Charlie missed them when they "went away" I'm sure. Sweet Pup.
Other people's chickens can be a nuisance. Not quite as bad as a turkey flock. They talk all the time, and when it rains, they stand and stare at the sky. They will do that until they they drown. We had a neighbor that kept turkeys....my oldest son (18 months) walked around singing Obble Obble, and repeating a few other choice things he heard the neighbor say.
