ugh, that's like a nightmare for him. How terrible. I can still remember #1 when he was little, crying when we put his shoes on... checked a million times, not too tight, if anything too big. Turns out it was the socks. Had to turn them inside out to keep the seams from hurting him. Also got good at avoiding shirts with scratchy tags. tag tag tag! one of the first clear words he spoke, while grabbing frantically at the back of his neck. It does make you cry as a parent because it's so extreme and you feel so helpless. But you did good there mom!
Happy St Patrick's Day!
That is a leprechaun catcher.

One of Pancake's eggs was dead, never even internally pipped. Yolk was absorbed, though. The fourth one is internally pipped. Not sure why it's so far behind the others. Pancake is itching to get her babies off the nest, but she reluctantly settled back in. Trying to get that baby hatched before I set them up with food and water.
Also the dogs killed a banty rooster.He's in pieces in the yard. Guess I've got to hang it on Jasper's neck, now.
I can't do that. I figure it's my fault. My dogs have a very strong prey drive.
Option #1 Rehome the dog(s)
Option #2 Rehome the chickens
Option #3 Modify fence so chickens and/or dogs can't get under it anywhere.
Option #4 Train the dogs to leave the chickens alone, by whatever means necessary
We're at #4.
Rotting carcass constantly under the nose has cured more than one dog of killing....best of luck
DH is ready to skip straight to the shock collar. I'm not there, so we have to get on the same page first.
I would use a shock collar but I know they say it works. I just couldn't stomach a dog with a rotting carcass around its neck. Some dogs just aren't farm dogs.

He wasnt fevered this day. I didnt ask him how he felt because he was too freaked by the ant. (you know what thats like ? ) Robert socks same thing . He ended up barefoot for the most part. And the shirt tags, Do you remember when Hanes came with the tagless ? Was a God send. No matter how short you cut them he could still feel it. Wasnt just the tag we cut, I had to unravel strand by strand til the part under the thread was gone too.

hahahaa so cute
I remember fighting my mom about socks. K or 1st grade. She made me wear that slippy nylon kind with the big ruffles. Shoes would eat them and I'd sit down and cry because my "socks had twitches." I think I went a couple years with no socks under my shoes.
Happy St Patrick's Day!

Did she catch any? Or see any sign of them at school?
