➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Since we're talking dogs, here's our little nuisance. She's some sort of mutt with a prey drive bigger than all of Ontario. She spends her days sitting at the edge of the fence squealing at the birds and bouncing up and down.

Other than that, she is a good dog. I dislike needy, barky dogs, and she's neither of those. She loves getting petted, but if I tell her to shove off because I don't need my elbows licked right then, she will. I'd call her medium energy. If another dog is over, she will play for hours on end, long beyond when the other dog is exhausted, but other days she'll (mostly) behave in the house and get her energy out in non-annoying ways.

What's her name?

Zia.

She’s a real dog now for sure! We had some issues with roaming and little kids but she’s gotten better. Still hates thunderstorms though.

The dog above, my in-laws border collie, just got back from a kayak trip. I hear she was the life of the party with her little life vest and would sit perfectly at the front of the kayaks.
Clementine on the other hand wouldn’t be caught dead in the water, I’m positive she’s more cat than dog.

Actually going to sleep now. Goodnight!

I love that border collie too - what a great smile!!! Maybe I should look into one of those in the future.... Hmmm, things to ponder.

Zia.

Maybe Zia has some boxer in there... I've never seen playtime stamina like I've seen in boxers. It's amazing! She's also a lovely dog. Does she love the snow?

Hahahaha.... no. She hates it and anything under 50*F. She's a wuss.

Hah! That hilarious. Does she just not go out in Winter?

I shove her out, 'cause she's not going to pee in the house. She runs circles on the carpet for exercise.

Just like the chickens... they see snow and stop dead at the coop door. Pansies.

The chickens don't mind the snow, actually, and will trample paths to their favourite spots. It is funny to see first year pullets after their first snowstorm, though. They freak for a few days.
