53. Dogs are good, if they are so inclined to take care of their own.

Mar 2012

I once had a hit out on me over a case I had been involved in. It was serious enough for the Sheriff to sit me down and demand I carry 24/7 until we got it all resolved. I had to sleep in an interior room of the house, wearing shoes, a gun, and kept a vest nearby. It was pure misery. The only good thing I had in my favor was my German Shepherd, Hondo, who knew something was wrong and never let me out of his sight. For a few weeks it wasn't so much "if" they were coming but "when". Eventually the whole thing got straightened out. You sure find out who your friends are at times like that.

Do yourself a favor and just put the knife away. Have you ever seen the mess someone can make with one of those things? A Tazer or some spray foam would be a better choice if you need something. I prefer foam myself. Be careful though because it'll set the dogs' noses on fire. There are lots of safe and sane options for someone not wanting to deal with having a firearm on hand.
