Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

This is a cool trick, our bodies really are quite amazing. For Arrhythmia and Tachycardia a bag of frozen peas on the forehead, sudden exposure to cold, or dunking your head face first into cold water can help snap you out of it. Triggers for a mammalian dive reflex that actually pauses your heart for a moment and can help it return to a normal rhythm.

Cider vinegar in water has helped me more times than I can count, in desperate times I just used malt vinegar...
I will try the bag of peas as well now. Thank you

I had close to that at the weekend - I had 3 of the 4 all decided at the same time they wanted to sleep on me at night. They all picked a spot (I was unable to move of course) and settled in purring away. Very lovely.

I got a little guy purring on my knee right now

It's good to plan ahead. I got caught unawares by our heat wave last week. I need to get better prepared for the next one. I'm glad it is going to be beautiful this week for them, and me.

That reminds me to put ice cubes in the freezer, it was a scorcher today

That story is right up there with the story of my honeymoon. There is no way you leave them once you go through that together.

Nor would you want to leave mrs. Bob. If nothing else she's a great cook from what I can gather.

If I lived local I'm afraid she'd be stuck with me as a friend

I also took pictures today of Squirrels baby sister Creamy *formerly salty*. Since she's changing from snowball white mom decided Salt did not fit her anymore. The whole goal of the Butter x Drummie cross is to eventually get a hen with Butter's coloring but with Drumsticks feathered legs. I came so close with her.

And as soon as he spotted me outside with the camera, Drummie had to come strutting by so I would remember to take his picture too. He sure knows how to strike a pose.

O he is a handsome fellow!

Creamy looks Buff Orpington on the front and White Leghon on the back!

I keep all of my ice cubes in the freezer, don't you?

There are many who I think like her food more than us.

I don't always make ice cubes. It bothers me having no lid on the things. I'm a weird one Bob

Front Page Models

So I told my cover girls that they had made the front page. They were excited.

But not as excited as they were when they saw the walnuts I had with me.

Princess is trying to lay but isn't. Could it be this heat
