dogs and ducks
Heres the last story before bedtime.....just me making a idiot of myself.... We had just moved into this house, been here about a week. We had this bad bad dog, hound that liked to chase and kill anything smaller than himself. We hadnt met the neighbours across the highway yet but they always had these cute little ducks running around loose, so peaceful and idyllic out here in the country. Well, I forgot to put Duke back on his chain one day, heard a commotion out in the side yard, squacking and barking. Looked out to see Duke scattering ducks and chickens in a flurry of feathers....watch him take off after the ducks who are fleeing for their lives to home....I run out, by the time I get over to the neighbours yard, the carnage is just horrible!!! Im standing there, crying and waving my hands (Im part French! lol) and gibbering to the neighbour about how sorry I am, and trying to get the dog from eating the remains....Im bawling away, drag him back home....and looked down to find I still have my oven mitts on. I met our neighbour for the first time, a blubbering idiot waving my hands around with oven mitts on while my dog killed his ducks in his front yard!!!!! ROTFLOL..... Brenda
That is true, although the ducks the neighbour had were never penned up and were allowed to roam the neighbourhood and were in our yard when the brouhaha started. He ended up penning them up as we were finding them on the highway a lot.... We ended up giving the dog to a farmer with many many acres and no livestock, I had never liked the dog to begin with (my husbands idea to get him) and after that incident it was the last straw....same issue as yours, we had small children at the time.....

We werent city people, we had moved from one farm area to another and our dog was always chained except when we let him off to exercise, this was a forgetfullness on my part to put him back on..... Actually since the neighbour let his birds roam free, we would find a few on the side of the highway dead weekly anyways. He eventually started penning them up, which was somewhat of a shame since its "cute" to see them running around but I dont really miss the guinea hens screaming under my windows early in the morning!
