Hate to hear that Phil. Kinda like Joe said, you guys know he has the temperament to do that kind of stuff so it's probably more up to the family to watch out for the little critters you decide to keep. Sucks for sure. Had a black lab that no matter how much he was scolded he often found a baby/young bunny during the summers to bring to us. For some it's in their nature I guess.
Hunting dogs gonna do what they bred to do. Just unfortunate that the guinea pig was an innocent bystander. Sucks man, but it isn't the dog's fault. More often than not, when a dog does something "wrong" it's a direct result of something the owner did wrong.
I hate hearing this like everyone else Phil. First thought is: Arrangement needs to be so dog and guinea pig do not cross paths without people around.
Yup. And have been made/were made before anyone suggested on TOO. I appreciate it fellas.
Garrett seems to be moving forward well. One remaining pig doesn't see to care. Not that I'd have a clue how they were supposed to be acting. Glad that shitty deal is over.

Sounds like the dog just wanted you to be proud of him for ridding you a rodent. In his eyes that's how it might seem. For us and your boy not so much.
Last Tuesday I was working from home when my phone rang at about 8:15am. It was my neighbors behind us. She was frantic and all I could make out was she called 911 and the fire truck was on the way. I ran outside and saw then driving up behind my barn. I run up to see my pheasant brooder house fully engulfed. Birds must have got spooked in the night and knocked the heat lamp off the wall. Nothing we could do but watch it burn. Luckily most all the birds got out in time and were in the flight pen. Unfortunately with the brooder burned down there was no way to keep them in the pen. Had to go ahead and release the Las 25 or so that I gad. Guess this spring I will be rebuilding the brooder and replacing the flight net as it melted about a third of it. Could have been worse. If it would have been windy it could have jumped to the barn. At least no one was hurt and the birds were all old enough to give it a go in the wild. I am sure the hawks and coyotes are sure happy.

Damn, sorry too hear that Jon.... I know you put a lot of effort in this project.... Sucks too see this happen....
Sorry to hear, Jon. At least nobody was hurt and your barn didn't burn. Sucks that all that work burned up though.

Banks are weird!
So many of you followed by home build thread and barn build thread. I thought it would be a good time to examine my personal finances now that my home build project is now complete. My mission now that everything was complete was to examine extending my personal credit line. I was thinking about going into the home flipping business so some side cash would be needed.
A 2013... 2144 sq ft. Ranch (home sticker price was $ 279k, with my adders almost $ 300k)
1,512 sq ft commercial building (all in for kit, footers, concrete, insulation, doors, and erection about $ 100K)
12.49 wooded acres $ 67k with $ 40k improvements= $ 107k (1300' gravel driveway, pond, $ 10k in drainage piping)
My 2014 bank appraisal prior to buying 6 adjacent acres next door, building a $ 10k deck, and $ 100K barn was $ 290k.
.....today's bank appraisal after additions $ 285k. Guess that shot a big hole in my borrowing capabilities for home flipping.
The moral of the story is add $ 141k into your home and the bank negates it's value by $5k. Try to repeat my build for the bank's appraisal price.
The bank does no one any favors.

Sounds about right Ben. I looked at a Fannie Mae repo house today. I was ready to make a cash offer. They are not accepting any offers until Feb 16. First time home buyers, path to home ownership people get first dibs. If it hasn't sold by Feb 16 I can place an offer. Huh? Govt would rather wait than accept a cash offer? My offer was going to be within $2k of asking. Oh well. Bank regulations and govt regulations don't always make sense my friend.

Sounds like you wait 2 weeks Phil and offer them $5k less than asking. That way, you win and they lose. That will fix them.
