Yesterday we had a major loss. A visiting dog wandered up from the waterfall and attacked Tom. Boss Jr (poor girl) saw the dog running for him, but didn't realize that's what she was seeing. She went outside to see what this white thing running through the yard was, and found Tom being munched on. Tough cookie that she is, she hollered & barked, and scared the dog off- but the damage was done.
I called a sweet friend who helped finish the job.
I feel so much anger and sadness. Yes, these are meat birds, that I was prepared to help kill & butcher. These are not pets. But while they are in my care, I want them to know only love & kindness & joy. Now I am left with thoughts of how painful & scary & confusing that must have been for Tom, and the worry & confusion & loss for Geri.
I don't know that I'm really cut out for this...
