Thank you and I'm glad your dogs are okay!

I'm lucky in that Toki won't eat big objects (toys, socks, etc), but he does unfortunately have bad reactions to things most dogs could eat with no problems. I'm pretty sure he ate a mushroom while chasing rabbits and it didn't sit well. It was scary because he's never had that severe of a reaction before. He's on his last day of the prescription bland diet, but I'm looking into changing his regular food to something similar to this i/d stuff he's been on. He's done really well on it and is back to acting like himself again.

So glad to hear he's doing better.

So the day after I received chicks from My Pet Chicken I was at Tractor Supply and they had chicks. Couldn't resist picking up one more (we don't have any EE!) She was supposedly only two days younger than my other chicks. Well they have all grown a ton and are doing great, but Matilda is still tiny! She's eating, drinking, and very active, but is now getting picked on I assume because she's not growing. Do EE chicks grow slower, or are chicks sold at feed stores not as healthy? She doesn't seem to mind the extra attention, but I'm starting to worry!

As long as she is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, she is probably fine. Chickens all grow differently and different breeds are just that. EE's are mixtures of different breeds. (Like a box of chocolates, Forest.)

Headed up to Estes Park for the evening, so we came up through Lyons last night, did not know there was a Blue Grass Feztival this weekend. It was crazy trying to get through town.

The rain was nice, and the scenery was beautiful. As we rose in altitude we eventually entered the clouds.

Driving by Hermit Park last night.

Little visitor caught me getting a drink at the kitchen sink this morning. By the time I got my phone, it was back next to its mommy.

We were visited at lunch today by 4 wild turkeys. Apparently wild turkeys like apples & pizza.

They are lounging under a couple of pine trees behind the cabin. Every time I go outside they perk their heads up and twitter at me.

Re-homed my roo yesterday. I hope the guy was truthful to me and he is really going to a small farm in Erie. I actually got a hit off my CL posting after two weeks. Now I think I will look for another hen about the same age as the two I have left and add to the flock.

Yesterday we watched a deer and the turkeys chase each other around the back of the cabin for about 10 minutes or so. I'd never seen that...crazy hilarious.
