Progress report: The newbies spent some time out on the grass and ate freshly dug earthworms from our hands today. Not bad.

My tax:

Coco: Don't bother me if you don't have oatmeal on you.

Jumbo (left): I love this window view, but I am too fat to fly out. I think I will consider a diet next week.
Meimei (right): That was a nice bath. Should I do it again?

Foxy: Yes, YOU, I think you want to pick me up. Yes PLEASE!

Late Two 4 Tuesday submission

Had the veterinarian out to see my old horse Sally who has COPD. Note: do not try to shove a Ventolin puffer in your horses nostril and expect it to react nicely to the spray up the nose

Anywhoooo my Vet gave me oral GAP (guaifenesin, albuterol and prednisone) which went over much better

Two pictures of mother and daughters:

Blanche and Rose

Penelope and Dorothy

Two saucy silkies, Fluffy and Marty

To get a proper video I'm going to have to wear a headlamp out there tomorrow night.
Here are a few pictures of the hooligans at bedtime.

It's tough. I know Alex.

I still find myself looking for Lilly when I only count 4 hens outside, not to mention Sansa. And I have tried to block out Sylvie and Legertha completely like they never were. I never talk about them or even look at pictures of them.

These losses take time. One's like Patsy's seem easier to me. I was there for her like you were there for Rocks-Anne. I hope that helps but she will always be unforgettable to you.

I am like that with my dad, I just pretend that he is either in AZ in the winter with mum, or at work, or in Newfoundland with mum during the summer. Compete denial, otherwise I would bawl and bawl and bawl.... My old stallion also, just cannot talk about him or think of him or look at pics of him without bawling...

Ok now I need to run away, sorry for being a Debbie Downer

I just went out and grabbed Siri for some pictures. I had to resort to wrapping her up in a towel to keep her still. This is what I'm dealing with with her beak.

That’s similar to what my Barney looked like, the idea of the prosthetic beak is a great one, I wish I had thought of something like that. If she isn’t having issues eating them I would just concentrate on keeping everything as clean as you can

I understand, not a day goes by that I don't think about my dad. I push the cancer patient out of my mind and remember the guy that thought it was funny to try to put a snake on me
