			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I keep trying to post, honest, but the thing is that Trent <a href="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/2008/10/rubys-life-is-hard-or-maybe-i-should-turn-on-the-electric-fence/#comment-390">won so hard</a> in the comments on Garth&#8217;s last post that both he and I have been sort of incapacitated since then. So I am promoting his song out of the comments, and hopefully breaking the spell. </p>
<p>Scroll down and look at the picture of Ruby first! </p>
<p>A SONG ABOUT RUBY, BY TRENT.</p>
<p>The saddest dog I ever did see<br />
Was stuck all in a fence<br />
She had a searching, soulful look<br />
But had not any sense</p>
<p>She only wanted chicken poop<br />
Fresh steaming from the pen<br />
And now she’s on the internets<br />
Betrayed by her friend</p>
<p>Oh dogs, oh dogs, oh do not do<br />
As that dog Ruby tried<br />
For if that fence were lectrical<br />
That dog Ruby had fried</p>
<p>Oh dogs, oh dogs, oh do not do<br />
As that dog Ruby would<br />
Don’t go a-eatin chicken poop<br />
Like it was any good</p>
<p>Oh go on, go on, doggies dear<br />
Don’t eat shit from the fowl<br />
Or you will feel as Ruby feels<br />
Too shame-faced for to howl.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We pasture our chickens with a combination of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tractor">chicken tractor</a> and <a href="http://www.themodernhomestead.us/article/Electronet-1.html">electric mesh fencing</a>. Unfortunately, I haven&#8217;t been able to get a good charge on the fence and, in combination with the dogs being friendly with the chickens and keeping predators down, we don&#8217;t turn the electric fence on. It&#8217;s just a big mesh pen.</p>
<p>However, in combination with the dogs&#8217; fondness for chicken feed/poo, this can lead to some entertaining antics. </p>
<p>See below.</p>
<div id="attachment_177" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/rubyinthefence.jpg"><img src="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/rubyinthefence-225x300.jpg" alt="Ruby&#039;s life is extremely hard." title="rubyinthefence" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-177" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ruby's life is extremely hard.</p></div>
<p>I helped her out as soon as I managed to a) stop laughing and b) take a picture.</p>
<p>Poor Ruby.</p>
<p>Update: Famous dog is <a href="http://faildogs.com/post/55648576/fail-dog-stuck-in-fence">famous</a>.</p>
