EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

The wife wanted a goat. she got one I knew trouble was in the works. Goat kept knocking the fire out of a jagd terrier that knows how to heel a big mean boar. My wife wants to let the goat loose during the day I told him no so hes been pretty good to just take it but being a jagd he was building a grudge and came home from church he rode with us and geuss who got loose and decided to be mean to the little helpless terrier? yeah you got that right youve seen a jagd get that look in the eyes where you know its in kill mode and cant hear see or feel. Wifes gone goat and kids went with her. We were having such a nice day too. Bad part is she wont come home unless hes gone. what to do what to do? I love my wife but don't think thats a very good choice. Hes dynamite in the woods. Im pretty sure if she would divorce me over that she aint to fond of me anyway. I'm going hunting in the morning on the bright side. Hope i get one might be my last hunt.

A hunting dog is always going to hunt u let the game come out the dog by putting the dam goat by the dog. The dog did nothing wrong it was acting on insitant game droving its not the dog its the owners

Sounds like I would have me some BBQ Goat and the wife would be gone !

X2. I agree if your wife will leave you over a damn goat help her pack

I always say .....a good hog dog is hard to find , I think I would be keepin the dog an if she felt that way well then she better get a uhaul cus she gonna be moving

Girlfriends are usually more understanding.....even of wives!  ;D

I'd be more than happy to tend to your Jagd till things settle down!!

Do whatever you have to to get the kids back home!  Wife's either leave or stay, but I would do everything in my power to keep her if thats what I had to do to keep the kids!   Take the dog to one of your buddies, if they are worth calling buddies, they will keep him for you until things work out one way are another.  

Man sorry to hear this. It seems that me and the wife get in the biggest fights ever... Over nothing. Uuuummmmmm goood bbq goat

Tell her if dog goes so does the goat then take the dog to a friends.

x2

Why don't you break the dog off unwanted game?  ???

I say just let her cool down and she'll come around. The goat was her pet so of course she's gonna be upset, and overreact. With a little time she'll calm down and forgive you and the dog. And probably end up being sorry she told you to get rid of your dog.

women are dime a dozen , good dogs are hard to find . but life is to short to fight and argue all the time. do what you thank is right

first off things happen. And if the goat is out in your dogs space, then it really isnt your dogs fault, thats his space and the goat is a RUDE quest that is traspassin! Being a lady myself i get attached to all the animals, but your wife needs to understand the "laws of nature" hang tight  and it will work out hopefully.

 ha ha good post bump . all this the ol ladys gotta go is crazy . just get an e- collar on the dog and break it off the goats  . what you gonna do when you are huntin and the hog runs in to someones goat pasture .

Yep, girlfriends are one thing, but wife and kids are another and a dog ain't worth loosing both. Thats why theres so much divorce these days, nobody takes their vows seriously.
  Yeah, its crossed my mind a time or two, but thats as far as it got. Good luck, hope ya'll can get it worked out.

REally doubt the dog is worth a date tbibj family court. Get someone to keep the dog for a while,till tempers settle.

No man, you go get your wife and kids and you TELL her she's coming home and you won't have no more of her attitude. ;)

Brother i been there and still doin that.  Wasnt cause of a dog, it was more cause of huuntin, and to top it off it was only once a week.  No drinkin, partyin etc.. just going to the woods ONCE A WEEK!  I told her it was my stress relief, from her, work, stress of new baby etc.  Lemme tell ya, ATTORNEYS ARE EXPENSIVE, but hey at least i get VISITATION with my son..  Just sayin..

My wife knows better than to tell me to get rid of my dogs. I told my wife in the beginning the dogs were here before her and will be here after she leaves.

the dog doesn't even look at a goat until it knocks the crap out of him when he s minding his own business. he don't run cows or anything i tell him no about. I did that with a e collar. Wife is very immature I guess if she is still at her parents tonight i will have to get rid of the dogs for a while.  I love my wife and shes a good woman for the most part but if i could do it over i sure would marry for compatibility and friendship a lot more than star eyed love.

If a goat is all it takes dont sound like a keeper.... no offense but sack up justt my.02

any one e collared a goat and ya dont lose ur kids over a dog just giving a hard time

yep...and getting married can ruin a good relationship. :o :) all kidding aside sense you have children you need to do your part in making it work...compromise and build a nice kennel for your dog so that the goat will be safe...then you can turn the dog loose for excercise when under supervision...need to start breaking your hog dog off of livestock anyways...

Cull the goat ... I would lol

I somehow haven't had that problem but if your dog is fine until the goat hits him. Let your catch dog run loose for a while. It will end the hitting stuff lol. But seriously it doesn't sound tome that the dog is your problem. I'd hafta tell her it's either me or the goat!

just sounds to me like you need to fix pens or kennels to properly confine your dogs and YOUR WIFE needs to fix a proper area to safely confine HER goat.

it works BOTH ways...

hope it works out for you.

marriage and children are not worth loosing over
a dog or a goat.

It sounds like dog is more loyal than she is. Tell her dont let the door hit u where the good lord split u. Have her stuff packed when she comes hm n be nice n help load up n escourt her from the house

I agree that its not worth losing your kids and wife over, but what kind of true loving wife would just up and leave over your jadg defending his self from a dang goat when the dog was there first? I would stand my ground with my dog and I would go get my kids or I would be in jail.

I see it like this(went through all this with my X) If she will leave over that she is not happy and was looking for an excuse to leave anyhow. Yea its not worth losing your wife and kids over but you will never lose your kids. They might not live with you but you will get them some. I tried to make everything work with my x just for my boy but now i have been remarried
he seems to be so much happier and loves his stepmom more than his own mother. NO JOKE.
Just my input. You do what your heart tells you not what everyone else because in the end when all said and done its you living that life. Good luck.

x2...is she wanting an excuse or is she just being selfish? There should be a compromise because we only live once and we should take each other into consideration...The goat and the dog is a mole hill and not a mountain...

X2. 

Post 2 videos, one of the dog in action and one of the wife in action.  I will tell you which one to keep and which one to send over to my house.  ;D

Well said


Finally the hog doggin can resume!

 >:D >:D :laugh: haahaahaahaa

When it comes down to whats really important in life... I think that hunting dogs and goats are way below family on the list. I would never leave my husband over a stupid goat or even a herd of goats and I hope that he would never leave me over a dog or even the whole pack. Just something to think about. I hope it all works out for yall.

I agree...

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah the wife if i could get her started on hogs

JMO, but any person that would choose hunting or dogs over their family probably should try to straighten out their priorities. We are all here because we share a love for hunting, but no man should allow anything to come between his family. As husbands and fathers we have a moral and spiritual obligation that should be fulfilled. I am not going criticize anyone for the choices they have made, but we know what fills right in our heart. 

like said before , if she throws a fit like this over a damn goat whats it gonna be nextime ?

just keep your mouth shut and let her decide what she is gonna do .

if not you might as well castrate yourself and put'em in a sack for her .

so when are you leaving  ;D

dogs not woman are called mans best friend!     dont talk or take your dog out for a week or month and he will still sit in your lap!!!!!

so a little collar trainin for goat...turn it up!

Your 100% right

Im not to fond of goats or JAGD dogs id get rid of the dog,goat,wife and keep the kids.then find some yella dogs and a girl with a bass boat and a great job. LOL

I just sat down with a fat dip of snuff, hadnt spit yet, and your post made me laugh so hard and fast I just spit all over the front of my shirt.

My wife told me that once. 26 years later Ive got more dogs and she still aint gone!!!!! Whats a man gotta do?!!! ;D
If she dont come back then let me know. Im gonna buy her a goat.

Wife vs dogs? There's a vs that beats cat vs bmc and all! If its between my wife and the dogs... well it was once. Still have my dogs an I'm still married. But if I actually had to choose... dogs! And leave my two boys too. I need good help in the woods.

I would chose the wife but if the dog goes then then goat goes too. That's called compromise.

Agree with jam up . He is right

im selling the dog, house she dont like and doing whatever she says. I cant get on here anymore if she comes back because she hates hunting too now apparently. doggem for me I wish it was me.

sounds like you need to hit a gas station and air your balls up if your going to let her tell you what to do i been through 3 wifes and it was all over hunting .when they say me or the dogs i tell them not to let the door hit them in the ass on there way out . then i found the right woman and i get to hunt whenever i want no fights about dogs   . SOUNDS LIKE SHES NOT THE RIIGHT GAL FOR YOU

I say sell the dog to a friend or give it away to a good hunting friend that will appreciate the dog...or loan the dog and let him use it as his own dog as long as you can get him back if you get back in at a later date. Because I just don't see how a relationship can work with this type of manatory conditions. Hope it works out for you...but she is wrong to give you an ultimatum on your hobby and small dog. it is not like you are going to bars and picking up women...

Jmo but she knew what she was signing up for when she married you. You may get past this bump by selling the dog but the resentment you are going to develop towards her is going to do nothing but get worse. If she is willing to leave you over this then  she is looking for a way out anyway. You may want to consider getting a actual counselor to talk with the both of you so you can have a 3rd party go over the situation with the both of you and get to the root of the problem.

x2...just like buying a car to improve the relationship...works for about a month and then the car payment is due...and then the car insurance is higher because it is a new car...you find out that things can get worse than before you bought the car...not exactly the same but getting rid of the dog is not really getting to the root cause of the problem...it is only a temporary fix and both of you are not addressing the real issues (root cause)... hope both of you can work it out...but I agree with hogsnatcher about maybe a marriage counselor can help you both...

this is great. I like the advice and i am laughing alot. I'm even in a good mood hog doggers are the best.

I agree with them... If she is willing to leave you over a dog/goat then she has been waiting for reasons... don’t let her bully you man. There has to be compromise in a relationship!

hell yeah what yal said! Send that jagd down to central texas i promise ill give him back rolleyes!

Good analogy smart man

smart man

As a girl, I’m trying REALLY hard to catch where she could possibly be coming from… Only thing I can figure is she doesn’t enjoy the sport, or care about it like you do, so she doesn’t appreciate your dogs.  That bein said, I’m having a really hard time understanding the whole wanting a goat thing, but to everybody their own--and I can respect that.  JMO, I agree with the compromise idea!!  If the dog’s gotta go so does the frickin goat that prolly doesn’t do much anyways!!! Seriously though, keep your head up and follow your heart- only you know what’s right for ya’ll. 

Jmo but just from what I've read it kinda sounds like she wants out of the relationship, but doesn't want to be the one to say it. Making you sell your dogs, house, and give up something you love because she doesn't like it seems kind of extreme to me. Sounds like she's trying to push you out. So when someone ask what happened she can put the blame on you. I respect you for wanting to make it work for the kids but she needs to chill out and be willing to compromise some. If you keep giving in to her demands the resentment will keep building up in you until you get to the point where there's no chance of reconciliation between you two.
I agree you guys should check into seeing a counselor, because it definitely sounds like there's bigger problems than the dog getting ahold of the goat. I hope everything works out for the best for you and your family.

Invite her back home and cook her a nice steak dinner by candlelight so yall can discuss the situation. Tell her you love her and will get rid of the dog if they will come home. When you finish your meal ask her how the goat tasted.   :o :laugh: :laugh:

That is EXACTLY what hapened with my ex wife. Those were back in my ramblin days and I was sitting on the couch with Sam (my black lab) drinking beer. She came in and bowed up by putting her hands on her hips. They are mad when they do that. She tole me "either me or that damn dog is going". I hugged Sam and gave him a drink of beer and told him "Sam, it looks like she is going to leave us boy--we sure are going to miss her".

You talk about hitting a nerve. She left shortly after that and filed for divorce. Little did I know that was the very best thing that ever happened to me in my life. If had of stayed hooked I would either be dead or getting out of prison about now for killing her and her momma.

I have been married to the same woman now for a long time and she is a keeper. We hardly ever have a cross word with each other. However, a long time ago she said she was leaving and going to take half of the bird dogs. That got my attention and we made up.
 

Life is way too short and if she is willing to leave you over a dog it ain't gonna work anyway.

HogDogMike...was gthat you and Sam I saw on that beer commercial a few years back???  ;D :)

Buddy, i'm all for the sanctity of marraige, but marraige aint one person giviing in all the time, it's supposed to be give and take.  I suggest hold off getting rid of your dog, let a buddy close by keep it. Then find you a Church counselor or a marriage counselor and get to the bottom of this. Your dog aint what's making her unhappy. Something else is up, and when you get rid of your dog, the problem is still going to be there. And I'm all for staying together for the kids, but what they are learning now is dysfunctional. Bottom line, you may jump through all the hoops for her, and in 6 months, you may still be seperated or worse, and without all the things you enjoy doing that you gave up. Man, i wish you the best and will keep your family in my prayers, i went through something similar and gave up my best dogs, and I'd be lying if i didnt say i still resent it  just a little when i see those dogs doing good for other folks. Good luck

x2
I would have do this to my wife lol

refer to brad paisley song ( im ganna miss her ) and jeff foxworthy ... she may not be riding a new pony but she has pulled the saddle out of the barn !!!!!

