A while back, my dog chased down and chewed up a chipmunk.
A couple of days ago, a squirrel lured the dog into a high speed chase into the deep woods. They must have been waiting for her; she came back with a broken paw.
I have no experience with this kind of thing. Will this continue to escalate? Should I fear for the safety of my dog and/or my family? Should I keep a gun by the door?
You can almost smell the fear inside my house.
Poor dog has a cast for 6 weeks. The tip of it is a metal bar... when she walks it sounds like Captain Ahab is in the house. The had to sedate her to put it on, so she's still a little woozy; she's just pacing around whining.
Before anyone asks... yes, the wife shaved the dog, and yes, this was her first attempt ever at doing so.
