Yesterday was awful... my dog bit one of the kids from next door. 
He's a wonderful dog but he gets skittish when there are a lot of people around. I was in the shower and Mike was doing something with his truck out in front. The dogs were in the yard. Mike's cousin's kids (owner of the house we live in) get on great with Bear, never any problems. They were in the yard with their dog, Bear, and their dad. The next door kids came in, and apparently he got excied and bit one of them. If I hadn't been in the shower he would have been inside because I don't like to keep him out when there are a lot of people in and out. he tried to get out and he doesn't always listen. So next thing I know I'm getting out of the shower and i hear my dog yelp, Mike comes in and says he bit one of the kids in the leg. She needed two stitches, which i'm of course I told them I'm paying for, but now i have a dog that bit a kid. In a neighborhood with a whole lot of kids. He's such a sweet dog, and I know that one of the boys likes to bother the dogs, which doesn't justify it, but it was such a preventable situation. I've had my dog for more than 2 years, and I love him so much, i spent half the night crying. I've always had to keep him inside when I lived in an apartment, and now we have a big fenced in yard where he can play. I don't want to have to keep him inside, but I can't have him in the yard without constantly worrying that something could happen. I truly don't know anyone who'd want him, and I already researched shelters that don't euthanize animals, but it's really breaking my heart even thinking about it. I just feel like I don't have a choice with summer coming and so on.

Dotsamantha, that must be such a heartbreaking decision to make. These things happen, so I'm sure your neighbors will understand. I hope everything works out OK.
