Poor ! Maybe for a little while she could have a sibling sleep with her, to give her some extra comfort and sense of security. You might think I'm nuts to suggest that, but I feel for her.Are you tempted to go and confront your neighbor? We had a dog years ago, that ate a duck that belonged to our immediate neighbor. He left a note in our mailbox that read: 1 murdered duck; $25. (or whatever the amount was). We of course sent the money with our deep apologies. Technically, the guy wasn't even supposed to have poultry. You need a minimum of 10 acres near where we were to have any sort of animals of this nature. He had only about 6 acres or so. We made certain we kept the dog in, or kept a close watch on him when he was outside. Also, having him neutered made him a

more complacent dog.I wish you the best in the aftermath of this, Sharon.love,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Sun, May 22, 2011 12:18:29 AMSubject: Re: roaming dogs killed our turkeys

Hi KateMy 15 year old granddaughter discovered the slaughtered turkeys this morning. She has been checking on the sitting turkey several times a day to see if the eggs hatched. was so distraught. She is having a hard time going to sleep tonight because of all of this. is the one who takes care of all the poultry and she is worried sick about the chickens and ducks tonight. We don't know for sure who the dogs belong to but we suspect a certain neighbor.BTW... the turkey eggs weren't broken so put them under a duck that is sitting on a few eggs. We are hoping they will still hatch.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Oh no, Sharon! How horrible. My heart is breaking for you and those poor innocent turkeys! Your grandchildren must be so upset. Whose dogs are these anyways? They should be fined for having them run loose. I can't imagine the horror of finding this. What an awful thing to wake up to. I'm so sorry.love,KateTo: Group <mserslife >Sent: Sat, May 21, 2011 1:48:57 PMSubject: roaming dogs killed our turkeys

We woke to all three turkeys (Narraganset) slaughtered this morning. The dogs broke through the side of their enclosure which was 3 feet of wood on the bottom and chicken wire up to about 12 feet. We had one turkey hen sitting on a bunch of eggs. There is black dog hair and yellow dog hair on the fence with at least three sets of dog prints all around the enclosure. Apparently we need even bigger, more secure fencing for our animals. You would think an enclosure 12 tall would be enough. Thankfully they quit at

the turkeys and didn't go after the ducks and chickens, too. SharonThis
