mini rant/my dog died

[MountainMike]

Me, too Bro. I hate people who do that.
I beat up one guy in front of my dad one day. I was home on leave from Special Ops and my dad and my Irish Setter went to get the mail out front and I heard my dog barking and yelping. I was in the pool and jumped up and ran out front. Some punk that used to drive by my mom and dad's house a lot real fast as crap swerved over at my dad and my dog on purpose and his front bumper hit my dog and bumped her. It did not hurt her but she was mad and frightened as I saw. The punk was yelling at my dad that if he sees them in the street again he will kill them both. The punk did not see me until I pulled him out of the widow of his Charger and I smashed him on top of his 'Glass hood and crushed it in with his body weight. I put my index finger against his throat and told him if I see you drive by the house one more time racing up and down the street I will kill him. I told him that if something happens to my family or the dog or the house I will hunt him down and kill him. My dad has never seen my hurt anybody before or loose my temper as I did. He was freaked by what I did but he told all the neighbours that this guy will never speed up and down the streets anymore. Two weeks later somebody killed the punk at a race he went to (illegal). And you know what? So what??

You are one badass M/F, plain and simple. I hate people like that, my dog is part of my family to me.

My condolences go out to you for the loss of Shelby, way to young.

thanks. i agree on the way too young obviously. she had just come out of being a puppy. she was finally starting to become less out of control and start to chill out and had become a really cool dog. relaxed in the house and a blast in the woods. hopefully i can train the next one to be half of what she was. she was truly an amazing dog.

i had friends crying over her. all my family. everyone that knew that dog was crushed bc everyone loved her. sorry i am bad with names but i remember someone else had a german short hair on here female about the same age. but the connection you get from this breed is amazing too. if anyone thinks they can handle this hyper breed i highly recommend them. they are known for the love to please their owner and also the companionship of any dog is great.

a lot better than i can say about most women i have come across lol. its sad but true. the dog never talked back lol the dog never showed her teeth to me. never growled at me. had never hurt a single person. she was awesome

oh and as "cliche" as it is i appreciate all your guys support a lot. it is def making this a lot easier on me. i went to work today and lost it once at work. but to come home and get support from people i have never met in person..... cant find the words to describe it. but it really does help.

oh and if anyone is ever interested in the breed and has questions i will be glad to answer. we had a family dog as that breed and then shelby. i talked my buddy into the breed and he is more than happy about it and i help him train his dog. and i actually stopped my shelbys sisters house today just to say hey to them which was pretty difficult considering her sister looks exact like her in the face and their bark is the same. i thought i heard my dog in there house. lol anyway getting side tracked.

if you are interested in a breed that loves the outdoors and does very well in the house even around very young children pm me or chat on here. i love to answer questions about the breed and wish i could make the breed a little more popular bc they deserve it

That's what we are here for man. We are a community, even though most of us have never met in person. We have a common bond, and many of us spend so mcuh time on here that we get to know each other pretty well and care about what happens to other members, even though we have never met in person.

I mean I spend more time talking to boggin and fordman that I do my own family, and I've never even been in the same state as either of them.

damn, that sucks man. i've had a dog for the last 7 years and i would be pretty upset if something like that happened to him. i hope she went fast and didnt have to suffer

yeah its def nice. i helps get through the day thats for sure. i woke up to what i thought was her whining to go outside like she would every morning to go outside esp when i would sleep in lol. this is def going to be hard to get used to. but i just hopped on here right away and i instantly felt better. thanks everyone

When I was a kid I had a stray named Rover, and he was probably the best dog I ever had and some one shot him with a shot gun and he made it home and died in front of me, I will never forget that, and If I had found out who had done, they would have been eating lead! There is no excuse to harm an animal like that. Sorry bro.

no joke same thing happened to our black lab that i would take with me every time i went hunting or fishing which seemed like everyday but we found the guy and holy shit i came unglued on him and told him he will be buyin me a new dog and no shit the next week he brought a yellow lab to my house saying he did it on accident and this is how he would repay us

well def give that man credit bc thats hard to do i think. at least he stepped up and set things right. people around here probably wouldnt do that and would find a way to blame it on you.

i dont expect the guy who hit my dog to give me a new one. esp since she was pretty much not replaceable. but he didnt even know what was going on. man i dont even think i would be able to get another dog in a couple weeks. this one meant too much to me. its going to be a good while before i can get another one and be able to be fair to it. bc after having shelby and her knowing so much i am going to expect too much out of the next dog and probably wouldnt treat it fair. so its going to be a good long while

Amen to that guys! Motor oil is thicker than water, right?

Sorry for the loss of your dog brah. I know how it felt when my family lost our cats over the years to old age. One died right in my mom's arms.

yea i mean it was nice that he did it and now the same guy that shot my old dog is one of my good buddies dont get me wrong we never took the dog he gave us as a replacement we took it because we loved having a loyal companion around

 

[r1hatman]

Right on stray! You hurt an animal that can't defend it's self, you get no mercy!

yeah i hear that.



so on a bright note for the day i called my breeder bc he always asked us to keep updates on the dogs. even tho this was a negative update. but we talked for a good 20 mins on my way to work and he had a lot of good things to say. oddly enough i found out her mother and grandfather were both hit by cars too. kind of weird. but we talked about my next dog and his next liter is probably going to be in 2 years which will probably be good timing for me. hopefully done with school and have a "real" job and i would be in the market for buying a house with some land. but even better the liter would be from the same father as shelby. so he said there is a good chance i would have just as good quality dog if not better than her which i cant ever imagine better.

so that def helped to hear that from him and he said he is cutting me a discount (lol) bc he knows that pain and how much it hurts him knowing that happened. so i guess things are on the up and up already and its only been 3 days. and again thanks everyone for support every little bit helps.
