that. She's a very sharp woman and I feel confident she wouldnt mis lead me.
 
Aw fuck naw... Mofo should have been Daniel Penny'd right there after the kick. A proper full choke kills or at least renders permanently braindead at max 20 seconds and since the POS had initiated the violence, it should have been relatively easy to sustain a bit of chaos and confusion to break the perp's neck.

The reason why the world is so fucked up currently is because too many people who should have been killed for actions they had committed are still living and free, courtesy of weak governments putting invader scum ahead of their own citizens and folks who could have done the needful being too hesitant to attract the spite from leftist prosecutors.

We get a lot of abandoned dogs out my way. My neighbor has acquired 2 and I have one (still can't believe someone dumped a beautiful Catahoula). There is a special place in hell for assholes that dump dogs! I would love to catch someone doing that!
Good thing about that south is that there are a lot of bayous and things tend to sink in them. If they are edible gators handle it.

On a nicer side of things, I was the BN S3 in Afghanistan when this happened. I remember the guys were trying to get some money together to get Eslinger his dog. He had that little pup (at that time) riding around in his rucksack while on patrols, it meant a lot to him.

It's not just in the country. We have 1 house in a subdivision in the Harris/Ft Bend Co area. We have "rescued" untold number of dogs in the subdivision.

The worst was an old Cocker that we found wandering. He was old, deaf and almost blind. Dumb ass didn't remember it had a chip. When I called him he was "well we are moving and didn't want to take him with us so I just opened the gate and let him go. He is old and probably won't last much longer".
Animal control had a talk with him but didn't give the old guy back. We already had 2 that we picked up off the street and never found owners. Wish we could have kept him but the 3 didn't get along.

Even had a lab puppy late one afternoon someone tossed out. I was on the patio and heard brakes and a dog screech. I ran around to the main drag and someone hit the puppy in the road. My wife came around to keep anyone else from hitting him and I got the truck and some stiff cardboard and towels to get him on. Ran him to the emergency vet but he didn't make it. Asshole dumped him and an bigger asshole hit him in the road.

There are dozen more stories, all in a residential neighborhood. It seemed it was every month we were finding new dumps.

Assholes are everywhere.

Exactly. I don’t live in the country either, I play in the country. Rather a subdivision with somewhat larger lots interspersed in it.

We currently only have one and a close neighbor has two ‘found’ dogs. We have never had to go look for a dog. They find us.
 
Go to Tractor Supply and bnuy Ivermectin. A years supply for both dogs is around $30 where as Heart guard is about $15 per month each. Give each on .05 ml (thats not much) per month orally.

Mix 1:9, 1 cc IVM to 9cc water. 1:1000 plain Ivermectin injectible not the Ivemectin gold. 1cc per 22# per month oral delivery.

I think you’re confusing a Rottweiler with a Great Dane
