Ok Now that I got that out of the way I just wanted to say I feel for you! Living out here in the sticks of Franktown with two large dogs I know the feeling as my dogs love to chase small animals. The part that pisses me off is every time they they chase the damn porcupines and end up with a face full of quills. Then it's a $300+ trip to the doc because they wont let me get close enough to pull them without getting pricked myself!!!
