Posted earlier this morning about being up all night and about Jax saving my chickens from some stray dogs, but it gets better.
Long story short - Dogs came back. Jax cleared the fence. Jax chased the bigger dog that was now chasing the cows while I chased the little dog that was after my chickens again. Then I chased Jax who was chasing the bigger dog who was still chasing the cows. Three heifers went into the little pond and got bogged down in the mud. Chased Jax who was chasing the bigger dog that was chasing the cows clear across the meadow and down to the big pond. Almost, but not quite got my jeep stuck. Yep, the mud's that bad. Looped around to the road, no sign of Jax, the big dog or the little dog, but lots of frantic cows everywhere. Checked on chickens real quick. Called DH at work and yelled Help! Went back to looking for dogs, cows and to the safety of my chickens again. DH comes home from work (thank you Chief!). Spot two heifers down in a pasture. Come back up to the house to call the farmer that the cows belong to. Walked back down to check on the cows. Come back up to the house to change out of my PJs, there are some things your neighbors should never see. DH brings Jax home. No sign of the other dogs. Help neighbor get the heifers loaded onto a trailer. They're not hurt from the dogs, but from another problem. Neighbor tells me to put my new shotgun to use next time I see the strays. Send hubby back to work. Check on the chickens once more. Tell Jax his butt is staying outside until I work up enough energy to wash the cow poo and mud off of him. Put supper I had planned back in the frig. Plan sandwiches instead.
