***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[okracefan]

Ok Peeps, I need some help here. Got home from a wedding tonight and my neighbors dog was in the pen eating dinner, He got all my birds by digging under. I am thinking about burying metal lath and putting it around the pen. The lathe comes in sheets of 2x8 so i was thinking about folding it, nailing one side to the pen and burying the other half.

I cannot dispose of these dogs because they belong to the guy who is financing my land, need to keep peace with him. I have been told that the neighbors have shot at them for chasing there horses.

Any ideas on what to do?

The dogs will find a way in no matter what. I had one destroy a large, sturdy cage.

They are still discussing that dirty four letter word on tv tonight. I am so not looking forward to snow.

What we're going to do is run 3 or 4 strands of hot wire around the pens in the back yard. Most are stockade but (like what happened to you) I don't trust animals not to dig under. If the hot wire strands are close enough together it'll keep raccoons, etc out along with dogs. Hot wire is super cheap and goes a long way.
Does the guy realize it's illegal for his dogs to kill livestock?? Are you going to say something to him about your birds?

Your idea for protectng the perimeter of the pen should work. Sorry to hear about your losses.

Good morning everyone. I'm a little happier with today's weather forecast. The chance for snow in my area is still the same, but the amount is way less. That makes it more tolerable.

How is everyone doing this morning?
