At 23.18 on 27-6-08 a single enemy combatant crossed the perimeter at Rock HQ. Despite repeated warnings the enemy closed in and a quick reaction force was dispatched to meet the enemy with extreme prejudice.
At 23.19 the QRF closed with the enemy and engaged and we can confirm one enemy fatality, a male fox.
Despite all our efforts with guns, despite leaving out a fox trap for weeks that has so far caught one Gordon setter, two beagles and a collie, nothing deterred the fox, nothing that it is except a car travelling down our lane which run the bugger over!!
The fox was killed by heavy metal.
Good riddance!
But we shall be waiting for it's mate.

Have you thought of keeping Llamas to protect the rest of the animals? I heard about this idea on Newsround the other day. Here's a link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7448038.stm
It's often said that Llamas and Alpacas protect the rest of the animals, so thanks for the link. I must admit to being predjudice against them as every smallholder magazine, book, and programme seems to go on about them. Last smallholder magazine had a 32 page pull out on keeping the beasts, not useful when you want to know how to keep the usual farm stock and not exotic pets. There does'nt seem a lot of point to them, not good eating, stroppy and cost a fortune!
I shall stick to sheep and pigs and save my pennies for some Dexters. So far by selling toys on ebay I have raised enough cash for the back right leg of a small calf!
Thanks for reading and supporting the madness at Rock HQ!
I have just finished reading the whole blog - start to finish - and as happy as it has made me - SO funny, so well written - love it....I am sad, as now I have to wait for a once a day installment to know what is going on.
You and Tracey are very inspiring - there are so many posts I could've, should've and wanted to comment on, but you most certainly would've been bored by me.
I will say once again [my one other comment is on the post about "Animal Husbandry" - my family thanks you, btw, for the 5:40 am wake up LAUGH - I scared the b'jesus out of them...giggle] - truly THANK YOU!
Keep up the great work. I will be back and will let all my friends know too.
Take care.
