Oh, I am so sorry. I had a bassett hound years ago and when we first got Chester, the first thing he did was go next door and kill one of their chickens. He was trying to play with it as he was raised with them. But, I guess he didn't realize he was alot bigger then and was playing too rough and one of them died.
I felt so bad that I bought them another chicken and then baked them a cake.
Being new neighbors, I didn't want them to get the wrong impression, right off the bat.
They were fine with that and we have been good neighbors for 24 years now.
I wish the best for you, Amber and Dee!!
