Pippa
Poor Pippa was mauled by a fox last night. Nate went out to put them in their house for the night and arrived just in time to scare off Pip's attacker. He also got a good look at how predators are getting into the yard. Poor things, they're so helpless out there unless we watch them 24/7. I think we'll be getting a guard goose to help sound the alarm in case anything else comes sniffin' around. Aggie's pretty good at scaring off anything that gets too close, but she was in the house with us last night when it all went down.
Pip made it through the night and it looks like she'll pull through, but her leg is hurt so we brought her inside this morning and got her all set up in a big tote so she wouldn't have to move to get to her food and water. Hopefully a few days rest will have her ready to get back outside to her sisters.
*UPDATE* Good as new! Outside and tucked safely into her little house.
