Fellow OJ's and all followers help me

Let me lay this out... I have a 9 year old Chow Lab mix, my children are 21 and 18 and obviously, they were not wee babes then we got this dog. However in recent history he has bitten a child that provoked him and on this last Sunday attempted to attack my Grandson who is 13 months old, because said grandchild fell in to close proximity to him. Even though the grandchild holds precedence I can’t help but feel guilty about the dogs destruction as he lies here under my feet. There is no child free world, here or in World of Warcraft, please my fellow OJ’s tell me it’s ok or give me a different route to take and I’ve found no completely child free homes.

to hear abou this. I too, can only offer my hopes, prayers and support. I know how hard this can be, so I really hope you are able to make whatever desicion you choose. The only thing I can suggest is, if it comes down to it, find a no kill shelter (Like Heaven't Gate or similar) Again, I truly do hope you can decide what is best. Stay strong. *hugs*

The only thing you cna do is to look for more places to give the dog to.

I would check out all of the no kill shelters in your area. When we take on animals we take on certain responsibilities but you are right, the grandchild takes precedence. Is there any way to cage the dog when said grandchild visits (or any child for that matter).
