My ZL bought a blow gun, poisoned the darts with oleander, and dealt with the problem. Maybe you guys could do something like that as a family one evening after midnight when everyone has already passed out. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I've gotta see a youtube video of Code Yellow Dad frothing at the mouth because of the bailout.

I've had to do it several times and it has always worked for me.<BR/><BR/>We don't have stray dogs here where we are in Brazil, we didn't in Mexico City or in Caracas, but in Carmen (Small Town Mexico) there were TONS. When we would drive around town my kids would play "count the dogs".<BR/><BR/>Good luck.

I'm sure you never thought you'd say that. There's dogs all over Istanbul too but fortunately the government has neutered them all. So we have massive amounts of very tame, lazy dogs wandering around the parks waiting to be fed.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824159954674170093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-68365721006645275362008-10-08T21:31:00.000+04:002008-10-08T21:31:00.000+04:00How scary. . . .

ONE ONLY stray dog in my nieghborhood... okay, so it isn't a stray, but it might as well be cause it wanders all over teh neighborhood, throwing itself at car doors and barking and scaring little children. I'm bugged by one, so I can't imagine entire packs of them... <BR/><BR/>so, I know it isn't exactly a funny situation, but I did love your interspersed bits of sweater waving humor.Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739365854048008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-44101282838090747382008-10-08T19:22:00.000+04:002008-10-08T19:22:00.000+04:00I think it is cute that you call it a "dog stick" ...I think it is cute that you call it a "dog stick" rather than an extendable steel police riot baton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-90391255373225141832008-10-08T18:03:00.000+04:002008-10-08T18:03:00.000+04:00I had no idea!

I think I'd take the dog stick -- not to hurt them, just to wield menacingly. And the poison thing? That's so sad...Katrina @ Callapidder Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502432103160398620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-33516266484394142832008-10-08T14:59:00.000+04:002008-10-08T14:59:00.000+04:00i do enjoy that in States there aren't stray dogs....i do enjoy that in States there aren't stray dogs. <BR/>In Taiwan I could see them also everywhere. They were laying around on campus everywhere. But they were mostly fed. Even though they looked awful as most of them had had encounters with scooters (the main vehicle on the streets there).<BR/>I have read Moscow has a similar problem. That the dogs there live in metro stations (one pic here: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__b8fE7BnI80/SNFcDWDaFWI/AAAAAAAABaw/Re1kaV2_I4A/s1600-h/1hullkoer.JPG).<BR/>Mostly I feel sad for these dogs. It is not their fault that people took them as puppies and then through them out.<BR/>I have no good advice for you how you could protect your kids.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491869796786015635noreply@blogger.com
