Sad day for the Baker family

Today we had to give our dogs away. Mickey and Minnie were sweet dogs but they did not do well with our farm animals. They kept hopping over the fence of the goat and pig pen and each time we caught them before they harmed the animals. Today was different. Our neighbor saw them attacking one of the goats and intervened but not before it was injured. The dogs have been getting out of our property and annoying neighbors and their pets. It was just a matter of time before someone else had an injured animal. The goat has a bloody, hurt leg but otherwise, seems to be fine. Lots of tears were shed from the boys. We unfortunately took the dogs to the pound. I even struggled "keeping it together" when we left. Next time, we get a dog, it will have to be farm friendly.
