Purely circumstantial evidence. A closer look and you can see they all likely died from natural causes, like hoof in mouth or head in mouth…I'd the suspect looks very guilty!

Heath and Fen’s breeder took her little female from the last litter to a trial today. (She’s Fen’s sister from another litter)
It was their 2nd birthday today, here’s what she posted;
“Fiona celebrated by earning her first herding title - HTAD I, herding trial arena dog level one (sheep). To sweeten the moment she got first place in a class with 3 border collies (and an Aussie), one of the BC is doing BC field trials so is much more advanced. Yay, Fi!”
Such neat dogs. Fi is a pretty sable with a split face that I liked. She’s a super athlete and has done well in agility too, winning something last week, when they only dabble.
I love this breed and am so sad I’ll never have another.
Got 4 loaves of bread baked today. 2 sourdough for Randy and 2 loaves of whole wheat from hard white berries I milled into flour last time. He likes it, and it’s easier for him to eat as his teeth aren’t good. I like both breads.
Gizmo flayed open my hand with her razor blade claws. I was already having problems because of the RA eating up all the joints in my hands and wrists. I’ve got to find a way to get her nails cut down. We’ve tried everything from the day. I brought her home. I guess I’m gonna have to come up with the money to take her to the vet and have her sedated. I’m not happy about it. I can tell you that.

Regarding trimming of nails... I saw a video clip on pinterest where the owner put a sheet of sandpaper on a board and showed the dog how to scratch the board. She made a game of it where she would scratch then the pup would scratch.
Just a suggestion.

That’s how she got me. Two different times! She literally aims for my hand, even though she gets a treat every time she uses the board. This time I wasn’t even holding it. She reached out sideways and got me. She’s very bad about batting with her front feet and I am beginning to suspect it’s why she kept winding up back in the pound

Can you put socks on her paws?

Probably not without getting cut up. If I could do that, I could trim them. Plus, she’d have them off pretty quickly.
