Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

There are naked cats that allergic people have. Very strange but beautiful in their own way. SHRA?

Here is my youngest's Cornish Rex trying out the new chicken coop frame. She is not entirely hairless....

But I think the Sphinx is.

I don’t know how you reference things like this so quickly, but thank you Bob. I can’t believe she’s still alive! Here I’ve been complaining about the sheep that was trapped for at least 4 days under the collapsed stairs of the vineyard that no one thought to look for. How I missed her I don’t know. 14 days without food or water, just a tiny bit of grass, no light... she looks worse than when I rescued her. I searched the whole area, and the woods up past their favorite dust bathing spot I never thought to flip the plastic feed bowl. I feel so stupid.

Animals can get themselves into the worst scrapes. They are as bad as toddlers

I want to think that. I have no way of knowing but when it was time, her and Patsy lay together under the magnolia tree until she was gone. I will ever forget that. it was so sweet. I always tear up thinking about it.

When it was Patsy’s time, I returned the favor and held her while she passed, keeping her comfortable and letting her know she was loved.

Oh @BY Bob Patsy was the first of your losses I shared reading through this thread in December and it still makes me tear up. There has been many more since in this community (Mal being one of them and most recently Tsuki) and my heart breaks each time for the tenders that have felt so keenly the loss of one of their flock (tribe? )
I wish I had have been a part of this chicken loving family when Penny passed last November

Should a, could a, would have. You are not alone

How do I say this, without hurt feelings ?
Ah, shut up!

I think this is what you mean Alex.

Thank you everyone for you kind thoughts and support.

The worst part was the suddenness. There was no time to get used to the idea that I may lose her. She was just suddenly really unwell.

Here she is being uniquely herself. Repelling all boarders from the coop (Except for Deana).

On a related note, Hubby tells me that it was very quiet in the coop when he let everyone out this morning.

I loved your lady too . Even from afar

Not quite, but very close!

Weird. This new format is not showing photos or even hot links on the posts, but the photos show up in my reply when I quote them.

Anyone else having this problem?

Reminds me of a time, when I was a popular engineer at Disneyland resort and my daughter had a birthday. I took her to work, and they made a special production (as only Disney could) private room in the auditorium, two waiters, one chef. And the best treat my daughter ever had , besides the horse I bought her.

I am planning to have a talk with Blanche tomorrow. I need to explain to her that she is going to have to step up her social media presence from now on.
