Breaux Bridge is where the country singer Hunter Hayes is from. He played in the Pizza parlor in town. The people of the town got behind him and bought him musical instruments to help him. He started performing at an early age.

I am glad that you enjoyed your trip.

Wow I just caught up on this. I love Catahoulas but yeah... Not really chicken friendly! My dog Clara is bred to be a hog dog. Her dad took down a moose on a hog hunt once. (he got in trouble for that! Lol) but she has never ever touched a chicken. She herds the goats for me, she would love to herd the pigs, and she chased the roo but never hurts them. We are so, so lucky!

Oh my gosh...stupid Alfred! I think I'd be putting HIM in the small coop and let her settle back into her coop. She's been through enough trauma for one day.

Sure hope you can get Beaux to change his attitude. :fl Catahoula's are a tough breed.
i like that idea! I may switch Rose and Alfred right at dark. Give it a few days and put Alfred back in.

After a few more episodes that I prevented him from killing any more chickens, my husband and I talked it over and decided to find him another home. I ran an ad on Craigslist with a good description, including that he killed chickens. There was a lot of interest, but no one met my criteria. Yesterday a lady called and we talked. She sounded perfect. She and her husband came and picked him up. They have 15 acres surrounded by 150 acres of family land, they have a 4 year old boy, a Catahoula/Labrador cross, 2 Australian shepherds and NO chickens. She works at a vet clinic, Beaux went right to them and they all fell in love. It was heart wrenching to let him go, but I couldn't trust him out of my sight. We miss him.

Since we moved here 3 years ago, we lost 2 of our beloved dogs. We have two Great Pyrenees that love us fiercely and we love them even more. But our house feels so empty. We are still grieving the loss of Parker, and now Beaux. But I really feel that Beaux is in a better situation now and will be happier. I guess we will start looking around for another Labrador or Lab mix.

Good boy! He's beautiful, I'm happy for him that he found you, I think he'll be a much loved family member.
