"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

If it's on your property, hurting, stalking, even giving the stink eye to your stock, it can be killed. Pet or not. As a pet of a dog or a cat it is the dog or cat owners responsibility. Period. Lack of responsibility results in a dead pet. If a dog is on your property the dog owners failed. Period.
Here in the city even cats have a set of rules. Only allowed loose outdoors under supervision hahaha ya right.
Pet owners making ignorant comments shouldn't have pets or should consistently be dragged into court until they realize the responsibility. Strays or pets loose here have a bullet or an arrow awaiting them.

Any dog not accustomed to chickens would likely chase/kill one. Smaller dogs find it more FUN because its a big ticket prey item for their littleness.
Everything loves chicken. Everything. And not always in the cuddly way!

If it's true they shot the dog on the dog owners property and no immediate threat was taking place the shooter will face charges -trespassing, animal cruelty, other animal charges if dog was restrained-dog owner could have them jailed for weapons threat on his property if they were in fear or trying to stop shooting (attacking a human is the only thing in court that will hold up unless the dog returned to its property with livestock while attacking, proof, lotsa proof needed)
Possible it happened after an attack tho.
Sounds unlikely they'd just go over and shoot a dog but, Anger from the flock owner? Previous incidents or a feud? Who knows but I had a flock wiped out and was ready to kill attacker even afterwards (i have better sense than that tho as do most)

You are right on point with your info, Angel. Can't go back and shoot a dog on its own property that is no longer trespassing or being a threat. Only option at that point is calling authorities.

Kuntry, for after brooding?

Really works, used it with my extra ones before our freeze, still have some left and works good on the coop nest box too.

Awesome at garden harvest time and storing seeds.

April fools is coming, who wants to play?

Because we can never have enough glitter with a 5 year old princess around!

Stalking my lap ...

Tractor supply PULLET chicks are starting to ROO up! ug looks like 2 of Broody henBlues chicks are roos! I wonder if I can return them lol I bought "pullets and paid .50 more for sexed chicks butt heads. Like I need more roos. It's sorta embarrassing as a store that's all about farms to not know *# &%! About what they sell (live or on a shelf)

On a humorous note...

Love all of the pics. Especially the after brooding CELEBRATION STATION !!!!!!! It could also double for after Processing.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo, it looks like I will be bottle feeding 2 lamb. The one that was born day after yesterday has just been walking around and I have not noticed it trying to suck on the mom. I can't say that the mom is rejecting it because she's not. The baby for some reason was not trying to find the mom to suck. That was a red flag for me. So, I commenced to making it a bottle and persuaded it to suck yesterday. It took a few minutes for it to catch on but once it lock on to the bottle nipple it sucked it all. 9 ounces gone gone gone. The mom fussed and complained but oh well. When I went out this morning and he heard my voice, he started crying and came running to eat. :/ I surely wasn't expecting to have to bottle feed any babies this year. Oh well. :/

I think you should be there when the hospice nurse comes. He could be getting a lot more services. I have been through this a few times where they pass at home. Once he is bed ridden all the way he will have more pain and they will give meds to take care of it. When they start morphine he will need someone there if he has strength he may dream he is doing something and try to get up and do it . If he has no strength he will probably stay in bed in a dream like state. May call out etc. they hospice wants to keep him comfortable , sometimes they get restless when they give morphine. So if he takes it without any thing like I've described he will probably pass fast. You know him the best you can tell when he is ready to pass. The last day I sat with my grandpa he was very hot. I would take a cool rag and put it on his forehead . He would settle down. My grand mother asked why I was doing that, because she didn't think he knew or was having any feelings. I told her it settled him down and it didn't bother me if he knew or not. So that last day I told him how much I loved him and that it was O K for him to leave. They lived in N O. When I got home they called and said he had passed shortly after I left. So even tho he was in a coma like state I feel he heard me and knew it was time to go. I hope this helps you. He went peacefully no round the clock nurse. He did have a hospital bed and hospice. If he winds up needing the hospice house you should feel good about everything you've done to help your friend. Y'all are in my prayers.

You are "good people".

And loosening bottle caps is a blessing. My soul smiles at the little things.
Strength for seemingly simple tasks just isn't there and most don't realize that. Hang in there. It only gets harder.
My aunt died of cancer at home at 37. It's so hard for the living to cope, when we were sad or at a loss as to what to do for her during certain times of day that she would struggle so hard live, she would tell us to just "Hold On
Pain Ends"...(H.O.P.E.)
"How are you holding up?" She would ask us. Really?! We would hug and giggle, but she was serious. She would tell us to help her kids after she goes because death was welcomed by her and would bear the most pain on the living.
(

she was suffering a long time and had come to terms well before any of us did then)

So hang in there. I know its heartbreaking and mind opening and can be very overwhelming but you're awesome for taking on the task and giving so much love when one needs it the most.

(Don't hurt me)...You are "good people" too.

Exactly, I was with my sister when she passed with cancer. She had been hanging on and her daughter Renee stayed with her constantly. I sent her home to rest and talked to Helen (coma) I told her it was ok Renee is gone now and you can go. She died 10 min later. I have had the privilege to be present alone with Helen and both Mama and Daddy when they passed. It's really a serene feeling that you accomplished something helping them.

TGIF! it poured down rain all night but it's WARM rain so it's OK!
I was up at 3 a.m. letting dogs out (in the rain) - 8 muddy feet to wipe (cleaned out rock garden & need to get pea gravel - right now it's big rocks and mud).
And again at 4 a.m. And at 5 a.m. the cat let out a squall & hacked up a big hairball on the living rug.

The laundry fairies & the kitchen gnomes did not show up to do their jobs. Can't depend on the little suckers for anything!

I'm going to get through this long (long long) day & go home & fry catfish!

Sorry, but better your house than mine with the dogs, mud and hairballs!

Those dang laundry fairies and kitchen gnomes didn't show up here either...little turds!!

Send some of that fried catfish over here! Sounds delicious!!
Stay out of trouble today...

I know about horses, but not lambs. Is it common for lambs to have this "problem", or are you just extra lucky?
