As some of you may know.. it is Mardi Gras season here right now... this is a golf cart parade that my sister and her husband are riding in! My brother in law made this Gator Cart... I thought he did a great job so I wanted to share!View attachment 2519217 I

Henrietta Mudd then?

That could work.

Remember though, you give 1 a last name, they will all want a last name.

Hello Coco!

 

[BY Bob]

Thank you. Thank you all! I’m just having the best time enjoying these new babies. And so far, I think they love me too. Pecking at my ears, my chin, snuggling up against me.

They sound just precious.

What a lovely photo. I love a good Tennessee walker too. I'd better since that is what the other 2 boys are. I'm glad your daughter had such a sweetheart to learn on. A bomb proof kid's horse are the unicorns of the horse world and worth their weight in gold. My dad and Rosie just left on a trail ride since its not miserable today. I expect them back in about 2 hours or so. She's always been a papaw's girl, but her favorite thing to do with him is riding.

Such beautiful tax payments.

I've been trying to get some more of the med kit things we've talked about. For lidocaine cream, there seems to be two kinds: for hemorrhoids and for use prior to getting tattoos. 4% or 5% seems popular. What do you all recommend? Is there a respected brand? And I found a styptic powder - for dogs - but it appears to have some benzocaine in it, which I now am thinking actually could be good, given that the amount one would use is very small.

@BY Bob I wonder if these would be helpful re our pain meds / topical pain meds discussion, if you haven't seen them already. They both seem to be adjunct materials to either a lecture or a course, but there's lots of references to studies that may be helpful. I don't get all the lingo, not by half, but I'm gathering that research into pain treatment in birds is really new.

These look very promising. I will add them to my literature review.

Thank you very much.

Great name! Super adorable!

Thank you. He got real sick last night. That coughing just wouldn't stop. Finally after a couple of hrs of it he fell asleep. Giving him cold meds..Nyquil. Coughing better today. Hope he gets some rest tonight.

I bet this is what I had over New Year's. I produced a large amount of output. Nyquil got me through it but it took a couple of weeks.

Prepared

We are expecting another 4 inches of snow tomorrow so I installed the temporary cover on the automated door.

I also got in a mini photo shoot with Phyllis, because, well, Phyllis.

Which is my best side, Left?

Or Right?

Her adoring fans watched on as Phyllis worked the catwalk.

The latest styles need to be flexible so you are gorgeous whether you are just out for a quick bite...

...or are planning on a formal meal

The well dressed hen is always ready to go out.

Tax
I seem to have been talking a lot about my house not my chickens. Here is my tax payment.

I liked learning about your house because it's so unusual. I particularly love the idea of walking past books as you pass from one room to the next. It sounds like being surrounded by wit and wisdom, and it also gives you an opportunity to view the spines and recollect the authors' thoughts
