Our dog is getting put down!

Comment Published at 15:5815:586 comments6 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

This might be a bit sensitive to some people on here so i apolagise. well one of our two dogs "midnight" has just got to go. yesterday she was chaseing our sheep again!, and they are pregnant too. she chased them all over the wall of the dam, so i freaked out cause i didn't know if she had hurt any or not. it certainly looked like she did. anyway she never comes when you call her either. so i was yelling and yelling for her, but she wouldn't stop. i had to run down and grab her and drag her back up to the house. the other day she chased our neighbours new born calf into the dam eek!, she just chases everything. she got hit by one of my day care kids parents car the other day. everytime i tie her up she chews through the rope. so i put her on a chain yesterday, and she may have strangled her by now, as the last time she was on it i took her of cause she kept raping herself round and round stupid dog!. i am just so over the dog. i do not have time to keep chaseing it, and worrying about were its going, and if its going to kill our livestcok or the neighbours live stock ARGH!!. i want the dog shot now! i am so over it. ok anyway thats my problem at the moment. hub won't be back for a week still, so i'm going to have to keep her chained up till he gets back. its sounds so cruel, and i feel so very bad. its just something that has to be done though. i can't have her killing our stock or the neighbours stock and there is no point haveing a dog that has to be chained up all the time. plus no one else wants a dog like that either, so i can't giver her away.

On another note i've had a great week. had a friend come round yesterday morning for coffie. then spent the rest of the day getting anoyed about the dog lol. i have enroled in doing cert III in childrens services, but i'm not sure when the paperwork will arive. i really wanna get going on it now and get it out of the way. i really can't make up my mind about what i wanna do in the future. i feel like perhaps i would still like to have a couple more children, but then again, i'm really not sure. i really enjoy doing family daycare, but maybie becomeing a teacher would be better for later down the track. or..i could become an acountant which i started some years ago. i started with cert III in financial services, so then i could go on to do cert 4 and work up to get my diploma ect. i just really don't know. i can feel myself getting bored, so i need to get a firm goal in my mind, so i can stay focused. its funny though isn't it. its hard for teenegers to make up ther mind what they wan tot do with there lives and here we are much older and still so many of us can't make up our mids exactly which career path we wanna take. i think it ends up being whatever works at the time, whatever fits in with what your doing at the time i think. originally hubb and i decided once we had moved here, that we would have a couple more kids in about 2 years time, but now i just don't know. i could deffinatley cope with more children, and i think we could afford it, but i'm just wondering if its really something we want. everything is going so well right now, and getting so much easier that maybie i wouldn't wanna make things harder for ourselves. life seems to be so easy now days.

Re: Our dog is getting put down!

Hi Samantha. So sorry to hear about your dog, I can understand just how you feel as we couldn't have one of our dogs doing that here either. Do you think someone that lives in town might take her - you know, away from livestock & someone that can spend lots of time with her?

Good luck with the Cert III - and I hope you work out what you want to do, whether it be more study or more kids!

Teshia xxoo

Hiya!

Pity about the dog but I can understand where your coming from. Hurting the livestock is so not on!

I think the problem with Tafe etc is the endless choice! So many, its hard to decide especially if you have more than one interest. Well I do anyway lol. i'm sure whatever you decide you'll be great at it!!!

Re: Our dog is getting put down!

yep i am the same, i have heaps of interests. whatever my choice i know i will give it 100% but its just figuring out what. i have always been very active and very interested in personal training and nutition, aswell as naturopathy and herbs.  i am also very good with books and money. obvioulsy i am good with kids, as i have 6 of my own, and i look after other peoples children also. i  wouldn't like to look after other peoples children forever though. so i really dunno what to go for. maybie i'll just stick with the family day care thing for a while, as i really enjoy it and the money is good, and maybie just make up my mind later down the track. i will be still doing my cer III in children services though.

Re: Our dog is getting put down!

Hi Samantha, Sorry that you are having dramas with the dog. Had a Jack Russel like that. I couldn't take him to mum and dads farm unless he was chained up as he would chase anything that moved. He picked up one of the chooks once and ran all the way down the paddock and boy he could move. The sheep weren't safe either! We would tie him up outside in the day and bring him in at night. He was fine in my little yard in the city but then he was a little dog. He used to escape there too and one day he never returned, someone may have taken him in or who knows?

I have to do my Cert 3 now too. Apparently it is going to become compulsary so I have to get on with that. I am starting to have the same feelings as you, What should I do? Where can I go? Thought it was a mid life crisis. My kids are starting to do the same wandering, looking in the TAFE books and deciding what they want to do and I am joining them thinking, hey, what if I did that? Getting so bored and so need a change. I guess there is so many possibilities but hope that your studies all go well!

Re: Our dog is getting put down!

yes i know all about jack russles hehe. they are the funniest little things. they think they are a big dog in a little dogs body. your jack russle probably got itself killed. my parents had several of them while we were growing up, and they all got themselves bitten by snakes and killed chaseing kangaroos lol.

yeh i think everyone finds it hard to figure out what it is they wanna do exactly at soems atge in there lives. so are you a family day carer also?

Re: Our dog is getting put down!

I'm an in-home carer. It has been a long time since having little kids around so this was a better option for me then trying to baby proof house etc. Plus I was living in a very little space before this with up and down stairs in not such a nice area either, so I like this option much better. So true about the Jack Russels. He was my brothers dog but we sort of adopted him. Cheeky little thing with a big attitude that thought he could take on any Rottweiler or big labrador, you name it! LOL It wouldn't surprise me if he died but we never found out. That was at least 5 years ago!
