| I think a wireless dog fence might be a little harsh on your children.
I am not BIPOLAR. I don't even like bears.

First time I was napping from a long shift, today I'm resting, sick with a stomach flu. What the hell do I did with a wife who is completely inattentive with our children and pets.
What about those wireless dog fences?
Divorce?
Nick, They are some extremely serious concerns in your post when the history is considered in context, right? I don't know what sort of counseling you and your wife may have received post-tragedy, but it sounds to me that there are still issues not far below the surface. Maybe consider professional help on these underlying (and totally understandable) issues? My prayers are with you all. |

Ditto. First thing I thought of. I never see your name and not think of your story. |

Page late and a dollar short
| My friend's Dalmatian would chase deer so he got an Invisible Fence. After the installation Domino would start to chase the deer, hit the DMZ as I called it, a YIP as he got the shock and continued to run after Bambi. In my opinion not much good. My daughter and her husband just bought a house with an Invisible Fence, a point brought up by the Relator. And they have a VERY small puppy. I suggested that they leash walk the puppy as I do not worry so much about the puppy running off but how do you protect the puppy from a larger dog or some wildlife (we have Coyotes around here) getting into your yard and attacking it? Next year they are fencing the yard. Or I'll nag the hell out of them until they do it.

| I second the Petsafe wireless fence. Our lab puppy has rode the lightning a few times and now if we go for a walk through the neighborhood I have to pick her up and carry her out of the yard She will turn and run full speed back to the house if she gets close enough to the boundary and the collar starts to beep. You will need to take your time and train the boundaries for a week or two. |

| Nick, As a few others have mentioned, what is happening is just a continued trend of sadness after the loss of your child. While I am a believer in the "for better or for worse" part of the marriage vow, both parties have to contribute to cause. Over the years you've received more than enough advice about counciling, therapy, etc. At this point I wish you only happiness and safety. God Bless.

I thought the same thing. I am sure you both have had help, but please get more. There is a lot to unpack in your post. Good luck to both of you, and God bless. A

| You're lucky you got your dog back twice. Having lived with GSP's for over 15 years, I'd never consider having one without a fenced yard. We actually had an invisible fence installed inside of our physical fence because he had Shorthairs that would go over, under or climb 4 foot split rail with wire mesh. Some of them would just take the hit anyway. If you can't do a physical fence, an invisible fence is better than nothing. Make sure your dog is chipped and licensed. A license can buy your dog extra time if it's turned into the local pound (there are rules for minimum/maximum time before they can euthanize). We were volunteers for a GSP rescue group and about half the dogs in the program were found running loose, most in not so great of shape. I'm sure you know the GSP can cover a lot of ground quickly so you need some solution to make sure you don't lose your buddy. I'd put up signs by the doors if I had to that no one was allowed to take out my dog unless it was leashed. Good luck.

Oh good. I'm not the only one. At first I i thought transpostion error of GPS. Wife lost GPS, there's multiple jokes in there, isn't there? Then I figured GSD misspelled when I saw we were talking about a dog. But now a second person is using GSP. Would a GSD puppy be a GSDP? |

It's not like you're limited to 140 characters here or whatever like the old days of texting where each text used up a limited number allowed for the month. Ok rant off. And yes, I also have no idea what a GSP is.
