I've basically had it with the folks around me who refuse to contain their dogs. I've put over a hundred miles on the bike since I bought it last week, and the one constant seems to be nitwits who let their dogs run out into the street and chase cars/cyclists/runners.
It didn't bother me...
What if a dog attacks or threatens to attack? Often times I wonder what the repercussions would be if while walking w/ my family we were approached, threatened, or attacked by a stray dog and I shot the dog to protect my family. Anyone know what I could expect legally?

So this beautiful black and white pit comes to my back porch. It seemed friendly, wagging its tail, so I go out to see if it has tags. Two LEOs come around the corner with flashlights, keeping their distance, and ask if it is my dog.
I say no, and they tell me...

Controversy rages weeks after Spiceland man shoots neighbor’s dog | thestarpress.com | The Star Press
A few nights ago, I was putting some stuff in my car parked in front of the house and my dog was out with me when an IMPD cop showed up in front of my house. A chill ran down my spine. I tried to call him to me, but I was too terrified to make a sound. When the officer stepped out and put his...

The bench trial today was a Pyrrhic victory of sorts. The other party didn’t get the $6000 they wanted, but I have to pay them half of their first vet bill...$330.
I will accept the judge’s decision with good cheer and move on with my life, because that’s what adults do.
Thanks for all the...
No good deed goes unpunished, as the old saying goes.
Here’s how things went down:
I looked out my back window and saw that one of my neighbor’s dogs had gotten out of the fence around the yard. He has two of them, brothers, and they act decidedly unfriendly toward walkers and joggers...
I've often heard that "bobcats" or "cougars" live in Indiana, but usually it was considered an old wive's tale and nothing more. Maybe some big cat activity in southern Indiana in the hills, but not to the north. This last weekend my mind got changed:
