Stupid Dog

I took a shot at a dog tonight with the 12 gauge shotgun. I heard it barking awfully close to the house so I grabbed the gun and headed out to the deck. When I got out there the only thing I heard at first was the rabbits thumping under the deck, signaling that a dog had at least been close by recently. I had decided the dog must have left the premises, when all of a sudden a big German Shepherd comes running out from under the deck. I would have never guessed there was still a dog under the deck or I would have had the gun cocked and ready. By the time I had flipped the safety and got a shot off the dog was already at the back corner of the yard. Since I only had a skeet load in the gun I doubt it got more than a sting, but I guarantee he'll remember my place next time. If not, I'll be happy to remind him. Stupid dog. At least all the bunnies are okay...pretty stressed out, but okay.
