Regarding my previous ranting post; after a nice message from Kingsley Brown and further consideration of the incident, I'm really not so mad at the other guy so much as at the situation itself. What I'm really mad about is that an animal I love like one of my own children was needlessly hurt doing what he lives for.
There are a couple of lessons to be learned from this besides the obvious one. Like keep your dog under control. A labrador running out of control is not only a menace to society, but is likely to get his big ole fat self shot. By accident or sometimes on purpose. Also, there is a good reason to observe "legal shooting hours". If it's too dark to tell a dog from a duck it's too early to shoot. I didn't shoot the early woodie this morning, but I've been guilty of it before.
As for Suwannee, he says he's getting a little sore around the face this afternoon, but the antibiotic should prevent infection and nothing interferes with his appetite...Geo
