Buff Dewlap Toulouse Thread

[Goin Quackrrs]

Ok, between last post and now, while getting kids from two different schools, I've gleaned info.

1. In Emporia, if the dog doesn't bite a person, they can't hold it, no matter how high the damage. No viscious dog.
2. The police officer that has the case is gone today and tomarrow, so it took them a while to get info
3. Tomarrow, I have to go to police office and get copy of the paperwork, which will include dog owners name on it
4. Lawyer advised me to go get my birds out of the trash can, bag them, and keep in deep freeze, in case we need to
prove that the birds died of dog attack (even w/pics and 3 other witnesses, aside from the two cops) as opposed to
heart attack, etc. (That'll be gross) Oh, and the first load of trash went out Monday, with most of my Khaki Campbells
and a few anconas in it. I've only got like 6 more with a few anconas and geese and the big turkey left to freeze, once I take
them out of the trash can.

5. He's pleased I've asked Celtic for value allready, especially since I've gotten birds from her, and she's got stock from
my original (now defunct of course) breeder. Says thats a good source for values for obviously equal birds.
6. Have appt with lawyer 2 pm on Monday, to immediatly decide how to go about the case. He's thinking a demand letter
maybe, or small claims, or one other claim I don't remember.

7. I'm calmer now, but terrified for my birds, even with all the fence work DH made us do on Sunday. Everyone is getting locked down in cages or the barn at night, and when we leave, no exceptions, except the turkeys that can fly.

Oh, and out on the lawn, where I put them to bake after their swims (which totally freak out baby girl these days) Lucky was happily nipping at weeds, and digging through grass munch on what bugs were withen her reach. Both girls still sit with their legs mostly out behind them. What is this about??? Lucky appears to be trying to stand, but she spreads her wings, and puts her beak in the dirt, then stands and falls fast. At least she's trying. Baby girls will drag herself around just a bit, and I think I saw her take one bite of grass.

Had a question...

I agree. I'm a member of NRA, own shotguns, rifles, 9mm handgun, and my conceiled carry. I know how to shoot, shovel, and shut up.

... but you answered it.

What a terrible thing to have to go through. I'd be sitting armed on my porch until further notice. Prayers for the continued recovery of your girls.

Marty.. I just can't imagine...

I can't believe these pet owners. They don't deserve the right to keep dogs if they can't contain or train them properly.

 

[Marty1876]

I agree with you.

 

[aoxa]

I agree with you.

We can't fire a gun on our property here..

We had a beagle chase our geese and I had my Corgi pin him down and we returned him to the owners with a very huge rant about keeping their dogs off our property, or those dogs would be shot in the head.

I can't legally do this, but I'd be driving a good 4 hours to drop this dog off at the animal shelter a province over. I think I scared the owners into listening though. I was dead serious, and so angry I was in tears.

I think this dog wasn't looking to kill. He had caught a smell and was bowling our birds trying to get to the woods. He has his own chickens that he doesn't bother. I wouldn't take any chances though.

Though if the dog around the property was the size of the dogs causing the destruction you are suffering through, I would have released my LGD as well. Clem is still in training, but mighty protective of her land with other dogs.

She's the one that warned us the dog was there. Koda stopped it.

If I didn't have so many dogs already, I'd get a donkey to protect the property. I guess they are the best protection when it comes to stray dogs. They will kill them.

aoxa I have seen a donkey chase a dog out of a pasture. Funny thing to see those hooves flying and stomping like mad.

That's exactly what Marty needs.

I'd be way too worried that the donkey would hurt my existing dogs who mean no harm. If I got a donkey as a baby, could I prevent this?

Marty has anyone had any ideas why your girls are still sitting with their legs out behind them? Have you talked to your vet about it. What if you stand them up holding on to them will they try to stand on their own?

Yeah.. That position sounds really uncomfortable. Poor things.

aoxa, we were warned to never let the dogs in that pasture (it was a neighbors pasture and donkey). The farm where our fainting goats came from has donkeys too and the dogs went in and out without the donkeys being upset. So I would guess if it was raised with your dogs they would be ok.

That would be awesome. I'd love to have one. They are endearing creatures.

How do your LGDs do with hawks? Clem didn't do much at all when a goshawk attacked a sizzle rooster. He was fine by the way. Silkies and sizzles are now not allowed free ranging.
