I have to say that I've got the world's laziest Rhodesian Ridgeback. He "plays" with the chickens through the pen fence, but all he really wants is their food! My Airedale terrier, however, got 2 of my first pullets (grumbling about stupid humans!). She definitely typifies the terrier group...
My Buff, Ginger, is generally pretty quiet (except for egg-laying, of course), but she does mutter and purr (yes, she really purrs). Since I got her in trade for a beautiful but LOUD BC Marans roo, I'm not sure if she was a hatchery chick or not. I will say that she's quite a Mama's girl...
Oh yeah, after a while, it doesn't matter what color your hair is. Mine's red at the moment, but I have at least 2-3 blonde moments a day. Ironically, my DD is a true blonde, a tweenager and a drama queen. Guess who still takes the blonde crown?! I just call them brain-toots, and try to...
Friday is right at a year old. It doesn't seem to matter what the weather or season is... wonder if I added some chocolate to her diet.... (just kidding! Those chocolate easter eggs are mine, ALL MINE)
Does anyone else's dark egg-layers "run out of ink or toner?" My BC Marans seems to cycle between a beautiful, dark chocolate brown egg and a rough, pink-y brown one. (with the full gamut of in-between!) The girls' diet is pretty consistent, layer crumbles, oyster shell, free-range in the...
Hhmmm... this has been fun reading! Just to bump it back a bit: I have heard some describe Heathen as those who follow/practice the old Germanic/Norse religions (yes Pagan). And BTW, the pagan Celts gave the Catholics (St) Brigit. She was supposedly in cahoots (read bed, LOL) with (St)...
Eek! Pogo needs a new name... I feel your pain (literally). I have the opposite problem. I had a really big brainless moment (or 5) and got a standard poodle a few months ago. I do my own grooming too. But I'd never had a poodle with a true "show coat" before. Cotton coat I can deal with...
Yup, gorgeous Tabby (I agree, Classic). If he has an "M" on his forehead between the eyes, that really clinches it. He's a real beauty, you've been a wonderful "mom". Enjoy him while you still have him, and know that there are plenty of tabbies out there when the time comes to fill your arms...
It's that don't show up at all that really gets me. Is it really that difficult to hit the buttons on the phone or the computer? I know 4 of these moms a little bit, and their sense of entitlement is truly jaw dropping. (sigh) Guess I'm bringing down the neighborhood with my old-fashioned values.
Good Dog! Have a whole tin of cookies! Glad she didn't get sprayed- peew. Just out of curiosity, what is a patterdale? I've got an Airedale, is it a mix?
Hello all you lovely feathered creature caretakers,
I haven't been on in a while, but I'm sure you're all busy too. I just need to vent, and you're such great sounding boards and laugh inducers that I'm doing it here. I volunteer at the middle school library for 2 hours (lunch) 1 day a...
Wow, the drama, Mama! Deb, so glad Ken is doing well and is home. My MIL actually has a stent at the point where that artery splits, so I understand the nail biting you've been doing. Luckily cardiology has come a long way, and Ken was seen soon enough to make a difference. If you haven't...
For a second I thought SCA meant SportsCars of America LOL. (Then I remembered properly...) Not a member, but I do enjoy watching y'all at Ren Fairs and Irish Fest/Scottish Fest. And I LOVE your avatar Graia! (The raven visits me often)
OMG the memories! The president of my church youth group would take a bunch of us to the midnight showing every other week or so. The theater was in an appropriately seedy part of town, and we all dressed up and brought the requisite props (I was Columbia, complete with mouse ears and bustier)...
