FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

[Ferguson K]

This was him two weeks ago. I don't have a more recent picture. I just shaved him down last night, too, to get an updated picture... I'm so mad.

I am so sorry for your loss of that lovely boy. Having your own to blame makes it doubly difficult to work through.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

I am so sorry K!

Just devastating.

 

[TAH]

That would be Devastating !
I am so sorry

We buried him next to Pearl's two kids.

I told the breeder, she cried with me.

She lost a buck today, too.

Cruel irony.

Is he the pyr you just got in August?

K- I don't even know what to say. Sending hugs and my thoughts to you my friend. I truly am so sorry.

Well you have a decision to make. Do you keep Sully and try to train him out of this? Or do you find him a nice home where there is no livestock and he can be a yard/house dog? He seem like too nice of a dog to bury him next to the buck, but I sure can understand John's feelings. Sorry that this happened.

 

[Ferguson K]

It is.

He had been over curious about the goats and I did not trust him alone with the goats. I left the gate open after I fed this morning and they all got out. Everyone was fine when John got home. He didn't put them up and took a nap. I got home and heard Pearl doing her "where are you?" Cry. I woke John up and we went out to hunt the missing goats down. Found them all except him. Started feeding so we could try and lure him out. He was by the buck pen covered in saliva. Sully is the only dog with a mouth that big. He was covered in saliva on his chest and paws. He's our culprit.

John wanted to bury him next to the goat. He was really upset. Beau looked guilty and kept hiding, we reprimanded him (he has never even LOOKED at the goats) and realized he was guilty because he got into the trash.

We really don't know which dog did it. Our of the pack, my only thought is Sully. He gets way to intense when I'm working goats and I've had to get Mason out of his mouth once before. He had him down under his paws licking him, I had him out while I was milking Pearl. It's why I think he did it.

Could have been an accident.

Most likely it was not.

It's not been a good month for us on that front.

@Baymule we're contacting his previous foster and informing her he's not going to work out. He will go back in the system as a PET only dog.
