But hey have money and the SiL would rather suck from the teat than stand on his own two feet.

Good morning. It seemed like a good time to drop in for a few. I am probably going to turn back in for a while. I have been nervous about coyotes after a couple showed up on Tuesday, so I was up making periodic visits to the barn and pasture overnight.

Ooh, that could be a very bad thing for you. Keep your kids safe.

Well, that ain't good. That teat will eventually run dry.

Have you tried shooting or trapping them?

I tried telling him that a few years ago.

I need to roll on out of here. Have to get gas on the way to work. Everyone have a great Christmas Eve. See you on the other side.

I am thinking that I am either going to have to get a dog or a couple of llamas. The dog can be more versatile, but it is a challenge finding the right one without breaking the bank. It is amazing how rare a creature the good old farm dog has become! It seems like you get your choice between something of mixed heritage that isn't good for anything, unlike its predecessors which, while lacking a pedigree, could understand the difference between what belongs on the farm and what doesn't, or you can spend a fortune on a trained dog. The additional problem here is that until we get some other things sorted out (i.e, my aunt taking grandma home with her followed up with my permanent relocation) I have the additional challenge that grandma would ruin the best and most expensively trained of dogs. She has dementia and lacks enough mind to wrap around the concept that you don't make a pet out of a guard dog.

Llamas, on the other hand, are adequate against coyotes, use the same feed as alpacas, and come with the disadvantages of being unable to cross fences and not suitable to roam outside the fences.

Somehow that sounds like about as much fun as having your fingernails pried up. Try to have a good day anyway!
