Andy Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 3pm in the Afternoon parcel being delivered, Didn't realise Darwin was upstairs So out the front door he dashed. grabbed a lead and legged it after him. In and out of gardens then up between 2 houses and into a back garden. Knocked on the front door . . . No response, up to the back I can see his tail wagging away up the garden Knocked on the back door . . . No response. Walk slowly up the garden calling softly. Darwin prances way playing catch me. Comes to a fence 3/4 up the garden and shimmies between the partition fence and the main garden fence. Suddenly there are CHICKENS flapping and squawking. . . OH $#1! !!!!! Darwin Leaps and grabs a flapping chicken out of the air. He rags it around pretty much killing it instantly. I get into the coop and grab his collar and although I have to pull him he lets me drag him away from the chicken I get his lead on and get him away from the coop. Knock on the back door again. . . nope no one home. Take Darwin back Write a note explaining what has happened Giving my phone number 6 hours later phone rings, it's Dorothy up the road I explain what's happened She asks what breed of dog is it Siberian Husky I tell her. OH, well that's OK then My Husband used to have a Husky I know exactly what they are like for escaping and running away and the prey drive. There was nothing you could do. (Phew!!) I think. So I've offered to pay for a replacement chicken, she's fine with that. I think I got off lucky. Darwin. . . . . GGGGGRRRRRRRRRR damn dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDogLove Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm sure that gave you quite a scare! Thank goodness nothing worse happened and you got him. That lady was very understanding, bless her. I must say, though, this made for an entertaining read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Honesty. Andy it's due to your honesty. Not luck. Glad it did not turn ugly. Huskies in the Heartland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I have to laugh, but I know I should not. Naughty Darwin. Good that the Lady was so understanding. I bet he had planned that for ages, saw his opportunity and went for it. They are a bit to clever sometimes. Poor chicken though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 bad Darwin! Glad it didn't turn out as bad as it could have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Relieved to hear you got him back safely. Sorry to hear he got a chicken in the meantime but really not much you could have done to stop him. You handled the situation with honesty and respect for all parties concerned. That must have counted for something with the lady. Glad you could reach an amicable solution. [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kells xx Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Darwin is a megaturd... Scaring my dad like that... He had a very smug face after my dad got him home... Luckily the lady was OK with the situation and we are getting her another chicken.... Naughty Darwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I have to laugh, but I know I should not. Naughty Darwin. Good that the Lady was so understanding. I bet he had planned that for ages, saw his opportunity and went for it. They are a bit to clever sometimes. Poor chicken though. I don't think he had it planned THIS TIME. However Next time he manages to escape from Alcatraz I bet he'll make a bee line straight for that house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
