> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Unfortunately, the idiot dog caught one of my dogs dogs outside and bit it. We had a dog tear apart one of our chickens. My gf caught the dog and confined it to a horse stall. I took the chicken to a veterinary hospital where I paid $380 to have wounds sutured. The chicken survived. My gf found the dog’s owner and he said he’d pay the vet bill, assuming the chicken was euthanized. He freaked out over the amount of the bill, so I presented the bill to his landlord who told him to pay up or move out. We were paid. I also filed an animal control report. Because the dog harmed livestock, certain laws kicked in and he got several fines. One for no rabies vaccine, one for no license, one for harassing livestock. Never had a problem with the dog after that! ---

My granddaughter’s neighbor moved and left their pittie mix behind. She is trying to find someone that could take the dog. The county animal control put pit bulls down upon receiving them, they can’t find people to adopt them. I visited her yesterday and met the dog, she is a sweetheart. A local pit bull rescue is swamped and has no place to put the dog. Alicia already has 2 large dogs, she doesn’t need a third. The formers owners of that dog should find a special place in hell when that time comes. ---

That must be a very special chicken. $380 buys you anywhere from 10 to 150 “normal” chickens. ---

I had to pay over $200 to get a pigeon patched up after I caught an adorable serial killer kitten in the act, and the treatment was just staples and antibiotics. ---
