I finally got a predator! He's a big, un-neutered pit bull (mix?). He came down the street this morning, and started to do what every stray does...sniffs around the front of each house, then goes around back. Problem is, when dogs get around the back of my property they see my animals and go into a frenzy. I'm positive this is the same dog I saved my little white rooster from a few months back. In retrospect it was stupid to approach him, because he's very wary/skiddish, but I'm on my way out of town for the weekend, and I couldn't leave him roaming - knowing my feathered friends were in danger! Animal control is on the way. I'm praying the rope holds.
