You can skip it.<br /><br />Alec's mother had a problem with animals breaking into her chicken coop and eating chickens. She decided to put one of her German Shepherds in the coop to sleep at night. Hasn't had a problem since. Would you like me to have her set aside a puppy in her next litter? They are really smart and easy little puppies to have! Always stay around. Dexter is already potty trained. Hasn't destroyed anything yet. You should get one!<br /><br />The new kitte is very cute, by the way!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631888161750601783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-88659367652810656292009-06-21T12:20:46.572-05:002009-06-21T12:20:46.572-05:00I kinda want to hear your analogy to men and their...I kinda want to hear your analogy to men and their similarities to roosters...!

But he wouldn't stand a chance against one.

And then sometimes they're still worthless...<br /><br />But I like the sound of their crowing, and they are pretty to look at.<br /><br />I could make some analogies here with the males of other species, but I will show great amounts of willpower and refrain from doing so.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-69542998872189857442009-06-11T10:36:49.280-05:002009-06-11T10:36:49.280-05:00I can't believe that one racoon can kill that ...I can't believe that one racoon can kill that many chickens in a five day span!!! Isn't it that darned rooster's job to protect them? What good is the man if not to take care of the hens??? It's not as if he needs to be fertilizing anything... Threaten him with becoming soup next time he "chickens" out!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224545847010649801noreply@blogger.com
