It's a sad day on Held Farms. Our beloved dog, Queen, has died. I've only known her for about half her life...and on our first meeting, she let me know in no uncertain terms that I was not yet a member of the family. However, after awhile, she decided that if I was going to stay that I would be a tolerable addition to the family. We really became pals when I would give her an egg (usually already cracked) in the evenings. This treat led to some egg stealing, but she never once bothered the chickens. She'd just quietly walk into the henhouse, gently take an egg, and walk it back to her pen and would return to gather another egg until I either noticed what she was up to or she had enough. One evening I found about six eggs.
I was a little concerned when Rachel came along how Queen and Hannah would tolerate her. But from the very beginning they seemed to know she was family and tolerated Rachel's adoration well, even when they could no longer hear or see her coming up to lavish her with pets.
Rest in peace dear Queen. You are a sweet, good dog. I am safe in speaking for us all when I say that we will miss you.
