My neighbor killed one of my dogs. That is, I'm pretty sure that's what happened. And when I say neighbor, I mean the guy who lives in the house that's half a mile away (the closest to mine). Anyway, she, the dog in question, was probably doing something he thought was unacceptable or maybe he just wanted to shoot something. It doesn't really matter. I've only talked to this fellow maybe three times since he moved in about 2 years ago. The first time was when he was fixing the fence between our properties and I went over to see if I could help. Naturally, some of my dogs came with me and "violated" the (3-strand barbed wire) fence. I apologized and he said it was okay "as long as they don't run the horses into the fence". I guess he changed his mind.
The morning in question I was walking with my dogs as is my usual routine. Four of them ran over to see something on this neighbor's land. It was foggy and just a few hours before a major blizzard hit us. I couldn't see what the dogs were doing but I could see his horses and they weren't even moving, much less running. Then I heard a shot. Then three of them came running back to my house. Then the wind and the snow came up. I waited but she never came home.
I'm still waiting.
