I'm fixing to go to sleep. Hopefully I can fall asleep.

Tonight the cats get locked in the laundry room!

Sometimes they decide to fight about who gets to sleep on top of me. They certainly can't both share and snuggle in the prized spot! That would be too nice and easy.

I'm still awake from yesterday. I did get about an hour nap this morning. I can not believe I'm still awake. I'm almost done doing real life things for they day. I have a feeling I will crash for a long while soon.

I could absolutely take a nap right now.

Sunday I took a nap and it was glorious. We were supposed to wake up at 4, and we slept til 6. Fiance doesn't take many naps on weekends, so it was even more enjoyable to get one in! (Weekends are only time I have to take a nap lol!)

I haven't taken a nap since my last pregnancy.

Aw that hits close to home. My baby boy is 11 going on 2 haha. He’s such a light in my life, I hate thinking of how dull it’ll be when he’s gone. I always think of his “wife” as the baby, but I realized the other day she’s 9! Stop growing up, dogs.

Mine are only 2 and 3, but Ruger has such a gray muzzle for a 3 year old (he takes after his mama, I'm 31 and my hair is growing out gray - thanks grandma! She was full white haired at 30). And I keep wondering when they grew up ... I got Ruger when he was 7 weeks old, and Emmy at 4 months old. Doesn't seem that long at all. And don't know what I'd do without either one of them. My first Shepherd growing up lived to be 14 (believe if lyme disease hadn't settled in her kidneys she would have continued on for a few more years - and it's also why my dogs get a lyme vacc. and I hate seeing ticks on/near them!), and I hope these two are just as lucky to have such a long life.

Almost time to go home for the weekend. Auction tomorrow to try and get some quail or specific breed chicken eggs to hatch. Going to go for a full-incubator this time instead of 3 staggered batches. Don't think I mentioned it the other day, but we were checking why the incubator smelled bad, and took out one of the hatched chicks, when a 2nd one popped right out of it's shell in front of us and started peeping away. My level of excitement was like a little kid seeing Santa.

@KikisGirls what's your timing like for a real batch of quail eggs? How long does it take quail to grow big enough to eat? Is this something you can do year round? Do you let the quail go broody and hatch the eggs so that you can increase your numbers?

Love all the dog talk, ...reminds me of my white GSD Zach, adopted from rescue at 18 mo- he lived to be 14.

This would be a good time to say @Tesumph love ur artwork!

An artist friend of mine now also deceased drew this portrait of Zack for me.

I started a new thread for dog talk about all the great dogs we've ever come to know...
