My neighbor's dog has developed a blood taste for Milady's kittens.
When it brakes out of the invisible fence, the dog makes a bee line up
here to hunt and kill as fast as it can.

My neighbor and I are close friends. His kids adore that dog. So I
need to come up with something non lethal and preferably no large vet
bill.

Anyway, I've heard of filling a 12 gauge shell with rock salt from the
water softener. Will shooting an animal with this just barely break
the skin, my goal? What range? I know if I'm too close serious injury
could result. Anyone with experience here?

One simple question, should I re-seal the top of the shell with melted
paraffin? Or another way?

Tell the kids what's happening and that the kittens are as close to you as
the dog is to them. Kids can often cut through the BS better than
grown-ups, they might have a perfect solution.


Tom, I think you're spot on here. One of the kids works for me. I can
get the word to my neighbor without having to do the direct
confrontation.

You should do some pix of kittens. I can display them on the TV and have my
dog "talk" to them! She's 16, no teeth, bum leg, half blind and deaf but
LOVES to talk to animals on TV. Not a threatening talk, she wants to play.
