This is not a recipe for boneless chickens

Look Gertrude! That bone looks much tastier than this one…

Let’s try to get some of that.                                Be careful Gertrude.

If we just pretend to look for something else…        Ooo, tasty little thingy we’ve found here…

I don’t think this one wants to share with us Gertrude. Let’s try the other dog over there…

Hi there dog. Wanna share?

Rude animals those dogs. This one just ignores us.

If I go this way…

…you might be able to sneak around him from the other side. Stay low!

Gertrude, I don’t think our plan works.                  Perhaps if I try from this side…

IMG_4670 IMG_4671

…or from this side…                                           I’m getting close now…

IMG_4673 IMG_4674

Yep! Did it! Quick, come over here…                     Did you get something? 
                                                                          Yeah, but it wasn’t worth all the effort.

Let’s go lay an egg…                       (Did I hear egg? Ooo yummy!)

  5. Oh you're too funny! Love your labradors they're gorgeous things.I think mine would have 'retrieved' the chooks tho. Then a bone is a very important distraction when hyoju're a dog.

  9. Jabblog,
    the dogs don't touch the chickens, so they have nothing to be afraid of

    Putz,
    I believe you!

    Jinksy,
    it's all peace and harmony here ;-)

    Skittles,
    the dogs love chicken. I'm not sure if they recognize chickens as chicken. But to be on the safe side, we've told them not to touch the chickens ;-)

    Baino,
    even without the bones they wouldn't touch the chickens. Such good dogs!

    Mara,
    yes, well, uhm... Windows live writer makes it easy to do posts like this. In blogger it would take all day and longer. WLW: half an hour.

    Dave,
    Biggles can make the best faces and noises. I'll have to figure out how to get a video of him online. Big laughs guaranteed.

    Rose,
    I underestimated you all. Could have left the words and just posted the pictures ;-)

  10. I'm with Mara (above). I thought, "Has it come to this? Carolina's taking pictures of dogs and chickens?"

    But I'm just a voice crying in the wilderness....

  13. After snapping a pic of Nigel in the hen house you know I'm loving this! And for the record, he has the same prey drive. :)

  14. I love a good picture story, especially one with a happy ending. And any story that ends with being laid...
