Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

For those of you who believe in the power of prayers please pray for my grandmother. We talked to her on the phone around 8 last night and she was is a great mood. Around 9:30 she called and said she thought we needed to come down as she'd gotten dizzy, had fallen twice and her sugar was almost 400. Me and mom get there and she is still on the floor in front of her couch. We get her up and check her sugar and it was indeed 384. She was a little weak on her left side but she has mobility issues that have been progressively getting worse over the last few years so it was not a huge red flag just yet, especially with her sugar that high. We stayed and me and mom got on another cleaning spree while trying to get her sugar down and it was just not happening. About 3:30 this morning we noticed she started slurring some of her words slightly and the left side of her mouth was starting to droop. She refused at that point to let us take her to the hospital when she had enough strength left to make it to the car. At 5:30 this morning her left side pretty much gave out which is when under protest we called 911. MRI confirmed she has had a stroke, but there is not blood clots or hemorrhaging on the brain. The doctor said if she had to have a stroke it was the best one to have if there is such a thing. They also discovered that besides the congestive heart failure that she has been in for about 10 years she now also has atrial fibrillation. Finally got home about 20 minutes ago and going to crash for a few hours and then head back to the hospital.

Sending my thoughts to her and your family

I found acv helped to keep sugar levels down (lovely in salads) and a bit of spice taken regularly seriously helped my heart condition. I even put it in baked beans

How much chopped steak can a little Pullet eat anyways? Coco (the nut) wants the whole pan I cooked for the chooks. View attachment 3032623

Where's my mushrooms

They eat the greens/leaves.

I got no chance of trying them, my lot eat them up right away

I do not wish to have dandelions so I'm fine. I need them to start working over the front yard it's loaded with them!

I'll send my girls over, they will clear them in no time

6 in one night! Looks like a corn cob works even better than peanut butter on a can!

Cheetah's getting better with his courtship. Only one I haven't seen him with now is Pear. She's a tough one. Rusty had to work for it with her too.

That's awesome! A better mouse/rat trap . I have seen similar traps that work on the same principle. Simple and elegant design.

But what do you do with a bucket full of mice?
