Max is a coon killing fool. He was loose when I brought the last2 livetraped coons out of the barn. they growled and hissed at him and that made him mad. he is good with all other livestock. I wish I could leave him loose but we have an asshole neighbor. He killed 3 last fall. I think they were getting into his food and he doesn't share his food! and now he goes bonkers when he sees one.
for the most part we are lucky here. everyone but the one neighbor is real good about keeping dogs on their own property. our old female dog went in heat several times and no males showed up. it is just the one neighbor. he is known to be quick to shoot any other dogs, but his gets loose all the time. then it comes here and barks and growls at me and chases my rabbits and chickens. it is about to get SSS. I think I am going to start saving my rabbit money for fencing, posts, and gates. at least for all but the wooded gully. don't know what ill do there...
this is 4 pictures of the same rose as it is opening. Josephs coat. it stars out yellow and then goes peach then pink then a dark pink. when large the bush will have all 4 colors on the same bush. took me 10 years to get another one.
