FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

[babsbag]

Sorry about Lyra and so glad that she is going to be ok, poor girl. Those dogs need to GO sooner rather than later and I would talking with the neighbors NOW.

 

[Ferguson K]

Like Sam said... I've had many conversations with them over this.

I warned them weeks ago.

I'm not warning anymore.

 

[Ferguson K]

They did call and apologize and tell us they understand what will happen if the dogs come back over here.

I told them they're paying to repair the fence and the vet bill.

They're more than willing.

Neighbor wife was crying. She loves her dog. Gave them a number to a fencing company I use for the repairs.

I left all communication up to John. I'm not in a good mind over this. That dog challenged me in my milk barn the other day and if I'd have been armed it would've been dead then.

You are much more tolerant than I am but you being somewhat tolerant probably keeps peace in the neighborhood better.

I would not be in a good mindset either. It has been way longer of dealing with these dogs than you need to. The peace is number one priority when you are as close as you are distance wise to them. It personally sounds like they are trying to keep you from getting the authorities involved by offering to pay vs refusing and having legal actions brought against them for damages because of the dogs past....
We all love our dogs but at least we know when one is a danger vs needs training and are willing to do what is necessary....

Glad Lyra will be ok!

Maybe I missed this but where are your Livestock Guardians?

She had mentioned if it weren't for them and John things would have been different.

Everything was superficial. No major damage.

Thank God for Connie and Maddie. Thank God John was home and outside. Thank God it wasn't my nephews.

Vet sent her home with antibiotics and said watch the swelling but she should be ok to show Wednesday. I'm still debating on loading her up in the morning. She's moving fine and the stitches hide the holes....

Here are the before. I don't have any after.

Connie and Maddie are probably the only reason they didn't do worse.

Just finished checking in at Houston.

Pen is sort of decorated. We're out decorated on all sides.

At least we remembered our stall cards.

The difference in Lady and Katy is much more apparent now that they're shaved.
