It's a great day in a bird dog's life when you wake up to chickens in your yard!

I'm not sure Ripley is a great neighbor.

On day 1 he found a creature living under our house - it appears to have been a skunk.

After Ripley peed all over his holes, and tried to dig him out - the skunk left us a nice smelling front yard - we think he might have found another home.

On day 3 - Ripley found one of the neighbors Rooster's outside of the pen - and proceeded to grab it's tail feathers, chase it into the hen house - and stir up a the whole house. Everyone lived...

Then this morning, when I left Ripley out - there were 3 of the neighbors chickens in our yard. Again they were able to out maneuver him - but it is only a matter of time. It's a good morning in a bird dogs life when you wake up to chickens in your yard!

The neighbor told me that it wouldn't be the end of the world if he killed some of them- because she wants to get "pretty" ones. I explained to her that if we let Ripley start snacking on them that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the ugly ones, and the pretty ones. Her husband responded with "Neither can I"
