Heloise-RIP

I know that their "just" chickens and anything considered "livestock" a person should never get attached to. But that is not who I am and my ladies have unique personalities just like any other animal. So today, when I went for lunch, I first gave the ladies some kitchen scraps. Heloise was always the most enthusiastic about treats. I went in to eat my lunch, came back out to work some more and Rufus, who is the sweetest Lab/Shepard dog. He's my son's Max's dog. He had killed Heloise.

The normally mild mannered Rufus.

We will have to watch Rufus much closer and totally enclose the outside run. I need to remember that I have the ladies for fresh eggs and manure and not get so attached to them because this happen often to chickens. Well that will be the day, when I don't get attached to an animal.

Tried to think of the saddest song to go with this post. Anyone my age or older remembers this old Corny song called Shannon. Yes, I am that sentimental.
