BYC Café

Yeah, I imagine that is awful!! Thankfully, we’ve never had that happen not anyone I know and I think it’s a pretty fast recovery when it does happen? So I’m not too worried but I totally understand why most choose to remove them.

It really depends on the activity level of the dog. If they are the type that run, bound and jump over logs and branch piles and such, the risk of such an injury increases exponentially over the only leash walked dog.

Good morning Café. Brisk and cloudy - a bit of snow on the way.

Good morning, Cafe. It's 12F and the poop is frozen to the boards. I broke my metal cat litter scoop trying to chisel it off.
It's warming up to 25F today so there's little hope of a proper cleaning of the coop until things thaw. The chickens don't seem to care.

And yeah I think a lot of people forget about that nail since it’s kind of out of the way so it can curl over/into the leg and cause problems.

Same with the extra toe on Faverolles, at least on mine. That nail never touches the ground so it doesn't get worn down.

BIT!?

I guess you don't want to know how sheep are/were sometimes castrated.

Depending on your time zone, I’ve got meals for every occasion.

Given you posted at 3 AM, you likely didn't know if you wanted a late night snack or breakfast!

Morning Cafe and thanks for the 2nd cup of coffee (my 1st cup was a long time ago).

How early do you typically get up, Debby?

It varies...some where between 2am and 5am. I'm definitely more of an early bird than a night owl.

I think getting up at 2 AM MAKES you a night owl! It is clearly REALLY night at that time.

Not when I fall asleep at 9pm!

Should I tell everyone how dramatic Molly is when I trim her nails I have to pin her with my legs because she's the most dramatic baby ever! 10 years of this and she's not leaving this Earth any time soon!

She bites the groomers so I stopped bringing her to them because she can't wear a muzzle due to her flat face (pug) and them trying anything can seriously damage her breathing. Plus she has idiopathic epilepsy and too much stress can cause it... Welcome to life with Molly
