Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

Good grief. You're killing me. Get rid of him already.

I don't actually know how to off him. Like I've whacked one on a pole before to snap its neck when it was clearly dying. And then there was the time I thought a bird died (I'd shot a raccoon under the cage, and it keeled over, and I thought it had a heart attack), and I tossed it on a fire. It wasn't dead. It's death scream was unpleasant.

I messaged a friend and asked him if he wanted it. The bird only hates me, so it should be fine there. I think I was so shocked when he did it, I was too surprised to do anything. He's always been a prick, but he's never drawn blood. I've punted him across the yard, and the time he flew at my face off the roost, I thought I broke his legs when I caught him in mid-air and threw him. I've never seen an animal more difficult to kill. lol

I heard one fly by me the other day outside at work and was all

until I realized what it was.

You don't have an ax, machete, hatchet, anything like that? That's my preferred method because it's so final and simple.

Here's hoping, lol

I've decided that sometimes the most unpleasant animals are also the most hardy. It's like they keep on living just to spite us.

They sound scary. They're super loud when they fly. I always think they're a wasp initially.

Great minds think alike?

We use branch cutters

Oh, he said he'd take him. Just not sure when he'd be out to get him.

I do. But then there's like a whole thing I have to do. I can't just put it in the cage with him and come back and him be dead. I have to actually chop him. And that means I have to hold him still. But then I won't have the range of motion to give him the best Judy chop.

Yes, their hatred fuels them.

YES!!! That's exactly what I thought was happening. A huge wasp was coming to get me.

That's the spaniel you posted before? And would he want to play with one or eat it?

Cooper is all about playing/chasing.
He wouldn't hurt a fly but he'd sure as hell chase it
I leave him out with the chickens and as long as one doesn't run, he just walks around with them.

So did the stinker

. It wasn't dead

Sorry Colt. That must've really sucked

I mean, I think it was dying and wouldn't have recovered. But it would have been nice if it had been expired at the time of cremation.
