Dumb and Dumber

So, this friend of mine has an idiot boss. Makes decisions that makes one
question his sanity ALL the damn time. He is married to someone that makes
him look like the sane, sensible one. IMO, they have both inhaled one too
many times, and it has irreparably damaged their brain cells. They
currently have a son who is almost a year old, and are expecting another in
December.

In the past few months, he lost two Llamas to something. He doesn't know
what. So he went out and got two more and put them in the same enclosure
where the other two died. He lost all his chicken to the fox, so he went
out and got some more (he couldn't get them himself, legally, so he had them
sent to his dad and dad smuggled them in). Yesterday, the fox was back.
And got more of his chicken. He aims to protect his chicken through the use
of a golf club (NOT kidding). He lost all his ducks to the fox. So far, he
hasn't replaced them, but I'm sure he will at some point.

Through some miracle, he actually had a dog that lived to an old age and
died of natural causes, and currently have a couple of cats (supposedly
outdoor, but there is evidence they come in the house also) that have also
managed to stay alive.

On Thursday, he's bringing home a 3 1/2 year old Lab mix that he found on
Craigslist. The dog is allegedly good with kids and adults. No known
problems with other dogs. Complete unknown with cats, chicken, ducks, ....
I am going to wish him a lot of dumb luck, 'cause that's the only way those
poor cats, chicken, ducks etc. are going to make it.
