Bad timing

[myEspringr]

The other night Bosco turned and snipped my wife. I wasn't in the room , it was a bout 2:30 a.m. i came back to bed half asleep and when i got in there the better half was checkin' out her hand , then when when i looked at Bos' hunkered down on the floor I started to put two and two together. I spent the rest of the mornin' layin' in bed thinkin' dumbass dog ,huntin' season just started now what to do. Started thinkin' well maybe having him put down is about the only thing to do. Talk to my wife later that day after ponderin' all day, and feelin' like crap cause of the whole situation, told her what i was thinkin' and she didn't like the idea. She told me that she knows what he means to me.
My main concern is the kids, plus one on the way.Now my wife has never layed a hand on him so I'm @ a loss why he did this. She didn't even touch him when it happened. All she did was tell him to get down and when she reached to pat him he growled then snipped. He has growled @ her one other time and it was @ night while we sleepin' and it was just tellin' him the same thing. He'll be three yrs old in dec. and he's already gettin' this way well what happens as he gets older. I'm still thinkin' about doin' it and gettin' it over with. I've had other dogs but Bos' is the most loyal and it just seems to be that much tougher tryin' to decide. Everyone i've talked to has just said ride it out a little longer and see what happens. The only thing could come up with to do is have her give him more attention.
Thoughts?
