A few months ago when my LGD was killing Chickens and Guineas, I had a
similar conversation with her. I figure either that or some of the
other work I did with her or a combo of the two worked.
I talk to all my animals, goats, chickens dogs, etc. It's not some
silly new age thing, I was just brought up to do that.
