8 weeks..........We can do this you guys! Don't you all think?



I sent from about 1 or 2 this afternoon till 8pm tonight out back. I don't think I'll have any problems with break ins from dogs though. Suddenly, there are no dogs on the street! LOL All it took was AC showing up yesterday and picking up 3 attack Chihuahuas and everyone finally pulled in their dogs. Not like they'll continue to do it, but for now, they're all affraid of losing them. And it wasn't me that called, so I'm not the only one tired of this crap. Right after AC drove past my house and down the street a woman was walking on the sidewalk across the street and very upset she said "They're taking ALL the dogs!" I didn't even respond. The 3 big dogs took off while the officer was being attacked by probably 6 Chihuahuas and Chi mixes, so he went after the little ones. The Lab just slowly walked down the street and through a vacant lot. Guess he thought he'd leave his flunkies behind. LOL I'm just glad they got some of them, but I'm sure these people will just brong more around. I'm hoping some of my chicken killers are gone now.

That's great glad the AC was out there rounding up those dogs, maybe you can have some peace now at least for a little while.

They only got 3 and they were little, but there was NO barking all last night. You wouldn't believe how nice it was and how different from every other night.

I'll post what I did on FB




I've been gone all day running grandkids to the dentist, work, picked one up from daycare and went shopping with Makayla and 2 of my other grand daughters to buy a present for my oldest grand daughter. Busy day, but we all had a good time. I got home a little over an hour ago and went out to add hay to the rabbit pens and found feathers all over my yard. I ran to the dog run, but Isis and Dusty were in there staring at me and acting upset. I searched the whole yard and there are feathers in 3 different spots. Something dug my Game hen Sunshine up. She was one of my oldest birds and I lost her this week. Then I started checking pens. There was a huge hole dug under one of the coops. I mean wide and deep and whatever got in went UNDER the wire and pulled it up! And Baby and Ganache aren't in there. I see their feathers!! I know what happened, but I can't believe that other than feathers, there's nothing else. Sunshines feathers are in the dirt whe...re I buried her and under the palm. I'm just sick! My gate was open when I got home and I closed it and went out back for the rabbits and I find this!!! I wasn't even thinking something had gotten out there. Those 2 were my friendliest birds. They were so sweet!! I have a migraine coming on and I'm so stressed out. I have no idea which dog around here to hunt down, because there are so many running loose!! I'm just so sick to my stomach right now. Why the 2 that are the quietest?? They make zero noise!!!OMG, I feel like my brain is going to explode. I'm so **** mad right now!! I'm nnot even sure if any of my bigger birds that are usually loose in the yard are gone, but it looks like all are there and I've checked and no one is hurt. This is not a very good night for me.
 
 
 
 
I'm sitting here crying like a baby. I was going to get picks tomorrow and ask Walt to look at them, because I wanted to show them at the Stockton show. My head hurts so bad. I know they're just birds, but I carry both of them around almost every day! Especially Baby. She's always under foot and I have to carry her around and Ganache spent so much time inside until I build the coop of them. OMG!!! I'm so angry right now!
 
 
 
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't think to check the brooder on the patio!! Almost all of my chicks that were growing out are gone or dead!!!!!!!!!
 
 
 
 I took some Excedrine Migraine and went out back. I see several paw prints and different sizes
 
 
 No she saw the guineas. They're fine. You'd think they would have gone after those...They had to have made a lot of noise. Why the 2 that never make a sound?
 
 
Ya know, it's always my favorites as far as sweetness and always what I want to show or use for breeding. I'm cursed. I have 18" of wire all around those pens. Bricks too although not a lot of them and pallet wood. Whatever dug is a digging genius! Started almost where wire is buried and away from the wire that lays on top. Then pulled the wire up and apart to dig under the pen! WTH??? I see prints that look like a medium sized dog and then more prints, like smallest to tiny dogs. I haven't seen my neighbors yet today, but maybe they saw them. We have no less than 50 Chihuahuas in this neighborhood that runn around attacking people and other dogs. Some of them are hanging with some of the bigger dogs. The tunnel dug out, might be able to allow a medium dog in, but IDK. I think they worked in teams. There were so many dogs out barking and runniing the streets last night. I kept trying to watch and see which ones I thought might be the guilty parties. There's a wirey mutt and some chi mixes, some doxiexchi mixes and some others that I have no idea what they could be. There was 9 or 10 of them. They harass the neighbor's huge Pitt male. He's such a sweet dog and never barks until the other dogs run up on the fence and act stupid. This morning I had the pups out front and I knew some of the dogs were down the street, but they were quiet. All of a sudden I heard fighting. They were down the block, but it sounded much closer so I called the pups and grabbed one and the other was scared and I kept missing him. Isis and I were attacked Dec 8 last year and I don't want to go through that again trying to scoop up a pup, so I grabbed scruff and brought them in. I went out to see where the fight was and there were dogs running and bleeding. Not from my neighbor's dog, but there are 3 Lab mixes running around out there now. I swear it sounds like a loud pound scene in a movie. I called AC, but as usual, they are idiots! Sarah knows what I mean!
 
 
There's not a single feather in the pen. It's like they got them out and then killed them. This is just too much. I kee thinking about my little Baby and how every kid around would hold her because she was just so sweet.
 
 
These were all my comments to my post. I'm having a hard time going out back today. I've looked out, but Baby isn't running up to see me. It 's just killing me. I had a rabbit loose and it was fine. The bigger birds that were loose are fine, but between my 2 girls and chicks and 2 quail I lost 17 birds.

Omg I'm so sorry sweetie. I freak when I loose one chicken. I still talk about each I our favorite rooster .

Know Im late replying but I'm still giving hugs.

Thank you. Most that I lost were in a brooder, but they killed my 2 favorite bantams that I had intended to show this month. Every time I want to show something I lose them, so I was thinking about showing Lowrider, but now I just don't want to jinx him.

I'm surrounded by barking dogs on all sides so annoying.

 

[wolftracks]

These suckers run the streets. I have 2 big dogs who are learning to bark

Isis never used to bark, but she will now. Not like the 3 Beagles on one side or the dog on the other side, but they will bark. But there are at least a dozen dogs running the streets at any given time around here and you never know who owns them. There have been as many as 50 or more at one time out there. I found so many different sized tracks in my backyard after they killed my birds that I know some of the Chis and the mixes were back there. These little dogs will attack people using walkers, strollers being pushed down the stree, kids on bikes. They're aweful! Some of these dogs have pups and the owners keep whole litters and just let them run all the time. Now there are owners upset that their dogs are gone. Well keep those things under controll. Now I know where 3 of them live and I've seen the owners and they've seen what their dogs do out there. Not one of them has ever stoped even their own dogs. Now after watching how much fun it is to chase and kill chickens, I'm having to break my own dogs from chasing them. Dusty scared the heck out of the one pullet and there was a puncture on her comb, but she's fine now, but if I hadn't called her off, I have no idea if she would have killed it. I bet she would have and that's not gonna happen. Lately she tries to stay clear of them and not even look at them. They used to let the birds eat their dog food, but I don't want to even find out if that's changed too.
