Sorry about the turkeys! Has the little vermin now been permanently excluded from the poultry area?
I wish.... the stupid creature still runs free and has recently killed two of our baby layers.... we joke about a potential accident taking place since he never stops barking.. actually I can't even call it barking.... the Hercules yodeling group coming to a house near you :tongue. Anyone want a yodeling dashund? We have tried shock collars and he killed brand new batteries in one day :thI seriously hate this dog :smack

They are bred for badger hunting....maybe @Bruce could take it off your hands for woodchuck control.....:gig
They don't bark....that is why they are called yelpers....:)
It would be better if he even yelped.... he throws his entire body backwards and howls! I swear I'm not one for animals cruelty or injury but in the nights he's done this even ive gotten some ideas I'm not proud of in my head :smack dumb dog annoys the heck out of me.... the level of irritation I feel for his is like when those people come up to me on fb and say that working in a dairy barn is cruel etc etc. And me being a rather calm person.. it takes a lot to make me that annoyed. Hey @Bruce if you want the dog you can have it:gig

Sorry you have to put up with the dog. You'll never break him from killing the poultry, you'll just have to keep him put up. Really glad that you are back, have missed you!

I'm glad to be back too... honestly the past few months have been rough for me. I've finally gotten past some of that dumb crap that was holding me back. Now let's hope it stays behind me :p. It feels amazing to have such a warm welcome back :D

Hey @Bruce if you want the dog you can have it:gig
You are so cute Newton! Um, no thanks. And here I will insult some people but if I can throw it more than 5', I don't consider it a dog. And I'm not all that strong ;) The smaller they are the noisier and more obnoxious they are. I'm sure there are some individuals that do not fit this description. And yeah, there are annoying obnoxious bigger dogs as well.

I don't think one could trap a dachshund in a havahart, they are too long!

Step-mom refuses to let the dog be controlled/confined away from the poultry? I gather they are totally unimportant to her. That is unfortunate. Also unfortunate that your dad doesn't step in. After all, I gather most of the animals officially belong to him, right? Why does he allow them to be killed for no reason?

It's not that either of them don't care. Both make sure he isn't outside Un supervised WHEN they are home. My great aunt is the one who just let's him outside and leaves him outside unsupervised even though I've asked her not to do that. And I totally agree with the if you can throw it more than five feet thing. My dad says a dog under 25 lbs is just bait not even a dog. You tie a peice of line to them toss them into a dog park and reel it in and *BAM!!* you got yourself a big dog :lol:

:gigThere you go! What happens if the person that came with the real dog doesn't want to give it up though??

So .... I hate to say it but this Aunt of yours seems to be quite the PITA.
