I know I posted this somewhere before, but can't find the thread. I went out to water one day and found two feet sticking out of the dirt. When we dug down, we found a dead chicken upside down. Apparently, it stuck its head in a plastic jug I was using to water a new plant, got stuck and flailed around until it smothered itself! Don't know how it got to our place to begin with, as there were so many hawks, owls, and coyotes around at the time. Dead coyote in the pond, turkey vultures in the front yard finishing off a snake or squirrel - the joys of rural life. lol

We do have some neighbors we had to teach about fences. They had a pack of dogs- anywhere from 5-7 - and a young son that would roam all over our property.

The pigs are hilarious. I can't remember if it was their backs or ears we scratched, but they keeled over and took a short nap. They followed us around nipping at our ankles.
