A MUCH better day

MAX IS BACK HOME! We got a call from a neighbor about a mile away (cutting through the woods) going around the properties we had to drive about 5 miles. Their property butts up against ours (we have 20 acres they have about 80). He called and said that he found our dog and that he is very scared. We rushed right over there! When we got their he said you better call him he was just right here. I called him and about 30 seconds later he came running and was very happy to see us. We told him thank you and he said to us "Be sure to keep your dog chained or it's a guarantee that next time he will be dead." That to me was a threat really...I don't blame him really as Max WAS chasing deer and people don't like that AT ALL! Not a good thing for a dog to do and anyone has the right to shoot a dog if it's on their property chasing other animals OR their livestock. He said that Max had been there before chasing deer (can't figure out when, as he is always accounted for) The guy was not happy at all. What we think happened is that the guy held him there just to teach us and Max a lesson. Especially when we got him home he was not interested in water or food. He was VERY sore and could hardly walk. I had to help him up the stairs when he had to go out potty. He was just not normal excited Max. NOW...he is right back to normal and back to being Max. We are SO happy and could not imagine life without Max. He is for sure part of our family. Thank you all for the nice comments and for worrying about Max :D That is so sweet!

Today we were out in the garage working on our bantam coop. I got lots of pictures and Cory is going to work on getting them on the computer since we don't have our apple right now.

Kelly, you should see Phoenix! OH is he beautiful, what I am going to do is order phoenix girls for him so I can sell their eggs. We are putting hardware cloth in-between to separate the coop and the yards. Kelly is still separate from the girls until spring because they pulled out all his beautiful neck feathers but they are coming in nice now. Red actually. Not white like before. He's looking really cute! Well I'm giving the computer over to hubby so he can get my pictures on here and later I will add them so come back later to check. I will just put them in a new entry.

Family is good :D Stefan goes back to school Sunday...he was home for two weeks. Did I tell you all that he was "All American" OL in football? I don't think I did...I was off here for so long. Well, I'm off. Hope you all are well.
