I just saw your post. I am sorry for your wife. It is very hard to lose your pet. Dogs are Gods gift to us.

Tell wifey no dog number 3 until a fence is built or at least use the under ground fence.

I don't trust the under ground fence though. We had a dog that I nicknamed Lady because she was a Lady. Lady kept getting out of the electric fence and the wife could not figure out why. The battery kept going bad even though they were new. Eventually, Lady was seen running around the fence, close enough to have the collar tell Lady she was close to the fence, but not close enough to get shocked. Lady knew if she did this long enough the collar would stopped "talking" to her and then it was safe to cross the fence.....

That is one smart dog. I don't think i would have figured that out.
I used the underground fence to great success. Lost a dog to the street (stolen) the one time the pug ventured near there. Put the fencing around a 1 acre perimeter. The fencing is not cruel as the "zap" is no more than one gets when touching an electric horse fence. It is more "startling" than hurtful. The cruelty of having to suffer the anguish of losing a beloved pet for everyone concerned, is much worse in my mind than the couple of zaps a dog gets before it wises up to an invisible fence.
I agree with the posters who think having a dog near a street or hwy without or refusing to adequately protect the dog with something to thwart it's movement toward certain death, relegates one to non-dog ownership as it is too cruel to the dog.

Most dogs are extremely smart. Sometimes humans breed them for a specific look and kill half their brain cells in the process. But most are easily smart enough to learn the trick dmccarty described.

A few years ago my neighbor wanted to install an underground fence. I took an old anhydrous ammonia knife and mounted it to a 3pt drawbar. The knife has a small tube that runs down the backside to feed the gas into the ground. The knife is forward pointed so it wants to dig in. I mounted the spool of wire on the drawbar, fed it down thru the small tube, hand shoveled a small hole to start in, tied the end of the wire to an anchor, dropped the knife and followed as he walked the perimeter of the dog area. 15 minutes later he had an acre fenced for his dog.

My Vet's favorite saying. "If you are going to have pets, take care of them. If you aren't going to take care of them, don't have them".

You cant fix stupid. Sorry about the dog, now go train the wife before she kills another one.

I am truly sorry for your loss. We have seen a number of animals killed on the road adjacent to our home, and it is always very sad.

As some have stated, pet owners need to secure their animals. This, by the way, does NOT mean on a chain! Owners that love their pets will provide a fenced yard, or other area containment solution.

Having said that ... there are an endless supply of uncaring and ignorant morons that make no attempt whatsoever to avoid hitting an animal. No, I'm not suggesting they swerve into oncoming traffic. Just hitting the brakes would be a nice gesture. Animals in the road are not at fault! I would just ask everyone to consider that every life is precious.

Hi Kioti. NICE POST! Thank you for the last paragraph. I did call the cops..they are out with radar ticketing the speeders today ! HOORAY.. in NB the fine for driving over 5t0 KPH above the posted limit is $1700 dollars and six points off your licence.. 8 points and you loose it for one year. Cops haned out ten so far today like that...GOOD! there are little kids playing nearby the highway in this sub urban rural area Where the parents have very little land with their dwelling place. I do have an inground electric fence that works, but my wife does not put the collar on the dog, She says it is cruel. Go figger

Further to my last post, the cops caught a kid on a motorcycle doing 230 KPH.. he was arrested and his bike was seized by the cops. Maybe saved his life.
