Banish him from your pack for the day! Put him in a pen that he can see you but not get close some place he's not used to being in that way away from his territory! And ignore him if he starts yelping and going nuts go spit in his mouth!

Spit in his mouth? lol that's a new one

Hello CatKai, I have been day dreaming about your beautiful chickens. When are you selling some chicks?

Also, someone mentioned a trick their grandma used was to put an egg out with a fishing hook in it attached to fishing line.

Shhhhhh you will get me in trouble again....

Dogs HATE this! It's a show of dominance! So is the banishment it's a reinforcement of you are head dog and as the leader your rules go! Also I would suggest making him do a trick to get his food and putting a time limit on eating time for now on! You have to be the boss! The truck can be as simple as getting him to sit, it's just a way to tell him in dog language that as the leader you have control of his food, and when or if he eats and if he don't follow your rules he won't be eating! I have a LGD that's a leopard cur... Their very headstrong and dominate... This is the only way we could get him to understand the chickens aren't on his menu!

I do not think it is about anyone hating any certain religious group or country. That part of it is the old divide and conquer trick that has been used forever and always works well, because people like to identify themselves with traditions and have a hard time seeing past emotional and mechanical responses. What it is really about is the independent nations that have their own resources that are independent of the worlds banking cartel and the United States Military Industrial Complex. It is about greed and control and it always has been. When the U.S. gives aid that is another nice word for bribe and blackmail. Sometimes it is just a P.R. stunt. The people themselves very rarely ever see a penny of that "Aid", while there childrens schools are being bombed by U.S. drones searching for that elusive terrorist that hides in secret caves.

While I am at it.......... I just want to say one thing about when people start talking about this once great nation and what it is founded on........... is that before or after the Indians were slaughtered and their land was taken? I think that is a concept that keeps people in line. Mmmmmm.......... makes me hungry for Thanksgiving turkey. All of history is interwoven with so many lies that it really is hard for people to get a real handle on the horror of it all. History is always written by the winners and they don't always play nice.

Ok I am done now. I can not even see the bottom of my soap box anymore. Can someone please bring me a latter.

The problem with judging the past is that people always look at it through the prism of the present. In other words, we judge things that happened in the past based on our understanding today and not their understanding back then. In order to truly understand the past you must understand how the people of the past thought, believed and understood at the time in history you want to judge. You cannot judge the actions of people in history by your understanding of things or your personal beliefs today.

Another problem with judging the great achievements of the past, is that people wrongly expect the people that made these great achievements to be perfect people without any flaws, and if they find a character flaw in any indevidual, they believe this is cause to degrade the greatness of their achievement. Instead of looking at the intent of their life and what they hoped to achieve, they are judged by the personal weaknesses or isolated mistakes they made throughout their life.

In this regard, if we view history in this manner, then we are no different then the Jewish Pharisees of biblical New Testament times. Who, if they could find a single character flaw in person, would use that flaw to invalidate everything that person said, wrote or achieved, regardless of the correctness or authenticity of that person's statements or the greatness of their achievement. In the New Testament, there is the book of Hebrews, which nobody had any idea who wrote. The reason no one knows who wrote it is because the author intentionally hid who they were, so that the Pharisees would have to judge what they wrote by the validity of their statements alone. Who ever it was that wrote the book of Hebrews knew that if they, the Jewish Pharisees, disagreed with what they wrote, they would seek to invalidate it, not by trying to make an intellectual argument against it, but by attacking the character of the writer.

So when judging the history of this great nation; please do not be like those Pharisees. Do not expect the founders to live by a belief system or an understanding of the world that did not exist in their day and/or culture. Do not expect them to be people without faults or that never once made a mistake. Judge them for who they were in their time and for what they knew and understood in their days, not your day. Most importantly, judge them for what the intentions of their hearts were and what they achieved, in spite of their weaknesses and mistakes.

Alright now some chicken talk. My dog ate my sultan rooster last night. My dog disappeared last night for two hours and he never ever is more than a few feet away from me. He showed back up and this morning the roo was gone. Is it to late to punish him and how would I do it to be effective?

Why do you think your dog ate your rooster?

If the bird is gone, I would think it more likely something like a fox or coyote or some other predator got your rooster. Dogs tend to just kill the animal and not eat it.

Even if it was your dog, it is too late. Too much time has passed and there is no connection to chasing an killing a chicken and whatever you intended to do to the dog.

Your dog might have disappeared for a couple of hours because he was investigating the predator that was in your yard.

Use real butter. It naturally helps keep things from sticking. And use plenty of it.
