4. My wife and I adopt death row dogs. It's about fifty/fifty they are good dogs.

We've got two now who would happily eat ducks -- no guilt, no shame, no remorse.

Needless to say we keep them away from ducks.

When I was a kid we were visiting our great grandma and our dog killed two of her chickens. It was my great grandma's opinion that any dog who killed chickens should be shot. My great grandma did not shoot our dog, instead she butchered the chickens, served them for dinner, and told us never to bring our dog with us again when we visited. Or else.

My great grandmothers were very hard women of the Wild West.
