i dont need help im really just venting but we lost 2 sheep today, including the only one i named. they were floating in the pond when i got home from work today. dogs got em some of the neighbors saw and ran them off and my mom ran one off. im pretty sad and angry bout the whole thing and I'm not sure what to do with the bodies. sheriffs dep. came out and told the owners they better put the dogs in the yard and that seems like plenty of warning. theres not gonna be too many dogs running loose in our neighborhood from here on out. out of curiosity would ground dog make good food for catfish or chickens? always gotta look for double uses ya know

are u requesting they pay for the sheep? it's the fair thing to do...then you can quit thinking about their dogs & what u wanna do to them.... if they know they gotta legally pay for their crime.... it'll also discipline them to not let it happen again. also free u from being mad at them... cuz getting paid for them....u can go out & buy some new ones.... or ask them to replace what's missing....thaz an idea too. that way you don't havta run around & shop & pick them up... but you best be specific on telling them the age & breed & the health of the animal... don't wanna open door of getting a sick or runt etc.
if u let it slide & it happens again... & bitterness.... well, u don't wanna bring that upon yourself... yer not a doormat. bare minimum u should let them know how much the damage cost & that next time they will pay in the courts.
it's just common farmer understanding for things like this, so they should know this is coming.

well the cop went over and told them that if they value there dog they will put it in a fence otherwise we will shoot it. so they are warned. as for asking for money honestly the guys got kids and is trying to sell and move and its Christmas and so on so im not asking for money. ive calmed a bit. the other dogs in the pack are stray. released into the wild of our neighborhood. if i see them in the road they are getting hit with the minivan or if they get in the yard ill shoot em. however since we cant always be around Dad went and picked up a vicious pair of attack donkeys to help watch the place:) found em for 60 bucks on craigslist for the pair. donkeys are super cheap where im at 20-30 bucks is bout the going rate. but mama donkey awta be able to run off a few little dogs while im at work so im not feeling like so angry now. though im sad that my sweet baby sheep is dead. and btw yeah im somewhat a doormat, though i usually find a way to make any unpleasant circumstance work for me. generally people dont run me over often cuz its pretty futile.
