After having a dog take my sweetest rooster, I made the decision to rehome all of my chickens except for the little roo in my avatar and 2 others. But! They went to a family member’s house and will be very much well cared for. They can free range with no stupid dogs to terrorize them. Plus, I can see them anytime I want. My heart was so shattered over the attack and I never want to go through that again.

That’s horrible. I’m so sorry for you. I lost my beautiful golden maran hen “honey” last year to a fox at 8 in the morning with a house full of kids. I cried, we buried her, and moved all the hens to their run full time for their protection.

I have never liked Valentines Day. First you have to give Valentines cards to all your class mates even the ones who are jerks. Later giving and getting cards is fraught with sense of obligation. If I want to show someone I love them, I do it every day except Valentine's Day.

You sound like my husband!

Someone asked about my picture. Or is an avatar? So technical, me. He is not a mini but a pony who is, especially with his winter coat and lack of riding, almost as round as he is tall. I couldn't resist buying him this rain sheet with ducks and daisies.
My dream would be to become a retirement home for mini horses, cats, dogs, ducks, .... basically anything with 2 to 4 legs. Haven't won a lottery yet so still just a dream.

We’ve had neighbor dogs get in and terrorize our birds. Even lost 2. I wish some people would control their dogs.

That’s awful. I wish people would control their dogs too.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It is so difficult losing one.

I’m sorry that you lost one of yours too. Luckily that neighbor moved away and took the dog with them.

Sorry about your birds, I am always worried when the neighbor's dog escapes.

Rained all day here. Waiting for a sunny day to do some photography.

Are you able to report the loose dog to any authorities? No reason any dog should be uncontrolled. Did the owners at least apologize and maybe offer some compensation?
