Well this was not a trust issue. I knew this dog would kill a bird if given the chance. The bird just got out when I didnt intend for him to be. I shut the dog outside or in the bedroom or hubby holds him on his lap when i know they are gonna be out. Just one of those things.

I didnt mean you in particular because I remember your first thread on Odie and I knew you didnt let him out w/ you dog on purpose, BUT I cant believe the people I see that let their dogs and cats out w/ their birds, AND the amount of people I see walking around outside w/ their birds UNtethered and UNcaged! I am amazed at how they think "oh it wont happen to me" one example of this is at a MAJOR intersection here in town, there is a man that is always walking around outside w/ his CAG, and I keep telling hubby that one of these days something will startle that bird and the man will be thinking "I thought he wouldnt fly off" UGH