LIFES TOO SHORT TO WASTE ON BAD WOMEN OR BAD WHISKEY

x2 got to create a solution! BBQ goat!! yum!

Wife will b leavin cause I would not sell the dog for sure

I'm still telling you, you don't ask, request or beg, just go get her. Bring her back, put the kids to bed. "brownchickenbrowncow" and then slapp her butt and tell her to make you a sandwich.

Women act huffy and puffy, but 90% of them respond well to a decisive man.

x2 T-Bob, but only to an extent. If she is leaving you over a dog I think that she was waiting on an excuse. If she really wants to be with you as a family then she wil come back if you asked... if she don't, then you might be better off with someone else. Family comes first, but you only have one life to live... so don't give up everything you love just to make her happy when she isn't willing to give up anything to keep you happy, AND is so quick to leave. JMO Been in similar situation before, and had to basically put the hammer down like T-Bob said, but with a little finesse.  ;D

 :o ;D :)

Any updates?

Yeah woman are nuts we are in Texas kids are at grandmas and she's going hunting with me in the morning.

happy ending right?...

HOG HUNTING OR GOAT HUNTING ?

Lol

Tri Tronics 3 collars! One fir the dog! One for the goat! One for the wife! Get ya a 30 pack and set back and let the sparks fly!!!

got to keep both:)

Meaning the dog and the goat right??? LOL!  ;)

Hey I got goats and dogs and my husband knows it going to be hell if the dog gets my goats and breaking them is hard let me tell you but I think that if I had a incident. Where a dog got after my goat I would be mad but its in there nature to hunt things and goats make good targets I guess LOL as long as the goat is fine she may come around I would I think everyone. Needs a hobby to relieve. Stress and get away for a while good luck and I hope everything gets better I agree let the smoke clear  ;)

I agree with camodogs I am a wife to I go hunting with my husband I also have goats and the dogs have had rounds with them but what do u expect it happens life is to short to fight over a dog and a goat she should be happy the goat is alive I have seen worse :angel:

I am glad things worked out. My wife kept complaining about the dogs. Now she never threatened to leave me over the dogs but would not give me a chance to breath. I went and loaded a pistol. She asked what I was doing. I told her that I loved her way more than the dogs and I was going to shoot every one of my dogs just to make her happy. She would not let me shoot the dogs. Now she still gives me a hard time but tells me to do something to fix the problem.

I am about to change how my kennels are set up so a dog will not get wet when it rains and whine all night. Because my wife is not happy about the dog whining. Now I was planning on fixing the leak in the dog house anyway but now she thinks I am doing it to make her happy ;D Life is good when I work to make her happy.

I think that it is important to make your wife feel like she is the most important thing in the world to you. Then she will put up with what makes you happy. Plus like T-Bob said be decisive and have a back bone. She may get bent a bit but she will respect you as long as you do it with her in mind. I will not tell my wife to make me a sandwich for me when she is mad (don't know what she would out in it). But I let her say what she has to say, I let her know she was heard, and then I do what I am going to do while she fusses at me ;D

goats gone:)

Keep that pimp hand strong hahahaha

Word!  O0

Need more info bud what happened

was it visible?  ??? ;D :)

I tried to sell the dogs. I kept getting stood up and driving to meet people that never showed up I took her with me to tex to hunt and we didn't find any pigs.  I've been like five or six times and always get at least a couple. She got rid of the goat on her own. I told her to keep it. I think while hunting she may have realized how good a dog that little sucker is. the other dogs were under foot most the time. He was out 600 700 yards and never stopped hunting and she commented on it a couple times. I casually told her he is the heart of my pack and was quite and let it sink in. when we got home she sold the goat. I've been saying yes ma'am and no ma'am and all is well.

You will never change a woman's mind. But you can put stuff out for her and let her change her own mind. I am glad she decided to keep your dog and get rid of the goat.

worked out...good deal...

Glad to hear it man hopefully she will go with you again and yall can catch a few may be better than it was before.

Lol good to hear man, let the sofa do the talking... Lol!

*dogs lol not sofa!
