That’s a sad story. Sorry you had to do that.
It’s ok, I’ll never be bothered about it. I had a couple bad-ass healer crosses that would normally keep things serene, but we were not always in synch (i.e. they would be on the porch and I would be coming home/at the gate etc.) I keep a carbine in the truck ALWAYS.
Here at my house in town, I have pits in the neighborhood. Pistol on the body, carbine in the truck.....
These are erudite pits, though. Upwardly mobile middle class pits that have papers and do cool tricks..........
