77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

[77Herford]

Well we cleaned up today. It took longer than we would of wanted due to evidence gathering. My Wife and I have decided to accept the money and donate it to a Prairie Restoration project that we are both fans of. We don't want any news on this as Pits already have a bad enough rep. I have a friend and some other people I know that have Pits or Pit crosses and they are Friendly dogs but you must be very firm with them as they have had many generations of aggression bred into them.

I have a friend who works for an Animal rescue op and has been to the Offending Pits rescuers place. He said it was a pretty good place with just a few minor issues, such as old hinges on kennel runs and rusty locks on some kennel doors. In this case the three pits got along as they were litter mates and all lived in one large dog run/shelter. The door hinges failed and they got out and dug under the couples fence.

As sad as this all is the farm work must go on and we are considering Llama's instead of LGD's for now.

Wow, you and your wife are great people! Hope that you guys are able to have some type of closure.

Hoping one day you get some LGD's, but can truly understand your hesitation now.

Hoping you and your wife are doing well. Though you a farmer, and your Wife a Vet tech, what you both experienced to your animals, well loss of words here. Wishing you both the best.

Farm 2 will be getting 6 Llama's over the next couple of weeks. They all have past dealings with guarding flocks of Sheep or Goats and should do fine on their new place.

The Pit owners seem to be very religous and seeking our forgiveness, which is annoying to say the least. They actually had the nerve to pray at my property gate with their teenage kids with candles.

Since my land extends to the end of the drive and not to just my gate I happily though impulsively walked right out with my Pistol and shot a couple of rounds into the air. Then I gave them some choice words that can't be repeated on here and told them to get the BLEEP off my land and never comeback!

Needless to say the left in a hurry.

Hope all goes well with the llamas. Glad to hear they have past dealings with guarding and should settle down nicely for their job.

I would think the neighbors would leave in a hurry. Though they are remorseful and seek forgiveness, some careless acts just are unforgivable. Don't mention religion around my DH. Not after what we experienced with our loss. He would probably have the same reaction as you, and I wouldn't blame him.

See you made RTG feel better! Miss that snarky attitude when she's sick.
