I've been lucky, but that is also why Grasshopper is a "house cat". I was thinking about Jackie's Miss Daisy, and if you aren't familiar with the story, it's posted under Dog Health. Her two mini schnauzers were attacked in their own yard by an irresponsible neighbor's pit bull, which broke through the fence to get at them! I have very strong feelings about people who take on animals without taking on all aspects of their care and, when potentially dangerous, control. But I joined many many others posting about all that in that thread. The owners of the pitbulls were nowhere near as gracious as the owners of the yellow lab discussed above. They apparently can't afford to, but then how can they afford to keep 3 pitbulls?
