Training and restraining is the key! We have two "potlickers" and went through great lengths in training them NOT to chase bikes or carts on the road and beach... If left unsupervised dogs chasing intruders in their "Territory" comes only naturally! Dogs shouldn't be allowed to 'own' and patrol the road or beach path! It takes responsible owners to set boundaries for their dogs.

About the puppy thing. I have to consider Pepe's feelings. I have to allow him to maintain his alpha dog status. After my experiences with Grita and Miss Kitty I know to be more careful about this. I do go by SAGA and look.
Harriette, there are two new puppies available for adoption at SAGA. Scroll down on this page and take a look at Sowie and Snowy. Perhaps one would be perfect to add to your household? Saga Dogs Available for Adoption Cheers, Emily

you need to publish that, Em. It currently is a draft and not visible to the outside world.

I'm so sorry!  I had actually published the update to the page but pasted the wrong link in here. Please try the link above again, and I apologize for any confusion. Emily

I'm not trying to revisit the firestorm that surrounded the last dog eradication(ok, maybe a little)but I can tell you I have seen a vastly greater number of stray dogs in the last 2 weeks or so.EVERYWHERE. After the last eradication dogs were scarce for a while. I'm not sure what the numbers for the "roundup" were but apparently it was much less effective. For those of you that were so vehemently and violently opposed to the eradication(mostly people that don't live here)I have a solution. You should be required to adopt, care for, feed and control 3 dogs. Until then I believe it may be time to revisit a humane way to eliminate these animals... I'm pretty sure I know who you are. If I'm right, you should really give it a rest. The whole reason the poison eradication was implemented was because of the perceived effect on tourism, you know, the economic benefit to locals from visitors? This time, leave my wife out of it!

Emily - Thanks so much. I didn't know about this web site. Sowie and Snowie are the age and size I am looking for. I'll go take a look tomorrow.

Saga is also on Facebook and posts dogs and cats available for adoption there. (Let's see if I can get this link right!) Saga Humane Society Facebook Page I really hope one of them will work out for you! Emily

[sarcasm]Let's get to the important matters at hand…[/sarcasm] Em… When are you gonna post another blog entry?! Heheh...sorry about that.  Between me having a bad cold and zero energy for over a week, and Barry having a pinched nerve for three weeks now, we haven't done a whole heckuva a lot in awhile, so I am having writer's block! I hope to have something up soon. Thanks for reading.

Emily - I called SAGA first thing this morning and Sowie was adopted two weeks ago and Snowy yesterday. Sowie is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I believe it can happen.
