You running to get your pistol was one of the things DH found funniest. I guess because I'm a holler & throw rocks kinda gal....

LOL my son and I are both competitive shooters, rocks be darned, if I've got a gun, it's toast! It's a joke in my family, if the pistol or rifle is in my right hand I'm going to scare you, if it's in my left you're in trouble!

LOL!
Don't like guns, so we don't have one. Know how to shoot one, care for one, and have taught the kids the same (classes). But after the knowledge and safety portion was taken care of I haven't picked one up since. Rocks, sticks and have kicked my share of troublesome dogs square in the snout. Living in TN, we grow more rocks than maters in the garden

I guess I'm scary enough bare handed, though. A coyote I saw a few months ago ran like a scalded dog when I hollered at it, and a friend said she felt sorry for any coyote that got between me & my chickens

I'm not a gun person. But in TN we grow more rocks in the garden than maters

I know how to shoot and care for a gun, I just choose not to. Made sure the kids had the same lessons. I'm pretty mean with a stick or a rock, and have kicked more than one mean dog square in the snout.

I guess I'm pretty scary empty-handed, though. A coyote took one look at me and ran a few months ago. A friend later said she felt sorry for any coyote that got between me and my chickens....

Family dinner Wednesday night, so I'll be able to share this story with the kids, too. I'm already ready for soccer season to be over. I miss family dinners!!!

Don't worry, we don't just shoot at anything that moves. But if it comes down to my chickens or a coyote or skunk, it's the chickens. Or my ducks, or cat, etc. I highly value life, but I won't spare one life at the cost of 10 others. I prefer to scare them away, but sometimes they don't scare and even if they do, they come right back.

Ah... but you have Nugget. Who needs a gun?

I have told this story to a number a of people and without fail I have to stop after saying "And the first rooster fainted flat out!". It takes a minute for the listeners to catch their breath after laughing their heinies off! I'm still laughing myownself!

Hmmm I've been chasing Nugget around with my cell phone trying to record him making his dinosaur sound. He'll do it in response to LaRoo when he crows, but if he sees me he won't do it!

Ok,, I'll have to post another funny story that happened to me a couple of years ago in my front yard that involved me, two Great Pyrenees and my bunny slippers.

Bonus story:

I have a lot of animals, I love them, they love me, but sometimes nature takes over and I end up the butt of a great doggie joke.

About 3 Winters ago, before I lost JoJo my femal Great Pyrenees, I was sitting in the living room close to midnight and realized I hadn't locked my truck.
This particular truck didn't have the handy dandy clicker you could point at it and lock and set the alarm, you had to do it manually. I figured it was close to midnight, it was cold, but I had to do it. So I grabbed my nice long fluffy robe and put on my nice warm fluffy BUNNY slippers my son had just given me for Christmas.
At this time I had no chickens or ducks, the only animals in the front yard were my two Great Pyrenees, JoJo and her son Mozart. They didn't pay a lot of attention to me on the way to the truck, but on the way back I was cold and I have a huge yard, I was about 200 or more feet from the front door and I decided to run for it.
As I ran my robe flapped up and the Pyrs saw the running bunnies,,, I never saw them coming. They came flying up behind me and each one of them grabbed a bunny and kept going. My robe was above my head with my nightie as I was dragged at a very fast clip across the yard. The yard that was now dry, brown grass?
The drug me around for what seemed forever, I couldn't get my feet out of the slippers because they were being held too tight, I was getting grass-rash on my fanny, and I couldn't get my robe or nightie down.
I finally got dropped because the dogs attention was grabbed by something else. A local SO car by my front fence and two laughing deputies. They knew me and saw me running back from the truck and were going to be funny and spot-light me, instead their dash-cam caught my humiliation.
They did rescue me though, and helped me get back to my porch in my dripping wet slippers, one which had no ears left.
I've never quite lived that one down in this County.
