Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

“Blow men”? Okay gonna have to look that one up.

She’s right. Blow men are a plastic bag shaped like a man with a fan on the base.
(Other definitions available, but not from me!)

I can't remember what they are called - tube men maybe - like car dealerships have huge ones.

And you made me look it up?

How's she doing Loz?

Ok I think. She’s been off the Triple C for precisely one week, she’s still chatty and asserting her authority. She’s not crowing though (maybe that’s a good thing?!) With the scratch mix she’ll only pick out the black seeds, but any protein offered, she gets stuck in.

And she’s growing back her elbow feathers too!

She is darling! Where have you been hiding her.

She's been here

I have posted the odd pic of her when I remember hahaha.

She is my pipeline kitty: one day on the Line 3 project I was chatting with our welding Inspector about our pets, I was lamenting about missing having a cat, my last cat had died a couple years prior. Next thing I know someone dropped a wee kitten on my desk.

'what is that?' I asked

'its a cat' was the cheeky reply from the guilty inspector (not the welding Inspector).

'oh a cat ok well were did you get it?' asks a skeptical me.

'well we heard you talking and figured you needed a pet...'

After some further interrogation he told me that one of the guys pulled into the construction yard and when he shut his truck down it was 'meowing'. They found the kitten up behind the passenger side headlight. The guys ended up calling her Mizz Georgette Bootsie.

And that is how I ended up with a cat from Brandon Manitoba hahahaha.

We flew home first class hahaha.

When I went to the airport in Winnipeg, I had her in her carrier as I was keeping her in the cabin with me. I put my carry-on onto the convertor to go through the x-ray machine. I had the carrier in my hands.

'ma'am you need to put the carrier through the xray'

'ok' I said and plopped the carrier onto the conveyor.

'ma'am you have to remove the cat'

'oh yep that's not happening! If she gets loose she will be gone forever!' I told the young security guy

'you can't send the animal through, it's against the rules' he said

'its ok she can go through, it can be a cat scan' I said very straight faced..... The guy in line behind me snickered laughing....

'i am sorry ma'am we cannot send the cat through the xray' he obviously had no sense of humour....

'well I am not taking her out of that case here in the open, come on she will be fine, it will be a good cat scan' I gave him another chance - buddy behind me was openly laughing now.

Nope still no humour hahaha.

Anyways another security person (who over heard us and was laughing) came by, taking pity on the poor young guy, and suggested I take the cat to a security room where I could hold the kitty, while they scanned the case.

And that is Kitty's story .

Dealerships have that huge blue gorilla. I have to go out and buy a car from a big blowup gorilla!

 

[Ponypoor]

A little better today. I'm sitting out with the girls right now. It's OK when the sun is shining but we had a thunder snow storm a little earlier and I had to go in.

A short time ago a red tailed hawk came by a little low but the crows ran it off.

It's so windy I have the BB gun with me today for protection. Hopefully I don't shoot my eye out.

Good grief! Yep don't do that!! We would have to call you one-eyed Bob glad you're a bit better.

Thunder snow we call it - that's really special! Very rare event, we r in store for up to 20cm - I am hoping not, I need the ground to freeze as it's going to be very very cold. If we get snow it will just insulate the ground preventing it from freezing.

I really need to get hay in and I need the ground frozen to so that. Got my fingers crossed for no snow!

 

[Ponypoor]

I am training the gals to come when I call them, I shake the treat container calling them, when they come toe they get treats - of course there is always 1 that just doesn't care!

But by the end of the day I have them all at least egg-cited about getting treats hahaha.

I want to ensure my mum can get them in if they get loose on her when I am not here.

Glad she is doing well.
