I am glad you want to keep the situation peaceful Krista, in that case even though the dog owner is responsible the best thing to do is take precautions to prevent this tragedy from happening again. Hopefully your neighbor makes good on his offer to replace the poor birds.She was just over last week, so all she had to do was run to the front of the property and come up the driveway. I'm avoiding a conspiracy theory because I don't want to dwell on revenge, and I fear retribution. Our own dog has been a bit of a Houdini before, and though he never hassled their livestock, he has gone over to visit their dogs. I wouldn't want harm to come to our Jack when we're not home.![]()
