How does Mrs. BY Bob feel about pigs? My friend just had a litter born, they'll be ready in 8 weeks...

A year this month. Look what you started. I have no idea how I came across this thread, buts it's fun! I should bring my old pals over. Ahem..well, old and young. I do go into the olds folks home. Good ol friends in there that have been on BYC as long as me, if not a bit longer. The things that have happened through the years! Some happy, some very sad. BYC folks come to your relief aid in many different ways. I lost a Golden Retriever in the most odd way years ago. I told the story on one of the threads. A gal says, send me a photo of your favorite with him, I'll draw a picture. Wow. Beautiful. I can't find the real photo..Ive had three Golden's throughout my life. This was Toby.View attachment 2510017 Another sad thing...I had a mentally handicapped sister that I talked about on a thread because she was having a tough time doing Dialysis. She had literally drowned when taken to a Lake by caregivers in the home she was staying in. Thank heavens for a gal that happened to be there that day, she gave Lisa CPR, brought her to. Well, a gal on the Old Folks thread..not old.. ..made her a quilt! Lisa's favorite thing..cats. She made the cutest cat quilt. Lisa took that quilt into a couple of homes with her. She got moved a couple of times once she stated dialysis. First photo at my home, second in the last care home she was in. View attachment 2510028View attachment 2510027 Our Lisa was brought home last March because she didn't want to do dialysis any more. Couldn't blame her, the fishulas kept clotting, long story short, Soo many surgeries. Brought her home, Hospice brought a bed into our living room, she passed 5 weeks later. They had told me it would only be a few days..hard the last couple of weeks, but glad we had her longer than expected. Still missing her. . I will keep that quilt forever. She loved it. I don't want to end on a sad note. I just wanted to share how incredibly loving people can be on this site! I get regular birthday cards, Christmas cards, or just because from another gal. I got a chicken swing from another. Too cute. Private messages when someone wanted to give help in some way..personal..or chicken related. I've also given a bit of advice. . Or condolences to others. Love BYC folks. This is the friendliest .. cleanest blog I've come across ever. A great Community. I heard someone mention Favorell. I'll find a photo of my bantam girl..made a great mom!

Hi Cynthia, I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful sister. Losing a sibling is shocking. What a beautiful quilt to remember her by, I still have some of my brother’s T-shirts, a jumper and his cat.

Another Golden Retriever fan! They the best dogs and great at giving love attacks. So much enthusiasm and love.

We used to puppy raise for the Guide Dogs for the Blind. We raised 3 Labradors and 3 GRs. Our favourites were the GRs. Our best girl ever, Stella, came back to us when she retired. I’ll post a pic when I’m next on my computer.

I saw a golden retriever once, taking his teddy for a walk. It made my day!

A Snowy Day Project

I new that I would be mostly locked in the house today so I planned a chicken project. I have been wanting to memorialize the chickens that have passed on somehow. Yesterday I finally found a frame suitable to the task. Today I selected and printed the photos and devised the words. I think it came out pretty well.

The sentiment is based upon a Ronny Millsap song. Here are the words.

Our paths will never cross again
Maybe our hearts will never mend
But we’re glad for all the good times
Cause you've brought us so much sunshine

We wouldn't trade one memory
Cause you meant so much to we
Even though we lost you all
We wouldn't have missed it for the world

This is beautiful Bob. I love the comb and feather colours against the black and white.

I make them jump for all kinds of foods. One of the best things this past year was watching Sydney jump up to get grapes off of our grapes vines this fall when they were ripe. At first I could not figure out what she was doing. Then it came to me, she was picking grapes.

Lucy used to strip the blueberry bush before they were fully ripe.

Your girls sound as animated as my Spazzy girl does!

I don’t know if you have read all the way through Bob’s thread and saw the time my Faverolles went exploring the neighbour’s front yard. Nyssa, who’s at the bottom of the pecking order, led three of us on a merry chase before catching her. I was tempted to rename her ‘Dora the Explorer’!

Sounds like a good name for her, lol! Look at that face... So far Spazzy hasn't escaped from the free range pen like some of my other girls have! I do wish that I had purchased a 2nd one...her personality is so fun!
