Also, last Thursday, a stray dog wandered into our yard. She's a young black lab who has been all around the neighborhood. Probably someone dropped her off. Our neighbor has been feeding her and evidently she wasn't getting enough, because she came over and got herself a chicken. We chained her up so that she couldn't do that anymore, and my honey said he'd have to shoot her. Dd started in and begged for a chance to find her a home. Honey caved and now this chicken killer is chained to our extra doghouse. (Probably in cahoots with the fox.) Well my daughter has really been trying hard to find this dog a home, even pushed her at our rummage sale, but no takers. She's a nice dog, if you don't have chickens. Young and friendly. Today is the deadline. No shelters will take her. Sheriff's dept. says to shoot her. We should have gotten rid of her on Thursday, now dd is attached and this will be hard. Anyone have any advice? Anyone want a dog?

I made a flyer for the cat my daughter is leaving behind- she took it to work in a pretty picture frame.
People don't want animals on the basis of feeling sorry for them, generally, but it never hurts to advertise - is there a general store, feed store or library where the kids could sit with the dog for a day - holding a sign that says "need home with no chickens"- so people immediately understand the situation? Labs are great companion dogs, smart and very obedient (when trained), so someone will surely take her if given the opportunity.
