Kitten update

All's Well so far. Still not out of the woods, but the kitten is eating, sleeping, peeing, pooping, and talking....I suppose that's about all I do as well.
We haven't named it yet. Still waiting on the shape of things to appear down there before coming up with a name.
We are probably going with Athena or Apollo.
We have a few other cats with similar type names. Cleopatra and Nala and I recently lost my personal cat Zeus to a Dog attack.
I'm a Dog person too, but when a Dog roams the neighborhood killing other animals it's time for it to die. Period. I had a good idea which one did it because I caught it one day chasing my cats around the house.
A Renter from down the road owned a Grey Pitbull that frequently got out.
After the Attack, I saw him walking it in front of my house. I told him that if he valued the life of his dog, he'd keep it locked up. A brief argument ensued, but I noted the conversation wasn't up for debate. I never saw the dog again roaming alone and the owner moved a few weeks later.

As noted previously, I grew up on a small farm and have had to put roaming dogs down in the past. I don't like it or look forward to it. I just know that it has to be done.
I spent the night once in the barn with a loaded 12gauge only to have to destroy the neighbor's prized Doberman at first light while attacking our sheep. I don't recall the money the guy spent on raising his "prize winning" pooch, but whatever it was it didn't seem to matter to our livestock....or the 12 gauge. We tried the rock salt shells for awhile, but that didn't solve the problem in the long run.
On a related note. One of the funniest things I ever witnessed was grazing the herd on a large open field behind our property. Behind that field was a small Vietnamese vegetable farm with a bunch of Asians working out there every day. One day I saw a group of them trying to catch one of my Lambs and make off with it. I was riding a fairly large Quarterhorse and sped off after them. I guess they never really saw a horse before or maybe they watched too many John Wayne Movies and thought I was going to string them up on the nearest oak tree, but these guys screamed like children and dropped not only the lamb but everything else they had loose on them.
I'll never forget the fear those people had in their eyes. It's not like they were starving or anything, they just thought they'd get a free lamb for the pot.
Anyway I always thought the whole ordeal was pretty amusing and in the Third Person point of View probably looked like a Fox chasing chickens around a coop.......ah great fun.
Wait a sec....maybe it was just me that thought I was John Wayne? ;-)
