Maybe in your "super crazed" drug induced state ya can pick up the fence poles...and as in the cartoons we grew up with....ya could ride along and just chunk 'em in the ground without digging and tamping the hole....then ya can unfurl that no-climb and stretch and slap it in place as ya spit the staples into the posts....fencing Done!!.....

Steroids do all THAT? DA-yuum…….I think i went beyond dirt.. Bay lol.......I bleached and scrubbed 12 x24 feed/ tool shed, scrubbed metal roof on goat barn, went to check on animals next door, no hay feed or water...had a come to Jesus talk with neighbor about animals, came home did our chores,and just realized the steroid energy has arrived...get the hell outta my way, i am on a mission to get things done. Just told DH we are buying two more rolls of no climb fence tommrow...you can either help or we will pay for help but it is getting done....you can't reason with a woman on steroids,.....he is sooooo patient...I told him I can't put up with me right now, how the heck are you doing this...answer, your fun to watch and nobody could keep up with you so its just easier to go with the flow

I may go against the grain here but I give my dogs a break in just a few areas. I have herding dogs also where I expect instant and total obedience but I give them a few safe areas that are literally theirs with the kennel/crate being one of those places. I have had occasions where a dog was afraid of contact for who knows what reason and they went under or behind something. I expect a bite in that case from them out of fear. I would never reach in to grab any of our dogs although they are super obedient. I have been known to dump dogs out of a cage but I think you are putting them in a no win situation by reaching in to pull them out.

Your other post came across as I was typing my response. If the dog can't be controlled it would have to go. You do a lot of rescues and there is no telling what this dog has gone through and it may not be capable of changing.

There's your answer. The voice of reason.
Yes give her another chance and respect her safe place. If it means no chewys for her, so be it. Or maybe give them to her only outside.

I'm going to be the horrible one here.... I say put her down. I gave a dog a second chance once. It was my own dog and he bit me in the face. Short story: My son and the dog had a hate/hate relationship. The dog was trying to get into the house because he was scared of my son. I came up behind the dog and bent over from behind him to reassure him. My bad - perhaps. He thought I was my son and as I was down on his level he attacked my face. I give him credit for being instantly remorseful - he rolled over and presented his belly to me and tried his best to sink through the floor.
He got me above and below my right eye... a fraction of an inch either up or down and my eye would have taken the brunt. I gave him a second chance. A few weeks later he scooted out the door and went after a lady pushing a baby stroller down the street. He bit her on the heel...thankfully she had on heavy shoes and wasn't injured - but that was the last chance. He wasn't fearful then - he was aggressive. We put him down within the next few days....
Broke my heart...
