oh man NP ~ I just saw this! (((hugs))) I am so sorry for your loss!! I think you are taking it all very responsibly! This too shall pass ~ I'm right there with you on the ~at least they ate the chickens~ instead of leaving bloody carnage & waste all over. I hate the waste as well.
Here's hoping your remaining chickens make it through ~ And your poodles do too, lol.
I used to have a beautiful white standard, but he was so miserable in our little in-town yard, we finally gave him to a family that lived out in the country, and he loves it so there. Poodles are very intelligent dogs... you'll likely have to keep a very close eye on them from here on out, especially since they know where & how to find that lovely fast food chicken now. They'll file that nice tidbit of info away for future use, when you aren't looking ( they ARE crafty that way, lol).
I once had 5 trays of chocolates sitting on the counter... it was 2 am, I had stayed up all night, getting orders ready, and decided to run something up stairs ~ that darn stinker KNEW I had goodies up there, and decided to investigate. In the literally 2.5 minutes it took me to run up & put away the towels, & run back down, he had gobbled up nearly EVERY chocolate on the trays, ( & these are the really big trays!, over 300 pieces!!), paper, foil, plastic wrappers, & all ~
All I could do was sit down & cry!! I was so mad at myself, & the darn dog...mostly at myself, then at the dog again, lol ~ finally, I just had to get back up, and make some more..... what else was there left to do? And he never did get sick. Gut of iron, that dog had. Little turd. ;-D
