dead duck, and chickens too



Sometimes it's difficult to be a dog owner. Especially one with chickens. For fifteen or more years, I've bred a back yard flock of layers. Yesterday it all went for naught. Our indoor dog got off her line outside while I was in the city and killed 19 birds. I've four layers and a muskovy duck left. So sad.





On a brighter note, I'm the proud owner of a California King snake.





I brought it home last night. I could never have imagined myself being a snake lover until recently. I was scared of snakes until I was forced to suck it up so my kids weren't raised with unfounded fears. Life is weird if you try. :P
