Hoo Boy am I tired...
I read the title of your post and truly thought you took a gun and fired it at some poor pooch belonging to your husband!!
Then I was reading the replies and thought, "how could everyone condone this person shooting at a poor defenseless animal??"
I was even going to post about how I understood you are stressed but why take it out on a doggie??
Then I realized you were using an expression about your discussion with your husband. Duh!
(Hope this at least brings a smile to your face... and you feel better)
