Bye bye doggies


In March, we said good-bye to Jake and Diesel. They were the cutest little doggies BUT they thought they were "pit bulls" in a puppies' tiny body!!!

They had zero bladder control so they spent most of the winter outside. We tried and tried for 9 months to potty train them. They were so darn cute and I couldn't get myself to punish them. I could never catch them doing their job so I didn't know which one was doing it!!! Needless to say, we have decided that we are not dog people! Well most of us are not, well OK, Mom is not a dog person! Especially when I constantly had to clean up after them and besides, Braxton was scared of them and didn't like to come to Grandma's house. That was a huge bummer!!!

The final straw was when they were playing a little too rough with the chickens. They would chase them all over the yard and then pick them up with their teeth to herd them to the back of our lot where they belong. This would maim them and then the other chickens would peck them to death. As soon as we got rid of the dogs, our chickens started producing eggs. We know they were terrified of these little raskels. Remember from previous posts, You don't mess with Mark's chickens!

  2. This mom is not a dog person either! After a year of having a dog, we are saying bye to our pup! Thankfully we found a good home for her where they can give her lots of love and attention!
