I let my gals run free this afternoon, digging in the leaves.... Eating heaven know what hahaha.

They like grass but prefer bugs they dig up - yummy

Betting they won't share

So open it & let them roost with the big girls.

Risky

Risky

Why is it risky? It's bedtime. Everyone's going to be asleep shortly.

Well we got some news about one of grandma's medications she has been on for years. When she had her first mild stroke about 5 years ago that thankfully left no side effects they put her on Plavix. She has been on the highest dose since the beginning. When we finally got to see her neurologist 2 1/2 weeks ago now he was surprised to find out she had been on that dose for so long and still had another stroke, along with the plague build-up in the arteries of her brain. He ordered a blood test because he said it was rare, only about 10% of the population have a genetic propensity to be resistant to Plavix. She had the test done and we went back today and found out that yup, she is one of those 10%. She has absolutely zero response to the drug. There is a new drug that works just like Plavix, but has not been involved with a study with Plavix so it is not the first thing that is tried. We have to get a PA for the insurance to approve it but hopefully by Wednesday she can start that new medication. It is a chance, but we now know that Plavix does nothing for her. Oh and this gene thing is hereditary, so if in the future me and mom ever have to go on Plavix we would have to be first tested to see if we would respond.

That's disturbing/promising. Disturbing that it took this long to find out, but promising that there is something else to try. Getting past the insurance, though....

Thanks. But “there’s a bathroom on the right”?

No need. Once the lights go out they all settle down. Even Bob's girls stop squabbling @ night.

Another weird thing about them is they have no interest in treats.
They are not normal!

Try crumbled cornbread.

I imagined them knocking on the door the other way round. Knocking to get back to their customary roosting place.

@RoyalChick let them in. Especially as B climbed up there. I'd let them come and go until they decide to join the big girls roost.
