I think you need to invest in a German Shepherd. They're great dogs! Unbelievable smart. And they stick around - they love their owners! Plus, little boys need to have a dog.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631888161750601783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-2534131822112586002009-08-09T13:59:42.553-05:002009-08-09T13:59:42.553-05:00Thanks, all of you, for your kind words.

But I think this is all of them.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-82479605275114292602009-08-09T12:43:32.472-05:002009-08-09T12:43:32.472-05:00Oh man Jo, sorry to hear about your chicks.

I worked in a veterinary hospital for years, and the craziest things I have seen come from these irresponsible people. One time we had 2 kids that came home from school to see their "free range" dog hanging from a tree, someone had tried to skin it too, still alive. Needless to say, we had to euthanize the poor animal with the kids in the waiting room. All the while not being able to reach the "parents". People should realize that fencing/kenneling their dogs not only is for the protection of others, but the dog itself, too. I am so sorry to hear about your chicken losses, and unfortunately the owners will probably not compensate you anywhere near what you are owed in time, care, and the value of your animals. Best wishes, you are doing wonderful things for your family!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
