Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Maybe I should buy one of those dresses and wear it around the house and yard. Who’s gonna complain about it anyway?

I’m going to wait and see. I don’t even know her name. I think she told me her first name once and I can’t remember. Farmer gave me a “it’s something like” response so I don’t think he knows her that well? But if she comes back, I’m going to take a picture of her license plate and the dogs and report her along with the picture of my dead birds.

Okay, that’s a plan, but here’s an action you could take now: contact the dog control person and explain what’s been happening. Explain that the dog walker was there for the first incident (it wasn’t a dog getting loose and killing something a mile away), and yet came back again, and it happened again. Ask for advice and help in managing the situation.

These tragedies are clearly not what the community wants if there are leash laws, and establishing contact with the dog officer demonstrates your credibility and fair-mindedness.

Note to you - you understand it’s not their intent, but the dog walker - AND the farmer who is allowing the activity on his land - have been negligent and as a result have inflicted a great deal of sorrow on your household.

Except…we have a farm dog who isn’t leashed. Who sometimes strays, but usually just to run to the neighbors and hang with their dog. Sometimes to chase coyotes. So there’s that. Don’t exactly want to draw attention to our dog if we can help it. I’m hoping my rant to this lady yesterday made her wise up. But if she comes back I want to report it. Because if she does come back, I know she just does NOT care. She did switch to leashes after the first deaths (she was walking two huskies in farmland, by farms, with one being an untrained young rescue who was not under voice control), but there was an event before that where the dog got a chicken but did not kill it and it recovered. She “apologized” but continued to walk her dogs. After the deaths she disappeared for awhile but eventually returned using leashes.

There are so many places she could go, including dog parks.

I’m just not set yet on reporting. I appreciate the pov and suggestion though.

Stihl is good I have a Stihl FS 130 and it works great, it was discontinued though, but its never been much issue.
my local ace hardware doesnt have them, but a local non chain farm store is a stihl dealer, as well as an old machine shop too.
just last month I took the ancient machine to them cuz the primer bubble broke and compression was too heavy from sitting so long now it works wonders again
I did a whole 1/4 mile fence row with one (I do not recommend)
I did that cuz one of my neighbors is too old to do it himself, but he put in an electric fence without taking out the whole old field mesh fence, so it cant just be mowed with a tractor

Remember, J. Edgar Hoover wore a dress. He’s FBI. So I see no problem with a US Marshal in a sun dress! “just say yes to the dress!”
