So sorry 2J. Hopefully your chickens too, can meet you at the rainbow bridge.
When you've had some time to recover from all this shock, are you going to go get a few more pet chicks to raise?
Have you had any contact with the owner of the dog?
I don't think we'll get more...not till we get that bit of land. Then we'll do it up right, electric fencing and such.
My neighbor (the one that lives between us and the house the dog came from) said that the dog had been giving him problems too...digging under the fence in to his yard and tearing up his yard. Come to find out the owner of the dog lived in an apartment complex and the complex made her get the dog out because it was causing havoc. So her sister was who it was staying with. Now that sister has been ticketed and will have to pay a fine, get all it's shots and register it with the city before she can get it back. Will cost her a fortune. If she does these things, I'll be content (if she keeps it contained) and perhaps she'll take being this dog's owner seriously.
It is a gorgeous dog...pale grey German Shepherd...five months old. But it acted wild as a coyote.
My neighbor said he was sure sorry about the chickens...said "Those chickens never bothered anybody!" He said he was glad the dog was gone.
It's a shame...but a dog like that needs a firm alpha owner or it will dominate. So many otherwise fine dogs have been ruined because of bad owners.
