Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

All 3 were trying to lick my face so it took 15 minutes to do a 3 minute job.

I bet! My four horses like to 'help' when I do fencing, the move the boards around, drag the hammer off... Hahaha

I caught princess and Tina fluffy bottom too bottom in the communal nesting box today. They have four but those two was trying too push each other out. Tina won and Princess laid her egg outside so everyone shared princesses egg before bed.

Yesterday she tried hatching Tina's egg. I give up

Hahaha what characters

Well, blowups from yesterday and this morning led to grandma going home. We did not take her she called one of her brothers and her nephew. Told them both if they did not come she was calling the police as we were keeping her prisoner. They got here and tried to reason and talk her out of it to no avail. She said if she could not stay by herself she would sell out and go to a nursing home but she hated us and would not stay 1 more minute. Her dr is useless and told us if she would not willingly go to a nursing home she had to be back in the hospital before he would put her in one. Fine, I give it a week before she is back in the hospital or worse. He also said he could not legally stop her from going home and if she called the law he would have to side with her.

Oh Rebecca how stressful.

But it may be a good next step, if she goes home and can't cope then she will end up back in emergency, and a psychological assessment can be done.

Unfortunately it might then mean that she will have to go into a long term care facility. Or it could be the push she needs to show her that she cannot cope on her own.

Of course there is a third option that's could occur, she may do fine and cope fairly well if she has some daily support - are there family members that can take turns daily making sure she eats and takes her meds???

My back is still hurting, so I have my emotional support rooster in with me. Every time I snap a picture, he closes his eyes just in time:View attachment 3156185

Mine do that also

When she left she told me and mom in front of everyone that she did want to see either one of us again and we were not welcome down there anymore. That may change in a few days I hope. After she was gone I made something very clear to mom, I was not willing to try to keep her here anymore, it was a nursing home from this point forward. Tomorrow would have made 3 months she was here. During that time I have dropped 32lbs, my blood pressure is elevated and the constant stress has had my own blood sugar levels ping ponging. There have been some days where I have ate nothing and can not get my blood sugar levels down and some days I cannot keep it up into normal range. My doctor even put me on a new medication to help deal with the stress and I can tell it is helping a little but there is no magic pill to make everything better. After she left I went out and grabbed Branch. Me and him laid on my bed and watched 2 episodes of Dr. Pol together. That little rooster snuggled right up to me and did his rooster purr the entire time.

Apologies everyone. I can tell I will bore you all with pictures. I can’t help it, I am having such a lovely day sitting outside with all the Princesses hanging out with me.

Everyone in one shot and nobody attacking anyone!

But then deciding a nap in the sun would be better for her vitamin D levels.

It's been absolutely awful, but the worst behind you now

I am painfully familiar with the help (and criticism) I get from both chickens and cats - I can only imagine how hard it is if your help is something the size of a horse!

I do think watching Dr Pol with a rooster is probably pretty good therapy.

You did all that you could do for her. (Emotional support roosters do work!) great job Branch!
