Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[micstrachan]

Good afternoon everyone.
I have some sad news to report today. Last night I lost little Athena to a monster Raccoon. It was after midnight and the chickens out of the blue started screaming their heads off. By the time I got my shoes on and out the back door I spotted it packing Athena's body towards the creek bank. Thankfully my dogs were right behind me and they tree'd the evil beast in the mimosa tree. He is no more and will never have another chicken dinner. To make it worse I woke up this morning to also find that overnight for no reason I can find the smallest of Chiquita's leghorn babies passed as well. I am at a complete loss with that one. I have to think there was something wrong with it because it was noticeably smaller then the others and the only one who had yet to manage to fly out or in the tote on it's own. I buried Athena and the leghorn together beside Daisy. The evil raccoon did not deserve to be buried, he is in a garbage bag to be picked up Monday morning. Poor Ducky is beside herself. Athena was her partner in crime and she has looked for her all day. In a day or two she will be alright. Perdita and Grackle have been trying to hang out with her and she will for a time. Then she splits off and goes back to searching for Athena.

Oh, this is sooo sad! Poor Ducky! Poor Athena. Poor you!

No ponies, but look what I found in the nest box! Well, under...but I made a nest area there, so good enough! I don't know whether it was the golf balls or moving their eggs and leaving them, but we finally have success!

Okay... I don't think that you guys are ready for this pony spam of pictures!! This handsome bay is Dash. Before my instructor bought him, he was badly abused. Before my instructor moved to this new barn, you could hardly touch him without him freaking out. Now, you can hug on him, and if he is feeling good, even a kiss on his velvet soft nose. My instructor ( I will call her K so that way I don't just say 'my instructor") bought him for $400. That is the price of a saddle. Now he has a Mustang buddy, Forest.

This handsome mustang is Forest. He can be ridden, but is stil green. He came from the Extreme Mustang Makeover.

Up next we have the boy I ride, Lenny. He is a 6 year old Welsh pony. He is about 13.1 hands. He was very frisky today. He did not stand still for a moment!

Here we have most of the boys. Crooks, Lindor, Scout, Ruben, and one more I think. Oh, and Skye.

Now we have Lenny's pasture mate, Prince. He was a very wild mustang when K first got him. No once could touch or go near him. Now, after being sent to a horse trainer, he is tame, and you can ride him.

Finally, we have Pippa. Pip is the pony that I used to ride up until my last show on her in November. I won 2nd place with her in that show! She is a Shetland pony.
