Update on the chickens and my little girl dogs

The chickens visit us daily.  I had been nervous about letting my dogs out when the chickens were here because the dogs go absolutely bezerk when they are at the window.  It they could break that window and get out there, they probably would. 

So a few weeks has passed . . . The dogs sit at the window now and just calmy watch the chickens do their thing.  The other day, 2 of the dogs were in the window and I could not get their attention.  Looked out the window and of course the chickens were here with their little squirrel friend.  It was the cutest thing.  This one white chicken was following the squirrel, not bothering it, just following it.  Too damn cute. 

We have about 2 acres so we don't always know when the chickens are on the property.  When my dogs are in the backyard (fenced) and the chickens are out back, the dogs keep running the length of the fence, back and forth, back and forth (real good exercise for them and they sleep soundly at night).  When we let them out front (no fence) the little chihuahua-mix and 1 min pin work together and heard the chickens back to their own yard.  It's such a hoot!  First time I saw it, I was nervous as hell.  I kept yelling at my husband that we can't afford a vet bill right now.  The dogs absolutely love it.  They come back after "hearding" so proud of themselves.  I've never seen little dogs do that before.

My biggest fear was that one of my dogs would take a nip at one of the chickens or one of the chickens take a nip at my dogs but that's not the case.  We are all living together peacefully and neighborly.
