FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

[chics in the sun]

So sorry to hear that, Maye. She sounds like she was a very special horse.

I've got an itch I gotta scratch! A hatching itch. Anyone got Brahma eggs around Tampa Bay? Let me know.

On May 10th my friend Josh will be attending a hearing at the St.Pete City Council that will involve a vote to change the law that says a neighbor's complaint can automatically make you have to get rid of your chickens. He has four our of the five votes needed, and is pretty confident he can get one more, but would like a show of support in case we need to argue for the change. It is on the schedule for May 10th at 3pm, so if any of you can make it (I know there are only a few others from St.Pete on here, but spread the word!) it would be great. Save the chickens!

The back story on Josh is that he had a lovely flock of 8 or so chickens, and when his new jerky neighbors bought the house they complained to the city BEFORE THEY EVEN LIVED THERE TO KNOW IF THE CHICKENS WOULD BOTHER THEM. So he had to sell his flock, and work toward changing the law. I told him to get guinees. Or a big parot.

I am so so very sorry Maye.. I know you dearly love and care for your animals deeply.. I also know that animals know when they are loved and cared for. I am sure she greatly appreciated you

Hi All,
Sorry I haven't been on. I lost my old friend last night. I got home from work after 7:00pm and went out to feed. Found my old brood mare dead, she was still warm so it must of happened just before I got home. She was a Rocky Mountain Horse and one of the original foundation mares for the RMHORSE Breed. She was at least 26-28 years old. Born on a mountain and certified as a foundation mare when she was an adult, so not sure what year she was foaled. Looked like an heart attack (no thrashing). Looked like she base a peaceful death. I sure will miss my Bridget girl.... She was my 14.2-16 hand girl.
Thank-you for a wonderful time in my life Bridgie, and for BayBaby her daughter who will carry on your legacy. I will meet you again at the Rainbow Bridge my friend.
Maye
