Got Em'

A few days ago, we had some stormy weather. Jip has been relegated to the front yard on a tether since his kid chasing escapade. His dog house is too heavy to keep moving back and forth, so I brought the cube to the front. We've used this cube as a chicken shelter in the trampoline and also as a thing for the goats to climb on. Now we can add dog house to the list. This thing is coming in handy quite a bit! 😆


Because there was a chance of severe storms overnight, we shut Jip in the shed with the goats. I heard him bark a few times after I had gone back in the house, but thought it was just him settling in. Or irritated he was locked in the shed. 

But in the morning, G looked outside and saw two dark blobs in the backyard. Something had gotten our ducks. 😭 Two bodies left behind, a blood spot in front of the shed, the other two nowhere to be found... Safe to assume those two missing ducks were eaten. 

My dad suggested setting a live trap with one of the ducks as bait. Stay tuned to see if we catch anything!
