Okay it was hot in here so I decided against bringing 30 stinky chicks inside. DH would have a fit when he gets home if I did, so I put our Great Protector Dog by their pen so she can get all around and under it and protect them from snakes. She is a good dog and she absolutely HATES snakes. I have no doubt she would let us know if one were to come in her area. She done an excellent job in the past of protecting her charges.
I have some good news! MIL is getting a champion male english bulldog to raise bulldogs out of her female english bulldog, who also happens to be Misfit's mother. Misfit is our english/pit cross otherwise referred to earlier as the Great Protector Dog. Dh and I are going to have to drive several hundred miles to pick him up. She has offered him to breed to Misfit. Normally I am ABSOLUTELY against more unwanted pups, but I know that they will not be unwanted, beacuse I WANT them. They will be 3/4 english and 1/4 pit. I can't think of a better dog! I'll probably keep them all!!

My sissy bought a (33 acre) farm with a cemetery in the center of the front pasture. It was a ways from the house yet it was almost a deal breaker for her as well.

She went ahead an purchased it and now she say she doesn't even know what her problem was. They occasionally get a new addition to the "neighborhood" as she calls it now. When they do she tells me she got another new "neighbor". She says they make the quietest, best neighbors ever and she has never heard a single complaint from anyone of them!

Her hubby takes his turn at mowing the cemetery like the rest of the living neighbors do and they are always respectful of the dead there. Perhaps that is why all of her "neighbors" seem to remain happy and in their proper place?

FF - thats hilarious!

the old farm had a cemetary on one side.. we always said that the 'neighbors' were quiet and folks were dyin' to get in there.. ha ha ha ha ha

and no we were never creeped out at all.

altho once the dog and i were out there working in the garden and there was this HORRIBLE squawking noise and i was about to get the gun and the dog was nervous and we were ready for violence (me gripping the hoe ready for battle)....and then we realized it was bagpipes for one of the burials. aside from that - no problems
;-)

You'd think they'd have warned the living neighbors!
