Dogs and chickens..... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I acquired 5 baby chics this summer and they are mighty fine pullets now. The dog actually cowers around them but I have no idea what she would do if I were not there, so I keep the chickens in another enclosure. I never relly trust dogs as their instinct is often strong. Angus is wonderfully tolerant. I love looking at all your pictures.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741530210211074202.post-10150736670795883822014-08-12T08:06:41.805+10:002014-08-12T08:06:41.805+10:00I'm thinking of a drain like that when I redo ...I'm thinking of a drain like that when I redo our bathroom.<br />Merle................Merlesworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573975763012762631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741530210211074202.post-81683828335897892282014-08-12T08:05:23.428+10:002014-08-12T08:05:23.428+10:00It's hard if the dogs and cat don't get on...It's hard if the dogs and cat don't get on, but Angus gets on with most animals as long as they don't eat his food ever, that's a non no. <br />My son played football with him and he has got to know his partner but they are getting two great dane pups not sure have that will go,but as the garden is a bit of a mess it should not be a problem.<br />Merle.......Merlesworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573975763012762631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741530210211074202.post-2209128499139886252014-08-11T12:07:58.624+10:002014-08-11T12:07:58.624+10:00Looks like your son has been working very hard on ...Looks like your son has been working very hard on the house and everything is very nice. I love the glass doors and the window in the loo - oh, and the shower drain - that is really nice. Your garden path is nice, too. I am pet-sitting my daughter's two dachshunds - seems I have them more than her sometimes. They hate my cats, so I have to keep them separated. You are lucky that yours all get along. Funny about the hen and the dog, though. He seems a real mellow chap. It must be getting close to spring there - a busy time for you. Hope the new tenants are nice. xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741530210211074202.post-58741458743693238422014-08-11T09:28:53.619+10:002014-08-11T09:28:53.619+10:00I love that path you have going through your garde...I love that path you have going through your garden friend!!
