I ...Oh, no! You had a very bad day, didn't you? I remember the rooster in my mother's chicken run was such a menace. I think it's their nature. I assume you have a rooster because you want to raise your own chicks? I think Rudy is cool, but keep that stick handy! xo ~ Nancy P.S. Roger, you naughty dog!

That would really upset me too! I often joke that the squirrels and chipmunks must really talk trash because our dogs just get so upset whenever they chatter overhead, lol! I'm glad that it all turned out okay for you, and that you were able to enjoy a nice cup of hot tea, and do some more crafting. Your talents with a needle and thread are amazing :) May the Lord continue to bless all you are doing :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-75395449999628179402015-10-14T22:50:47.201-07:002015-10-14T22:50:47.201-07:00My goodness, attacked by a cat?

I've heard of such things, and can only imagine how awful it must have been to feel like you were being terrorized by your own animals in your own home! And scars from it? Oh my! That is just awful! Well, I'm glad that all seems to be better now, but it does seem that animals sometimes can cause a lot of trouble! But then, we love them so much, that we just forgive them, lol! Today no problems with Rudy - I carried a stick. :) Appreciate your visit today, and praying the Lord blesses you with all that you have to do in the little time you have to do it. He can! :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-6379134384139357932015-10-14T22:47:32.979-07:002015-10-14T22:47:32.979-07:00Thanks dear Roxy for the kind words.

He really has so many other projects to work on, and the chicken run was not on his priority list, but once we got going on it, it was quite exciting for him to make it so rustic and unique :) Rudy never bothered me today, I carried a stick. But, if his unprovoked behavior continues, my husband has already threatened soup as the final end. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I have heard many bad things about roosters who attack, so I will definitely keep your advice in mind! So far we haven't heard any more on the lady who was bit. Praying that is all is well there. Appreciate your visit today, it always means so much :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-3411543618741240182015-10-14T22:45:14.463-07:002015-10-14T22:45:14.463-07:00Today was much better!

I see that I am not alone in difficulties with roosters. I was so hoping that since I raised him from a chick he wouldn't do this, but I guess you just never know. I will be carrying a stick with me from now on, just in case. Yes, Annie was being quite obedient at a time when I could have used her help, but I was glad that she was doing what she was supposed to, and it ended up that Roger got between me and the rooster and protected me. So yes, it was quite an eventful day! Today was much better, thank the Lord! And yeah, that tree... I just can't get over it. It is wild. LOL! Appreciate your visit, and taking the time to share your experiences! :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-11028121970558550642015-10-14T22:41:31.086-07:002015-10-14T22:41:31.086-07:00Oh dear Cheryl, you know I did wonder that about R...Oh dear Cheryl, you know I did wonder that about Roger. tell Zach that was a great thought! He just usually likes to play, and has never bit anyone before, so I have no idea what caused both him and Rudy on the same day to feel the need to go on the offensive! I'll probably never know, but just thankful that so far, we haven't heard anything from them, so hoping that the lady is okay. And I carried a stick with me today, just in case! No attacks today, thank the Lord! Yes, that face on the tree is just wild. It was downright eerie, and then with all that took place, things that you will never understand for sure! Hope you are doing okay, and that you are drying out from all the wet weather there. Take care my dear friend! :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-84069477506274956862015-10-14T15:54:35.803-07:002015-10-14T15:54:35.803-07:00Oh dear Marilyn,
That really is a bad day....I had...Oh dear Marilyn,<br />That really is a bad day....I had a weird day today too! Several things went wrong during the course of the day but then later this afternoon I took my dog out on her long leash and we startled a squirrel who ran up a very tall tree. When he got to the top, he fell out of the tree and landed with a thud (and I mean a loud thud) on the grass. He actually landed on his back and I cannot imagine how he survived since he had to be 30 ft in the air. Scared the dickens out of me but he did flip over quickly and ran off. My nerves are shot for the day! But your day was much worse! I hope Rudy behaves himself! Things will get better....xo<br />LindaLinda Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812556446959019991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-73432994305256901422015-10-14T10:24:42.152-07:002015-10-14T10:24:42.152-07:00Oh my, Marilyn!

Your rooster attack reminds me of last spring when we started our book tour and my female cat got sick and set off my male cat into attack mode and I was the target! Still have scars from that. It hurled us into a month from hell with sick cat that needed to be separated and both of them at opposite ends of the house and I was fearful the male would attack me again. The Lord is good--all settled these days. Hope your Rudy settles down. Sounds like that tree may need to be turned into another chicken run. Your acreage is stunning! What glories of His hand you behold each day. Joy to you, milady!<br />KathyMiss Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535864559101763980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-92035232755191391132015-10-14T09:09:16.032-07:002015-10-14T09:09:16.032-07:00Good Morning!

We had a friend that their rooster attacked their sons eyes. Very scary! The chicken coop looks great! I do hope that lady that the dog bit is not going to retaliate!<br />Thinking of you!<br />Hugs, Roxyliving from glory to gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123718369605106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-70928072889345570692015-10-14T06:25:29.416-07:002015-10-14T06:25:29.416-07:00Oh boy.

I always wore my army boots when working around the chicken coop. Roosters feet are more dangerous than their beaks! The closer you get to the hens, the more fierce they become.

I just had Zach come in to read this, and he said for me to tell you that maybe Roger saw what you went through with Rudy, and he was paranoid, and when he saw the ladies, he was taking up for you. My, what a horrible day you have had! I am so sorry! I trust there will be no repercussions with the tax lady and nothing will come of this. Oh, my! God bless you and give you a peaceful night's rest, with all of this put behind you. I cannot get over that tree. It was very scary looking....it definitely looks like a face, and not a friendly one, either. I don't blame you for not looking at it in the morning! Praying for you and sending you lots of love and hugs, sweet friend. :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.com
