It's all right man. We are all in here for each other, good and the bad. Been in situation you are in multiple times in the last few years. It's a really hard thing to do. Thoughts are with you and your gf.
Heading for the twin cities in just a few minutes.
Sounds like the dog we had a while back. Was a jack russell mix. Adopted him from the shelter after he brought in of the streets. They said he very protective of his food. He was. Every time he was eating and I would walk by him he would turn to nip at me.
However, he was very protective of us. One night when my dad was out walking him, they ran into some coyotes. So Jack, creative right, backed out of his collar and chased them off. My dad was calling out for him for a while. He had thought they had got him. After a while, Jack comes walking back, happy as can be.
After a couple years of having him, he bit my cousin, unprovoked. We didn't want it to happen again so we had to put him down. We always knew that was a likely scenario. We did the best we could and gave him a good home.

Ran into some bees. Boss's eyesight is not the best, so he couldn't see them flying around when he was up in the bucket. So we called it quits and will have to go back and finish sometime. Not sure what kind, but if they're honey bees, we're taking any honey.
Have fun. You should go have a beer with Boxster and get us a happy Snoopy return.
According to the news last night, the cities is now floating down the he river.
very briefly reading through, we had a dog who was abandoned near us ~10 years ago. Very sweet and friendly, but some signs of past abuse - super afraid of the water hose, large sticks, etc. Our dogs have always slept in the barn, in their own space but generally had access to where the cows are. In the winter, the cows are kept in the barn overnight - locked in stanchions. Came in one morning to one cow's face being all bit up. Pretty sure it was the abandoned dog. Had a couple more similar incidents over the next winter even with trying to keep her locked in a separate area. Eventually had to put her down as we knew she was a danger to the cows and because of that, the vet didn't want to vouch for her when we discussed giving her to someone else. Which was completely fair, it would have been horrible had she attacked a child or something. We think that the reflection of the cows' eyes at night set her off as she never had a problem during the day. It was really hard because she was just the sweetest, most eager to please dog. **** her previous owners.
Sorry to hear about your situation, cstrunk. Not easy.

I never want to see my Twins lose, but if it happens I hope it at least makes your trip better.
It's alright. It's a tough decision and it seems like you're making the correct one.
You cannot take the risk of a dog this size hurting someone, especially a child. From what you have said the dog is clearly a risk and I'd put him down.
I am kinda old school low tolerance for this stuff, product of my dad's approach. I had a small basenji I had just adopted from rescue that I immediately returned after he snapped at some small kids in the neighborhood. A small dog like that wasn't likely to really hurt someone badly but I wasn't going to take any chance with that.
Woke at 4 or so to beeping this and beeping that. First thought maybe the house was on fire. Then thought, ******* alarm batteries before it stopped and I realized the power was out. came back on around 830.

Bank Alfala in Karachi Pakistan wants me to confirm routing information for their wired payment. Pretty sure I've never done business with Pakistan, personally or on employer's behalf. How the hell do they find our email addresses...and get past the multiple layers of filters to my inbox?BTW, got an email "Bnak of America© ". Right.
