Our pet wolf.
Snapping and feathering.
Our pet wolf killing our white chicken.
She was called Snowdrop and belonged to my daughter.
The dog always disliked the white chicken, who was bold and would sneak out of the pen to peck in the garden. When the dog was locked in her kennel Snowdrop would peck right outside as if to say, 'Ha! What can you do about it?'
Well the dog took her chance and executed her. It was horrible but I was quick to tell the children they couldn't blame the dog...she was only acting like a dog. It was our fault for not fixing the small hole in the chicken pen. One of those jobs we meant to do and kept forgetting.
Daughter took it very well, 'I'm OK. Chicken's don't live long anyway.'
Older son was very sad, we both cried as we were fond of the silly white chicken.
That's what happens when you domesticate a wolf and keep it as a pet.
Poor chicken! Though from the next post it appears she has a second chance at life. Dogs are fascinating, frustrating, and wonderful creatures. But they are creatures, nonetheless.
