know this dog well enough yet to be able to dis agree. DH is brushing him out, so he can get his bath. So I am going to go help.

 


Hope it goes well! It always takes time for a new dog to settle in, no matter where it comes from. You are all still getting used to one another, but things will come with time. smile.png

Oh and hatch day is tomorrow!!!   jumpy.gif  wee.gif

eggsiting stuff!!! 

ok well gotta get!

 

Oh BTW I found some very interesting hatching information on the Brinsea site!

 

It was about egg cooling during incubation! it is very interesting, and makes me not so worried about when my bator kept cooling down!! 

heres the link

 

http://www.epsaegypt.com/pdf/2011_june/15-%201271.pdf   

 

Hmm ok, not sure if that will come across as a link to click, if not you can go to Brinsea.com click on incubation topics and it's under egg cooling during incubation.

 

oh ok good looks like it did!!!!

Dang I think I may have heard somebody say something to that effect. It's only natural that the temps would drop when the hen gets off nest to eat and etc.

welcome-byc.gif          highfive.gif  yesss.gif  You have  come to the right place I KNOW Cloverleaf farm breeds  them. She is in Canby OR. There may also be others on here but I don't remember who.

Hey maybe you could go to the show in Monroe March 17. There will be lots of the people from here.

 

But I just can't understand why you would want any of these! Yes he is mine and is from Cloverleaf. Right now he is the only Sal Fav I have.

My SF girls, Ondine and Twila, need a handsome boyfriend like Fudge.  I would love to raise beautiful little yellow SF chicks again!  Some night I'm just gonna come down and "borrow" Fudge on a semi-permanent basis.  It's not rustling if I've let you know ahead of time, is it CR?

But isn't it nice to know that when she has a problem she still thinks of Mom right away? smile.png

 


Yes!  love.gif  I know it is a good parents role to raise independent children, but YES, I do still find it somewhat satisfying when she still needs me!  Crazy, isn't it?

I met a lot of great people today, and I was helped by so many people through out the day. I was doing very well until, this afternoon, I must have hit my limit, because I got more disorganized and forgetful. I lost my boarding pass twice, and I left my cell phone in the rental car. I had to go all the way back to the rental center to get the phone. I am pretty sure that I have been a dingbat for most of the day. I am grateful that I was able to get on an earlier flight, and I was able to get home about 10pm. I now hope that tomorrow will be better again. 

 

So here is Jet. He needs a bath really bad. He seems to love to have his picture taken.

He's spooky.

I had to always wear black or dark with my Black Labs, Bingo & Samantha (and all the poopy dogs) then I got together with DH & he had WHITE walls, carpet & chanpagne furniture.....UGH!!!!!!!

Then we moved & did bamboo floors thumbsup.gif and with Burgundy Oriental rugs.....so had giant whooly boogers which would rool across the floors, but easier to sweep up!

Then we got Magdalena Arrabella (yellow labradorian pup dog) who contrasted with the black clothes so we all had to switch to plaid !       lau.gif
