Hercules wants all dog owners to know:

Be sure to take your dog for a walk outside at least 3 times a day for 20min or longer each. (backyards are not the same)




Hercules and your furry family member thank you.

Tough thread for me. Very recently lost our little bundle of energy, Remy. One too many seizures was too much for his heart....

So sorry to hear that, you were very lucky to have Remy and Remy was lucky to have.

Just last year i had to say goodbye to my great friend if 19 years, great cat. Before that ut was ny husky, my heart is with you.

Ohhh - that sucks Snaike and DST4ME. I'm so sorry to hear that. My doggy is almost 14 now and those thoughts occasionally creep in too. However, she's going pretty well other than the huge lump she has on her back (I'm calling her Quasimodo now - lol).

When I was a kid I had a Rhode Island Red rooster.   He was awesome, waking us every morning and chasing the local German Shepherd out of the yard just for jollies.    Couldn't believe the dog was so afraid of the bird.

This rooster scared off a coyote once. It was just a sole coyote, I'm sure a group would have had lunch, but we got a kick out of it.

Originally posted by hoserator The best were the geese. They were wickedly good guards. If a cat passed them with the tail up they would bite the $%i) out of it.

Just about the only critter I've ever been around that was meaner than a goose was a swan. They are

Yes losing a pet/fur baby can be so, so hard. We have 3 acres and a 5 stall barn and tack room. I have had horses my whole life and was raised in Nebraska. Sadly(very sadly)all the horses we had here are buried now. One of those horses(a member of our little family) I had for 30 years and he died at age 35. We would still have horses only my husband is now 74 and I just don't think I could take care of the place alone if something happened to him(that goes for me to).
My husband two years ago got ten chicks(chickens) for christmas from his friend. We had chickens for years and have a fancy chicken house that holds 40 hens(they died of old age many moons ago). The chicks turned out to be all roosters by mistake! My hubby calls them his "bachelors club" and since he raised them all they love him. They have access to the property and roam all over in the daytime and back in the chicken shack at night. Nothing like going to the front door and 3 roosters are looking in at you wanting to come inside. Lol.

Meet Alejandro (Hondro for short)

Hondro is a good looking little fellow.. question though; is he like most small dogs when meeting new people? 50% tremble and 50% hate?   

Hondro is a cutie for sure.   

My cats would love to “play” with him.

  Depends which animal has the baddest attitude.    I meant it lovingly, of course.

He barks up a storm but sometimes will settle down after a bit.
