I am sorry for your loss.

However I am still a big advocate for having the men go out and "mark" your territory. Just give him a big pot of coffee in the evening and lock the bathroom door. When he complains he has to go, tell him to go out back and whiz on all the spots you've spray painted and X on.

Animals have a good sense of smell and can smell you from far away.

Or you could just shoot them and that works too, but then you've got to see them to shoot them.

I've heard that before, but not sure if it really works. If it will keep coons and the like out of a coop, I'll tell DH to go out there and mark all of em. LOL. He won't mind!

sorry for your loss. I had something come in through the roof on my (not yet complete) pheasant pens and try to run off with one of my goldens. Fortunately, it only got a few feathers. DS and I buttoned down the pens today so everyone is safe and sound.

The men in my family are gonna love this one! Maybe it will keep that little skunk out of our yard. Chickens in old coop locked in all day except for their "free time rangeing" this morning. Good thing too. Just got back from work and it's dark out.

See what I mean, Rancher? We need you for all this commen sense, down to earth stuff!

Now to check on my coffee supply and Depends.....

Goodnight all.

Went out last night and bought a big can of coffee (lite = 50% less caffeine because I drink way too much and my ears ring when I've overdone it

) , Toilet paper (kinda like stage 1 Depends

) and ice cream for the apple pie I planned on making. Then the storm was a wonderful bust, only a couple of inches and they are melting! Yeah! That's my kinda snow storm.

my Sumatra's don't care about the snow. They are out and about doing whatever it is they do

. Now my RIR's on the other hand. They won't leave the coop. The ducks, who are usually scared of everything seem to like the snow. The sun is out, and that 10 inches of snow is quickly getting shorter.

Yeah, my buckeyes are stomping down their own path...good thing. 18 inches in Lenox Ma, where I work. Work offered me a room to stay . I took it. Hubby at home and took care of animals. Didn't sleep well, but roads were clear this AM!
