Ok This in not a cute dog story!
Was sitting on the floor of the living room doing some paper work at the coffee table. All of a sudden, this little shaggy dog was looking in the screen door at me. A duplicate was checking out the deck. Jumped up to get the camera. When I got back they were gone. After a little search I found them in the front of the house playing in the street. We live on a county road. Unposted speed limit is 50 mph and I heard a car coming. These dogs (Don't know what kind they are. I call them dust mops because they look like the mops I used to dust the hard wood floors with in our house when I was a kid) were having a grand time darting back and forth across the street. This was not going to be the kind of snap shot I wanted! This went on for about five minutes and three cars flying by. Then they disappeared. Thought they were strays dropped off by somebody who didn't want them. (We get that all the time as well as people's trash they don't want to pay to have picked up.)
Everything was quiet for about ten minutes so I went to sit outside on the back porch. Then I heard a distressed animal sound. Hear that often at night through the bedroom window when a fox catches a bird, cat or some other animal. But never during the day. Next, I hear the neighbor women two doors down yelling, "NO" and running through her back yard in a panic, "NO, NO". One of the "dust mops" got a hold of one of her chickens and was dragging it by the neck through the field. Come to find out these were her new dogs. They had broken through the electric fence. Ironically, they were a replacements for one that got hit by a car.

I am guessing they had chicken paprikash last night! Them again, maybe not. . .

Auto adjusted, sized, sharpened, saved.

Ha! Some people should not have pets.....why have a dog if you're going to let it run in traffic (again)??

The story had me drawn in & kept glancing back at the image- they are some kind of Terriers & just following instinct I suppose- At any rate you provided some good entertainment here ! :)

you should add some horns to those little devils! I like the "half-dog" on the right side!
