I'm delighted to report great progress in the battle of the crusty butt!
One week ago today after her first soak and scrub.

Today. 20 minutes soaking and 10 minutes gently scrubbing. The edges of the crusty tissue had softened and started to come loose from healthy tissue beneath.

I gently tugged at the edges and snipped off what I could. I stopped when I made her bleed accidentally (@ 2:00 on the butt dial).

My lovely patient, Seneca, after her blow dry. She kept trying to fly up on the bathroom counter and I kept blocking her and reminding her, "there's no flying in bathrooms!"

Properly floofed and ready to return to the flock.

Do you think you'll be able to get all the necrotic stuff off?

Good evening Cafe.
Glass of water anyone? Butane has just run out.
I've got the kettle on the wood burner if you want to wait a bit.
Lovely day here.

Beautiful!

Do you get your butane filled up by a truck that drives up the mountain, or do you carry smaller containers down to the village?

Butane or propane @Shadrach .. our house runs on propane

I've got jets for both Penny but it's running Butane at the moment.....or rather it was.

25 kg bottles. We normally have a couple spare but, well you know, Covid and travel restrictions and a bad memory.

We have a pair of 20 gallon we run off takes long time to go through one

Could do with a proper tank here. In the winter the bottles don't last long and it's just the cooker and hot water. Heat is from the wood burner.

yes! I've gotten used to back up provisions, but used last of my laundry detergent this morning. Don't know how it happened

we heat with wood stove, propane for cooking stove and an electric hot water heater.
