We were doing feeding this morning. Freaking idiot neighbors up the hill go out which means their dogs are loose and roaming looking for food. I feed the poultry and the sheep at the other end of the property. I fed the cats on the way out to feed the birds and sheep.
Boys have hogs, rabbits and dogs. I am heading back to check the boys' work and they come running up to tell me that Bruno (the sob dog that gets aggressive with me and the boys) Chased the cats off their food and is eating it.
I go running over to the cat feeding area and tell the dog to scram. I yelled it. Most dogs would runoff towards home. Not this POS. He growls and bared his teeth at me as he starts towards me. I pull out my gun and he continued to charge me. I fired a round into the ground about 5 or 6 feet in front of him. He tore off back up the hill to his place.
This dog has killed three of the chickens that have lived in the open area of my property for over a year. These birds survived coyotes, raccoons, opossums, skunks, hawks, etc... for over a year with no shelter but under the front deck or hiding in the tarped hay bales on the trailer.
I have been up since 2 am because of the wind storm trying to rip the roof off this place. So I am not in the best mood to deal with the idiot neighbors dog or the fact they are not feeding either dog that they have. I shouldn't have to feed extra to my critters cause their critters are gonna come here and eat my critters' food.
