"no fences of any kind" ???
so I guess that rules out backyard llamas to guard the chickens then--
no really, are there no dogs? or do the dogs run free or are they chained up or kenneled inside?? or what, seriously--what about the dogs?
and do you have a problem with the antlered rats?
Nice paintings Jo Ann!! looks like a lot of fun and I'm jealous some more (I used to play around with watercolor years ago when I didn't work so much)
