FishnJunkie - thanks for the appolgy. I do understand where you were coming from.

I am a good pop and a good dog dog owner. Unfortuneately, a mistake was made that can't be undone, but that does not suddenly turn me into a rotton parent or reckless dog owner. (or the dog into a vicious killer) What determines that is how I respond to this situation.

Sunday night I'm giving my dog to a fellow board member who does not have kids and does have rottie experience. He clearly knows what he's getting into, and wants to give the dog a chance at another 5 years of a happy life.

My son looks a lot better and still loves our yellow lab a lot. We plan to keep the lab, and will ensure that he is not put in the position to make the same mistake.

I can't believe I'm stuck at work this weekend!! Hope you guys are having a blast out there as I write this (or are resting sore arms on the couch).

-Chad
