Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I think said goat is large enough that kitty must accept it.

It’s not often that cats learn their place!

I general they determine their own place in most cases.

These are some of your best! Action shots to boot!

No~one was being very co~operative, especially the frizzles. Olivia informs me they are tired of the jokes. What does she expect when she looks like that?!

Warning... I’m going to owe SOoooo much chicken taxes for this!!! Here’s a quick Fluffy butt instead of the heavy opinions below

Spoiler: Illicit drug rant here

I’m not a fan myself, despite living the the pot capital of Canada. Especially of the harder drugs. We are in the midst of a fentanyl overdose crisis.

Legalizing it has reduced the strain on our justice system somewhat. It also slightly reduced one of the income streams for organized crime, and made offers a safer unadulterated source for users. Honestly I don’t see it as much more damaging than some other legal substances, Alcohol and cigarettes are just as bad. I’ll stick to beer and scotch personally, thanks.

What I would really like to see is more funding and effort from our government towards treating mental health and addiction, rather than just relying on various religious and volunteer organizations to do the actual work on the frontlines trying to help people struggling with these issues. If a fraction of what has been spent on Covid awareness and the huge government subsidies had been directed towards this, we could have almost eliminated the problems with homelessness, addiction, and untreated mental illnesses.

Further tax payment will be coming once this weather passes and my chickens will actually go outside again. 80kmph winds, sub zero (Celsius, I know, we are wimps) temperatures and the related RV boondocking issues with this, don’t ask, you don’t want to know... just accept things are a little more “uncomfortable” here at the moment. Everyone is ok, and we got our truck running again! (Oxygen sensor and fuel filter...)

Indeed. She is lucky Phyllis hasn't weighed in yet.

I had not really noticed before that Ha'penny has a striped (barred) butt. Very classy!

Aww, looks like Arduenna and kitty (name?) are friends now!

It’s a grudging truce by the heater... but that has ended as we raised the heater after it malfunctioned... all part of the you don’t really want to know windchill boondocking issues. All 5 of us were snuggled in bed the next morning and I was the one who finally got out and found the heater problem it was -2C inside the trailer yesterday morning

Sounds like a wonderful way to spend your day.
