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.

Sorry camping. It's very frustrating, but good on you for trying to keep the peace. Hopefully the neighbor will get the message from your DH. Hope the pullet gets better. Astrolorps are great layers... Spike is my best gal!

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

Smart dog.

Smart dog.

She is really smart. I think she’s a bull terrier/lab/heeler. Maybe not lab, but she has that thick oily coat like they do.

This is the dog. She showed up in July, still in milk and with a big ole baby. He went home with the Girl Scouts leader.

I miss my little lorp. Such a sweetie. My lorp laddie isn’t as sweet. But still so handsome

Camping it’s a shame about your birds. That ain’t right.

Anyone heard of borlotti bean soup? They had two big cans at Costco. I bought them. All this talk about beans made me go heat up a can. Pretty good for bean soup but I don’t understand what is so special about .

 

[Granny Hatchet]

theres a difference between bean soup and soup beans.

I love them.

I just found a cigarette next to my chair . I must of been smoking when I fell asleep. Made a small burn in the carpet .
