They Don’t Play

November 24th, 2009 · 13 Comments · Farm Things

Our little beagle, Shaggie (half Shelby, half Maggie – geddit?) was only trying to play with the chickens.

Really she was.

She didn’t mean one bit of harm.

But one particular chicken apparently forgot to take her hormones that morning…

Because she did this.

And then she did this.

And she proceeded to beat the heck outta poor Shaggie until the dog managed to get free of her wings.

To be very honest, I was more than a little scared to be sitting right there with my camera.

But I was even more afraid to try to move.

    Awww, poor Shaggie! Doesn’t this chic realize that she needs to be a little nicer when it’s just 2 days until Thanksgiving???? She might be the “center of attention” with Chicken and Dumplings!!!!

    So funny!
    I feel for Shaggie, I’ve been on the receiving end of a flogging. Not fun!
    How lucky you were to be in the right place at the right time with your camera.
    By the way, what kind of camera do you have? I think you have said before, but I don’t remember.

    Becky, I have a Canon 50D. I was using the 70-300mm for these shots. I didn’t want to be any closer than that!
