On Thursday I get a call from my Daughter.
"Dad - we caught a dog in the yard & we're gonna keep it"
WHAT?
"Yup - there was this little puppy & it attached one of my hens. We scared it off & of course the hen had given up all hope & was just laying there"
OK - I say
"well - we took the hen to the coop & there was the dog sitting inside the coop waiting. So we caught it & we're gonna keep it".
Apparently I dont have a say in this.
Turns out - the "puppy" weighs in at 4lbs
Also turns out the "puppy" is about 2 years old as best the vet can tell.
Finally - It turns out the "puppy" is pregnant!
I need to post some pics - maybe later this week.
This little thing was starving to death & decided that one of my 7lb hens would be just the morsal needed to make it another week.
The dog is a sweet as can be though -she loves the kids & follows us around everywhere.
We checked with the neighbors & they didn't lose her - but had been trying to catch her for a couple of days.
I can't imagine the size of a 4lb dogs puppies. I need to keep the hens away from them or the tables may be turned!
