Ruth Gregory Posts: 8072 Joined: 25th Jul 2007 Location: USA | Posted at 16:18 on 4th July 2008 Well, I don't have a top field, Denzil, so what should I do here? PS - What happened to the tractor in January? I thought that if there was any piece of labor saving device that would work in January, it would be a tractor! Can you handle both these questions, in one posting, Denzil? |

The last time I visited Cornwall my dog chased and killed a Bantam (chicken) The question is:How do I train her so that she doesn't do that! I would even settle for a compromise so she only severely maimed them, that's better than killing them. Thanks Dr D. |
Denzil Tregallion Posts: 1764 Joined: 26th May 2008 Location: UK | Posted at 16:44 on 4th July 2008 Ruth and Ray one at a time Im clever but thats making it hawkwerd Ruth first then no dont fill the holes with that becuase it wont work sands the best solusion to the problem Dr D. I like that Dr D bit Ray dont come to Cornwall again with your dog leave her in the kenels and come on your own but avoid Bodmin Dr D |
