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.

Ok I have to disagree (no offense) if the dog is acting sheepish then he did something wrong and he remembers it regardless on how much time has passed!
If the dog acts like he did something wrong you can usually tell by their demeanor... i.e. putting his head down when approached walking sideways licking his chops while holding his tail between his legs

Another offhand topic! Has anyone tried this if you haven't you have too! When making macaroni and cheese omit the milk and butter for sour cream! Sound gross but man is it good!!!

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.

The dog in question in your post you described as a SHE and in female dogs I agree... Their bread in packs to be the peace keepers primarily! But in that post the dog in question was described as a HE! In dogs as well as people different genders think different ways... A male is more of a brute and takes a firmer (not mean) hand then a female dog would!

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.

I understand the point you are making and agree to a certain point. Killing people in the name of anything is wrong no matter the year it happened. I am just not a turn the other cheek kind of person though and I do judge killers and liars. It is not a scale that man has in his life to balance good and bad. One side being weighed down by good deeds while the less heavy side has just one death. I think comparing me to the Pharisees is a little harsh considering I did not name any one individual. My intended thought above was for people that are killers and believe that o.k. for whatever propaganda is happening at that time. I will not celebrate lies and death. Period.

Maybe we leave this as bygones

ok

Thanks everyone for the dog and rooster advice. I have decided not to feed him today and keep him separate. He knows he is in trouble and that he can not be around everyone else and that is devastating for him.

I agree that different dogs act different ways but if you have been around dogs and understood them like you say you do then you have to also agree that when your relating a female to a male the thinking and actions are as different as apple and oranges and as you cannot judge an apple for turning red you cannot expect a female to act like a male... Unless their transgender! Lmao
