Denise, I too lived with a bitch that tried every way possible to kill my old Lady. Never again will I let an animal CONTROL my life that way! Living in FEAR of when it was going to happen next. I could handle her just fine, but then you throw in a husband that isn't that dog savvy, and that puts a whole nother equation in the pproblem.
