I was lucky this time. I was in the barn when the morons next door let the dog out off leash.
She headed right for the chickens which were free ranging in front and along side the barn. They came running into the barn to me. Too bad I didn't have a pitchfork in my hand but I ran screaming like a Looney-tick after the dog!
Called 911 to ask for the animal control officer to be sent. Another lucky thing was the dusting of snow showing all the dog tracks in front of the barn. Proof that I wasn't a liar-He goes next door and dog is now in the house. (Ya think? They had to have heard me!)
He tells them the dog attacked my chickens. Their intellegent response?
"Her chickens come into our yard". AC response was "then they are fair game. However, your dog was ON HER PROPERTY in her barn attacking the chickens".
They blustered and told him they were sorry and said they would call and apologize.
Good thing I didn't hold my breath as it's been over 24 hours and no call. (=
Some people just don't get it-
