Sarah’s dog got another bird, my australorp pullet. I told DH that the next time I see that dog outside in my yard I’m going to SSS. So he went and talked to her this time.

He reminded me that Josie killed chickens. Yes, I am aware. But I didn’t keep leaving her unattended in the yard. I actively blocked holes as she dug them, too her to the farm to train, worked with her on commands, and walloped her with dead birds. Sarah keeps leaving her dog outside because “she doesn’t want to come in.” Too bad, she’s a dog and shouldn’t get to make that decision. If my dog was killing my neighbor/friend/boss’s pets/livestock/moneypits, sure as shooting I’d have my dog under house arrest. Sarah has oral surgery last week and I know she doesn’t feel great, but she could always have asked us to just dog sit awhile.

The pullet doesn’t look good. Eyes closed and opening her beak in that gasping way. No feathers at all on her back. There are tears in her skin, but none of that looks bad. There’s a pretty deep puncture at the base of her neck. I put her in the dark bathroom with the heat on. If she’s alive in an hour, I’ll go clean her up a bit.

I think at this point she needs to pay the price for adult birds as replacement (I’d look online for a price from a hatchery) and a report needs to be made.
IF a neighbors dog came into MY yard and killed anything (even a nasty roo) I’d kill it. The dog shouldn’t be there and be unsupervised. And that would be the end of that dog. The fact that this has happened multiple times and you’ve lost animals isn’t ok. This Sarah doesn’t seem to care. Something other than words needs to be done. Maybe the dog needs to take a trip next time it visits.
I’m mad for you. You’ve lost how many birds because of this dog?

$110!? For 1 bird? Think that would change her mind?

The problem is being friends. Also I know how much she makes. Also I think she’s depressed and not paying attention to things like she should/usually does.

I’m going to ask her to pay for a chick order, I think. Maybe bantams, or guineas. I’ll decide that closer to spring.

The pullet looks a bit better... she’s sitting up and not panting. Going to see if DH will run back to town for saline cleanser and triple antibiotic. All I have is iodides tincture.

How does the dog get them? My flipping birds keep roosting way up high and then fly down into the dog yard. If my dogs could get into the chicken I would have to put an$ end to that.

good afternoon I guess. Slept in till about 9:30 or so. Got one roaster full of beans baking in the oven, second 4 lbs of beans soaking in water and baking soda for round 2 tomorrow. Had to educate the new weekly on how to use the shower and run the dial on the wall called a thermostat OMG I swear to GOD some people need keepers. AND his wife was just as bad.

Then Sheila called and talked and talked and talked and talked FINALLY got her off the phone.

Had to clean the stove up as OF course the beans had to boil over.
EVERY flipping time. doesn't matter how close you watch them as soon as I turn my back it (pot) states impersonating Mount Etna and the eruptions will now commence.

Are you making baked beans?

Friend or no friend , chicken killing is not acceptable.

That sounds like something Granny could manage in the torture chamber.

Yes, somehow. Not sure if she’s going under or hopping it.
