Found a hen in the street "Backyard Chicken"

[brutal]

I did. I put these at the door and windows of the bird house. I don't think the bears will be a problem for the birds anymore.

Before anyone cries brutality or anything, these "unwelcome mats" are recommended by the DOW, bear management folks, etc. - as long as they are built correctly. 1/2" - 3/4" of the screw showing above the plywood on a 2" grid.

Saw them put all the screws outward on outbuilding's door hinges, etc. on one of the Alaska reality shows.

I have some of those in front of my gas meter.

Teach it to count and give it a job in government.

Slapped together this ladder for the chickens to access the coop. I've also gutted the coop for the egg box I built and installed a small cabinet (what usually goes above a fridge) to the side for laying boxes. Frees up area in the coop and gives easier access to the eggs. Pictures of that will come when I'm finished building. It sure is nice having the time to get everything ready on the cheap this time.

Kill the neighbor dog yet?

[Irving]

She is effectively blocked out of the yard, and has been since the day the chicken died. Now that the dogs can't see each other, they don't even try to play through the fence anymore like they used to.
My daughter says bad things about the neighbor dog, but I think she secretly still likes the neighbor dog. I don't think I ever posted a picture of the chicken killer, so here she is in all her glory.



Here she is trying to get my cat. She actually tore a hole through the screen on the door that I had just replaced maybe the month before.



I even petted that murderer.

Maybe they're on the other side, but I'm not seeing any googly eyes on the chicken ladder.

That dog looks like it wants to bite the shit out of you.

[Irving]

She looks all dramatic with that emo eye liner.

I'll have to snap a picture of a house in the neighborhood that has a pair of dinner plate sized googly eyes on a tree in their front yard.

[Calculated]

The eyeliner and the leather collar, she must be big into the Cure.

I bought a book for my son with googly eyes inspired by your pic and it's now his favorite book.

Neighbors have googly eyes too? Must be something in the water, I'll have to start drinking more from the tap

[Irving]

I think shaken baby syndrome would never have been a thing if it weren't for googley eyes on dolls.





And all the crying.
