What is wrong with people?

I suspect that there are quite a few of those around in some parts! I would add that you should use only short words in your instruction note and write it in upper case, large font size and bold.

Sorry if it wasn't clear..traveling in June - sister and daughter in law taking care of chicks/ducks...2 dead - Traveling in July - boyfriend watching chickens...1 dead. This person has watched the animals since August, probably a total of 6 times over the past 2 months. All instructions are clearly posted and are in detail. I think he decided on his own that since he was familiar with my routine of letting the chickens out in the afternoons, locking dogs up, putting chickens in for the night, letting dogs out...that he could do it too. I always double check to make sure that ALL my chickens are back in the coop by walking around the entire area, looking in all their favorite places to dust and look for bugs, then I make a second head count to be sure.

If I were asked to take care of someone elses animals, I would make sure I didn't deviate from what I was told to do. Growing up, I was taught to always make sure that you leave things in the same condition or BETTER than what you found them.

He was well aware that my dogs would kill if given the opportunity. Like I said...people just don't care for your things like you do..

I could not agree more. I would leave detailed, step-by-step barney level instructions also and I would EXPECT them to be followed without deviation....I am so sorry you lost your girl but thankful the other 2 are safe.​
