My oppinon is to NOT get another cat and that rabbit is next...

Sounds like your wife is slowly getting over it, you'll be fine and rid of the cat

As far as trying to train a dog that is aggressive toward cats to not do it anymore, I think that is a ton of work and never going to be a relaxed situation. I perfer to have animals that get a long and wouldn't have it any other way. I realize many of you do rescue, or love your animals soo much that your willing to live like that, and for that you get my respect, your a bigger person than I. I wouldn't have any of it in my house. For example "crate and rotate"?!? Hell no...

I'd still "go the extra mile" and sign up for a agility class or something and if your kids are old enough involve them if they have any interest. Build some obsticals in the yard, have some fun and recover all at the same time.

we are recovering but there is a hidden quietness now like we saw the belly of the beast Still now my wife is letting the dog sleep in the bed and is playing with the dog I have explained to the children about how animals hunt.and they under stand that life has a harsh quality that many animals are pray driven , but i feel it must also be that animals are competitive for food so eliminate the competition .
It's to bad, learning has to have a price ,some thing arrives and some thing leaves.

On to one last note can you imagine , my wife during the peak called a friend who is a animal rescue
this person has like 25 cats 14 dogs goats EMU's like no end!! she told my wife any dog that kills a cat needs to be put down cause it has proven it self untrustworthy and unsafe.
Anamals are what they are i know my dogs will protect me and my family from any beast you find in the rural country I live in , that's piece of mind just the same.

So what can I do, it was blowing over my wife was in love with the dogs once more and under standing pray drive, working with the dogs also, BUT in the back round her friends family have made it imposable for me to keep my dogs, I imagine this has been in the back round since I had the dogs. Her mom constantly was telling her daughter stories about PB attacks, telling her about bans in different states, countries, comparing the recent chimp attack. Chimp !! More human then dogs ironically. I have experience almost every thing that is Dog, form scary to pure love and for me to pin all the guilt on a breed is un fare. So it seems as much as I have had a chance to love and enjoy the PB breed I have been chosen to endure the sadness of bias thinking, hate, small minds. This is my lot in life for the PB breed, a fleeting moment in time. If I had done every thing perfect from start maybe things would be different, still all involved would be waiting in the back round to pounce, there is nothing I could do to make it rite I did my best to only have dog’s with family when I was home, the dogs absolutely love the kids and I have plenty of pictures to prove it. I played it safe with unsupervised play,
As one can see though the cat was the slip up,I hade some other slip ups to. They were waiting all along. So fine pick that one thing, it’s an age old saying (they fight like cats and dogs) to hold against my dogs like they are the only breed that could do that to a cat.
it’s sad since NO other dog breed is the same to me, this breed make’s me a whole person, I am human with intellect I can deal in the long run, so lets forget what I am going through for now, What do I do with my dogs ? they have no papers, they are game, for all you people I need not state the obvious with any more words.
