Sorry for upsetting you SunnyCalifornia... I can only write as I feel - I have had a BAD day today - I can't help but keep looking for Boss although I know he won't come back home to me and more importantly his babies he raised.... Oh no. you are going to start again aren't you...???

The last day of the hunting season is here - not much activity BUT.... yesterday one of our hunting friends killed a large dog fox - not far from where Boss was killed... I can't say for sure that it was the predator but I feel better in knowing that there is one less predator around here! My...

Thanks all of you for your messages..... last hunting day tomorrow, a week to the day that Boss was killed.... there have been hunters out today with their dogs, my ducks and geese have stayed very close to home - all are safe and sound in their locked accommodation tonight - they are wary of...

Hi chickensioux, I will always allow my fowl to freerange our land, my ducks and geese start swimming on the mill pond as soon as they are feathered enough and they stay close to home for some weeks, they then venture further as their parents take them up river ( the river feeds the mill pond )...

GooseDragon, You are correct - Auvergne is in France and sadly the dogs used by some hunters here are not trained in any way which should teach them to distinguish between what is, and is not acceptable - it is no fault of the dog- it is entirely the owner who should train the dog(s) to hunt...

GooseDragon, I admire you for your comments - I can't imagine the horrors you went through to have 5 attacks from these dogs. One of my GSD's will attack chickens and he is never allowed to roam, if by chance he did ever get out and attack anyone else's animals I would hate for him to be...

Hi GooseDragon, No offence taken, it is good to hear warnings when we are so preoccupied with our loss - all of my geese are housed safely overnight, as are my ducks, chickens goats etc. My animals have always had the freedom to roam during the day but every one of them come home at dusk ( or...

That is a lovely sentiment ChickenZoo..... I looked on your website and you probably have more animals than me - I lost count at 90.... and I love them all but yes, it gives room for more love for others to come.... I have Silkie babies at the moment and although they get lots of love from Maman...

I am waiting for the predator to return, unfortunately our animals free range on 20 acres and some of the boundaries only have barbed wire fencing which is not a deterrent against foxes and dogs, the geese and ducks also swim on the river (which flows through our land) and will go beyond our...

ChickenSioux - Thank you so much for the poem The words have helped me and my other half - we are devastated but do understand that nothing is forever, Boss was ( and is ) so very special to us - he taught us a lot, was a wonderful guardian for the goslings and he enhanced our lives in a way...

Boss - My Adult Gander ( he raised and looked after all of my goslings ) didn't return home last night with the other Geese, he was a Toulouse and a true gentleman - I knew immediately that he was dead, he always looked after the other geese and was the one who returned them home whenever I...
