I was sitting here trying to work up something when the 2 dogs RAN out to the back yard and started barking. This is the usual time they & the neighbor dogs have a howling contest, so I didn't think anything of it. Then Gunner came running back into the house and practically jumped in my lap like he was scared & Chylo was still barking outside. So I went into the bedroom (Dave was sleeping) to look out the back window & saw nothing. I then went to the side window and saw the direction Chylo was barking. I looked over there and saw the biggest fox I have ever seen, and he was watching the geese. I said Oh Sh** and Dave woke up. I said there's a fox and he got up. I came back into the kitchen and kept an eye on him until Dave got up. The fox several times headed to the barn but ran back because of the dogs. Dave was in the kitchen by this time with his 22 and asked me to slide the window open. One shot & fox was gone. Dave went outside to find him.
And I went out to count geese, which by this time, had moved between our trucks. The goats were on the porch watching Dave! We tracked him to across the highway & Dave said he would find him in the morning. I checked on the geese a little bit ago & now they were on the porch!!..
So tonight I was very thankful for our dogs as they saved the day!
Have a great day....k
