Flock/Life Journey's 2019

Throwback Thursday~
Here is my TBT for this week. These were 14 chicks. I kept a special oddball, Rose. :love These chicks were sooo sweet. I took them outside everyday and caught grasshoppers, etc. for them. :wee But I decided they’d be better off elsewhere.(keep in mind, I hadn’t put together a “good” coop yet) My uncle wanted them... and he has taken great care of them. They’re all alive to this day! :woot Here they are as babies and now at his house. :)

Will do! Yes IKEA is a total maze! After the restaurant I got on the elevator thinking it was the exit.. it took me to another place, but the best part is I discovered these plastic bins that were only $7 and big enough to house a pair of button quail :) I can't wait to go back and get them when we move, no space for them here now. The lid is another $3 but I read that I can just use clothes pins. I want to be as cost effective as possible so that DH will be more supportive when I need to get more bins for more button quail.

Oh my! I am always saving spiders too. Charlotte, Spiderman, that itsy bitsy spider, who wouldn't?

But ahh the bird had to get it, reminds me of the saying, the early bird gets the worm so the worm should've stayed in bed, but that's not really an option when they are at work where other people might get to them.

Hmm my emoticons aren't working today.

LOL I had a roommate named Shayla that HATED spiders..now I know a Kayla that despises them.

Goodness gracious..how is the weather now? I hope you and others in that part of Australia are okay.

Congrats! Must be exciting to sell eggs.

I love her mahogany red colour.


He was beautiful! Glad he went to a good home.

Ooh I see Silver Laced Wyandotte and Gold Laced, black Australorp? Barred Rock or Dominique? And the lil' silver sebright.
The sebright, barred EEs, GLWs, and Black Australorps. :)

I need to go to IKEA at some point. I want a tall lamp to go behind my lounge in the lounge room so you dont need to have a big light on when your just chilling or watching some tv.

We are ok at the moment. It was raining last night but not sure how much rain we got. I woke up this morning and the weather station said 0.9mm but that would have been from 12pm last night and I heard it raining around 11am so I will look this afternoon.

How are you love?
 
For Throw Back Thursday I am doing it on my ol' pup Cookie.

Back in 2011 when I stepped outside of work for fresh air a tiny applehead chihuahua come over to me. I was able to take her home and looked online at craigslist and the shelter's lost and found book to see if anyone was looking for her. I did that for about a week and nothing..anyways I got really attached to her and one day I thought she was missing..my mom and I looked for her everywhere and finally found her in the pillowcase..yes she went into the pillow and slept in the pillow case. She was full grown but about the size of a puppy, an actual teacup chihuahua. We named her lucky because my mom and grandma said when dogs come into your life it's a sign of luck. Well Lucky went missing for good one day.

I missed Lucky so much I decided I needed a white and tan chihuahua just like her. I looked online and found a puppy for sale for $200 but it was a boy and didn't have shots and wasn't neutered. I looked again and found at California's Kern County Animal Control there was the highest kill rate at the state (at the time, not sure about now) and I saw a 6 month old puppy that resembled her. She was a deerhead which is better anyway because they can breathe better.

I called the shelter and they told us to come see the puppy. We drove 4 hours there only to be told we couldn't take her home because she wasn't spayed. So 2 weeks later we went back and we were able to take her home. She was only $60 and had shots, microchip and was spayed. On the way home someone called my by mistake asking for a person named Cookie. Then I decided we should name her Cookie, after all she did come from Bakersfield. We think she was abused because she was shaking a lot and had incontinence issues but we housetrained her. She loved riding in the car with my mom. Cookie was a great dog, she killed one of my chickens but never touched a chicken after that. It might have been because she was flogged down by a broody hen and the muscovy ducks really scared her off.

On February 23, 2014 after meeting with 2 of my friends for bubble tea I drove home and saw her dead in front of our house...someone must've left the door open and she dashed out and got hit by a car.

RIP Cookie.
