Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

All of this made me cry ....

Me too.

I'm upset with myself. I was trying to let everyone know how lucky I was to have Maleficent choose to spend time with me and I turned it into this. I really have a hard time with Daisy's (greatest hen ever) loss. @Ribh is right. It is still raw. I think celebrating her life might be a good way to heal. I am definately going to do that. I'm sorry everyone for bringing the thread down.

Someone did have a thread going for a while but it seems to have disappeared.

I could not read it. It made me cry too much. I just couldn't

I read; couldn't contribute.

It is lovely I think when animals & humans bond closely. I find it uplifting though loss is always sad.

To feel real joy is to risk real pain. There is not one without the other. I accept that. It is why we still have hens and I got to meet Maleficent. I am blessed. I know that.

Oh, I hear ya... I saw a thread yesterday where someone posted a video of a bobcat killing every hen in the coop while they roosted... I. Did. Not. watch!!! Just the screen pic and others people’s comments almost made me sick to my stomach ... I recommend not going over to the predator thread... it’s very depressing...

That is beautiful... I may steal those first two quotes...

Yeah, I saw that but wouldn't watch. I know it gives me nightmares so I save my soul!

I have had to limit myself to mostly uplifting threads. I tend to stay on pictures and stories. If I see something posted in the new posts where I might be able to help I will chime in. I used to be everywhere. Some of the stories are too sad for me.

And some are just cruel. No need for that. I can't do those either.
