Thanks all...wife has read this too, and we much appreciate the kind words from all.

I've lost many pets before, but none I took the chance to get this close to.

I'm hunting for those dogs, as are half the neighborhood.

It had been suggested by a relative that I not kill those dogs...my thoughs are that IF I let them survive next time I see them they could seriously injure or kill a small child the next day...I would never forgive myself. Nope, I see them where I can end their miserable lives they will dissapear as of that moment.

This incident also seems to have "rallied" the neighborhood to move along the process of getting all these Meth maggots and trash out out of our neighborhood...hope the trend continues.
