A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

[R2elk]

Ugh what a shitty afternoon! Had the windows open and hear turks and goats and cow goin NUTS. Out the door i ran bare footed. At first i thought that it was my escapee hen had gotten stuck in the gate... but nooooo my mothers dog had my hen and was takin her up the hill to her house. It was my escapee had gone to make business. I hollared at him amd he let her loose and she walked away. I nabbed her with no fight and this is NOT a touchy bird ever. Got her home and he had gotten her around her middle and hit her lung he went so deep. She had several more spots by that one. Called paul (he works eight minutes from home)... can you please come take care of my hen cause i know she is not gonna live. She he came and did it for me. Had he been on a delivery i would have because i would not have let her wait two hours til he got home. But he saved the day. I finished dealin with her... took breast and legs is all i could get that damn dog had not got. But i was furious. And while i am doin it up walks mama. So she now knows what happened.. i was not gonna tell her (she has lewy bodies dimentia) and was jus gonna watch the dog closely to see if he tried for my chickens. Well.. i was washin the meat at kitchen and she was lookin out the window and damn if he didnt go get one of my chickens! Out we go. I pick up that hen and i did have to do the deed cause i knew paul was on a delivery. Ugh! That is the one job i do not do ever. But again my hen was not gonna suffer cause i am a wuss. So i did it.

Mama says the dog has to go. THANK GOD! We have been tryin get her to get rid of this dog since a month after she got him. He has tried bite paul and i many times. I cannot step a foot onto her deck if he is out and cannot go in the house unless he is locked in her room. This is NO good! If anyone needed get to her the dog would have be shot first cause he would t let anyone neear her. And i have pleaded and told her this too many times to count. I just really pisses me off that it took her SEEING the dog run off with a chicken to say he needed go. What makes it ok for him to stay here with him tryin bite us still after six months of livin here... and he sees us daily! The first thing she asked me when she walked up today was.... did you see him do it.... oooooooo i bit my tongue on that bit. She told me have paul come get him when he got home. I told her no... neither paul or our son (he is grown) will do that. If she remembers nothing of ths whle thing it would ne that they shot her dog. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Geez louise is this day over yet?!?! And. Tomorrow i have take her to the dentist an hour away so i am sure to hear about it all the way up and back.

Sorry for my soapbox rant!

Sorry you had to go through this.

Sorry to hear about your horrible day.

Oh wow.. that dog sure needs to go... so how is that going to happen if you all don't do it? Will she remember tomorrow that she said to get rid of the dog.... I think the dog just needs to"run off" and no one knows what happened to it while your at the dentist

The dog can either be surrended to animal control or we can go have the vet do it or he will come here. If he goes to animal control we will tell them he is biting and killing animals... and they would not adopt him out. But i cannot let my guys do it because she would remember that i think. Weird stuff she remembers like an elephant and obsesses over it. This would be one of those things.

Right now her dimentia makes her way more irritable, mean, fristrated, and she cannot make the words she sees in her head come out her mouth. Lewy bodies dimentia is very different from alzheimers type dimentia. This form of dimentia she won’t lose her thoughts til the end. . Which MAY be a blessing of some sort for HER but not us... but dealing with the rest of how this one works is gonna suck way more for us. Because she cannot control what does make it out of her mouth so much and she will/has been uhm violent. Thanks goodness she is a petite lady. So the majority of the time she is either upset or pissed off and nasty. There really is not much inbetween anymore. She does have some memory issues but it is more needing to ask a million rapid fire questions. Not really for answers. She does live in the past some but it is more when she is hallucinating.. which the lewy bodies does. It would be SO much easier for the “regular” alzheimers maybe...i dunno.

Got home this evening from work while getting eggs collected.

I saw 3 successful matings palm, bourbon, and narri. But 1 unsuccessful in my blue slate pen. Hen would lay down but when tom went mount she would squirt out and stand. Watched this happen 3 times. Not sure what was going on with her. Doesnt like tom, or hes to big or just being a tease. Idk.

Would love to be ranging my hens but with potential predators all are in pens. Potentially will be til aug. So no egg hunting for me.
Got 6 eggs today.

But my 2 pheasant hens each laid today first eggs of the season.

That really stinks for all involved.

Sorry you had to go through this.

As crummy as it was... i DID learn somethin! That my tom would die before he let anthing happen to his ladies inside their space. . He was all over the fence tryin get out to her. That my goats even though they don’t care if the turks are here or there do pay attention and i actually think they would also try to defend my birds... my gracie and cozmo were rammin the fence over and over as i ran up the hill screamin my fool head off. All of them were hollarin like crazy pants. And the three month old cow that also shares that space... she was hollarin and runnin up and down the fence as well. Not one creature up the hill was runnin away from the fight. The goat kids did but none of the adults did.

And i also learned that if i absolutely HAVE to dispatch an animal i CAN do it. And do it swiftly. So it was not a total loss i think. .

Thanks hon. We just take it as it comes. Sometimes it is minite by minute other hours or days by days. I wish for mama that she had alzheimers dimentia though. This one makes it hard on everyone instead of mostly just the care givers. . I wish mama didn’t remember the yuck nasty things. Because i can learn to deal with it but she feels bad for her words and actions. I wish i could wave a fairy wand and poof she would forget it. Just so she would be at peace more.
