Farm Dog

 The other night, our neighbor complained about our dog barking at night.  She said it was all night, but that was an exaggeration.  Why would our dog bark?  Well, he's a farm dog.  He sleeps during the day and works at night.  His barking is to keep predators away.  Before him, we lost a bunch of chickens.  We were new to chickens, so we did not understand everything we needed to do.  If you do start, chicken coops from farm stores are not predator-proof.  Not only that, but they also tend to last about a year before they fall apart due to weather rotting. Our dog has done a great job.  I just hope that if something happens to him, we can find a replacement just as good.
