Doris is faster then me, so the backing away thing only makes her rear up on her hind legs and swat me to the ground ( I call it the carnage attack). I have learned to start drulling while dropping to the floor in the fetal postion gives me the best defense. Sometimes she will just paw and bite me a little, but so far I have lived to tell this tale.
Not that I'm not the man of my castle it's just the queen has the key to the nooky farm, pleasure dome, snack shack, and some of my other favorite hang outs.
I guess I could shoot her but I have heard the female skull is so hard that small caliber shells will just bounce of and it makes them ever madder.
