... Frank, I never said the dog should be put down. I think you're hallucinating again. Lay off the bong man.
Ant, maybe I am, but we do this at my Mom's house with her Jack Russel... you can pet him, IF he allows it. If he starts to growl... leave him the fuck alone or you WILL get bit. He gives you plenty of warning first, but sometimes he just doesn't want to be touched. And know what? She has occasionally had drunken fools ignore that. They get bit. Who's fault? Theirs. And a house full of people is different too, then the animal should be put away. But for just a couple guests they should be able to follow the rules.
