Something very special there.<br /><br />I do sympathise with your daughter re the fox attack – it must have been extremely distressing. Two close friends of mine had a similar thing happen (one living on the outskirts of a city and one living in the countryside) – in both cases the chickens were pets and were found dead and dying. <br /><br />But I have to say both of my friends blamed themselves for not having secured their chickens properly that one night and although they were very upset (which doesn’t begin to cover how distressed they were), neither blamed the foxes.Teresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-52150989253854473902012-05-28T09:32:53.499+01:002012-05-28T09:32:53.499+01:00I've just read S.King's manual on writing....I've just read S.King's manual on writing.

They don't eat them, just slaughter them for fun, what a mess, what a trauma for the chickens who survive and what a hideous bloodbath with dead and dying birds ....Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-86603270454833206762012-05-27T07:32:48.331+01:002012-05-27T07:32:48.331+01:00Patsy's on there too, Old Kitty :-) You do nee...Patsy's on there too, Old Kitty :-) You do need a magnifying glass to see them, but still :-) Chuffed doesn't cover it really :-)<br /><br />Thank you SO MUCH for signing xTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-1945823770741596352012-05-26T22:43:39.081+01:002012-05-26T22:43:39.081+01:00*Scraping jaw off floor" - Your daughter is o...*Scraping jaw off floor" - Your daughter is on the cover of Stephen King's book?!?!!?
