I need to find out. As to being able to take a picture- I don't think that could happen because we're always so frantic to get the dog out of the yard. <br />I feel sorry for the dog too. This is not his fault. But his life can't be much fun as it is.

I think they got out somehow. Turns out she didn't even tell her husband about the last time they got out because he wasn't aware of it. I've never even met this woman but I can't imagine she and her husband have a great relationship. But who knows? Not me. <br />And actually, if Mr. Moon got the chance to shoot the dog when it was in our yard, he probably would but that dog runs so fast when we yell that it would be impossible. <br />I would have taken these dresses in myself but I just didn't want to screw it up. They're really lovely linen dresses and I decided it was best to take them to a professional.

Those are the ones I adore. <br />And of course, your dog was only doing what it was bred for, I am sure. We liked animals that kept vermin at bay. So we made sure there were more of them. Now cats, on the other hand, are the same now as they were when humans first started living with them. In a way, you could say that they have domesticated us.

And if you have a chance to get some photos of that dog outside its yard (can you take pictures while simultaneously defending your chickens? maybe a tall order) that would help with evidence.
