    So my stupid neighbors have chickens…. decided today since one was getting picked on by the other hens in the hen house, left her out in the yard... and they went shopping... well the hen decided to see what was on the other side of the fence.... and guess what they found??? Right... two Basenjis.... holy ****!... what a friggin mess... especially when I got a hand on Franie, C-Me decided that "hell" this is mine.. and proceeded to take it in through the dog door to the dog room.... what an incredible mess... Was this C-Me's way of saying she wants "fresh MEAT?" And she was very proud of herself!!!!.... I was not even slightly amused!

    LOL, now they are curled up together in one bed... with a great look of satisfaction! Me??? I need more than one more glass of wine!

    By the way, I live 2 blocks from downtown Pleasanton... so a city area... People are able to have "4" chickens, hens only... of course these people had a Roster.. and had no clue... DUH.. what part about ****ADoodle Doo (at 4am)... don't you get?... but dogs are limited to 3?

    Omg Pat that is kinda funny but not at the same time! That should teach them to keep their chickens secured. I can just see her running in through the doggy door with a chicken in her mouth, grinning the whole time!

    I don't even really like handling chicken from the grocery store, so I definitely would not be ok with freshly killed chicken! That is pretty funny, though not for you of course ;) And that is really weird that you can have more hens than dogs that close to downtown. I know of 2 houses within walking distance that have chickens, one of which lets them loose with no fencing in front or back and it's not uncommon to see them very close to or even on the road. Hopefully those neighbors will learn their lesson!

    At my previous house, we had a chicken visit for dinner. Nothing was left except the feathers.

    Actually, Pat, you need to make good friend with people who have chickens. Fresh egg are way worth it!

    My current neighbor to the north of me has chickens (and a few ducks and a turkey. or maybe had a turkey, i'm not sure). But we're all on 5 acres in a mind-your-own-business type area.

    Between yesterday's adventure and the "roster"….. we do and will get eggs all the time!

    Well, your neighbours don't have to worry about integrating the flock anymore! They could have done something else, knowing they are in the city (duh) with dogs around. Don't get me wrong, I have chickens . And this reminds me of the time Shadow wanted 'fresh meat' as well. Ah well, at C-Me is well fed today! LOL

    After today's x-rays, looks like 6… one could have been absorbed or hiding. All are very uniform, no "huge" pups, which is a good thing.... no signs of whelping yet

    I don't just want one….I want them all!! They are adorable with their puppy goofballness......That is one nice thing about beeing a breeder, getting to have puppies a lot more than non-breeders.

    Yes, the one determinedly going her own way…I don't think I could ever be a breeder - I'd want to keep them all....

    Trust me, when they are 8 and 9wks old, you are more than ready for them to go to their new homes! Six puppies at that age are like having 106!

    Amen. I'm fostering what was an 8week old (from the 12/7) so my best for Can surprise her seven year old with a puppy… I am more than ready to go back to oak and I!!! I have learned a lot about Oakley in the process and am grateful to have gotten my "puppy fix" but Christmas can't come soon enough.

    @Quercus: <> Right...I wasn't sure if that was the litter that Sue was referring to? But I don't know of her doing any other brother/sister breeding. So yes, Ariel is a product of that breeding. The idea was to do a test breeding to see what genetically, if anything, might be brought out. By doing an inbreeding, you can 'expose' recessive genes, and see what you've actually got. You can also set (as in permanantly set) type...but, that wasn't the goal in Sue/Jeff's breeding. In this case, the two "best" "typey" puppies from this litter will most likely be bred on from, as long as they test out as genetically and physically healthy, they will most likely be out-crossed, to bring in different genes. Ariel's brother, George, is quite stunning, and is easily the best looking puppy in the litter. Ariel has a beautiful head, but is long in body, short in leg. Neither one is what we consider a "show dog" ;) And the litter's sire is quite handsome!.... the dam of the litter, while long in the back and short on leg (like it sounds Ariel is) has a great temperament... both are great to build on the future.... and breeding out from these pups will be great to build on too.... I am pretty sure that would be the breeding Sue was talking about, like you I don't know of any other brother/sister breeding she and Jeff has done.
