We have a new problem with Wendy; our neighbor.
Wendy has been taking short excursions off the farm at night to follow scents and sounds in the neighbors woods that are adjacent to our pastures (this is where we think the coyotes come into our pasture). Last night we got a call from George (neighbor's son) letting us know that Wendy was visiting. I asked if he could run Wendy off. Then he told me that his 97 year old mother had brought Wendy into their house and was feeding her rib eye steak. Also, this was not the first time that Wendy had been in their house.
Joan "Birch" Hotz really wants another dog but because she has dementia her caretakers and family won't let her get another dog. George told me that Birch was thrilled having a dog show up at her house.
We want to be made at our neighbors for encouraging Wendy to wonder away from her guard duties; but we can't bring ourselves to say something to Birch. BTW, take a look at the link above; Birch is an amazing women. Birch was in the WAAF transporting bombers from North America to Britain during WWII and was in Britain during the blitz.
