Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Apologies everyone. I can tell I will bore you all with pictures. I can’t help it, I am having such a lovely day sitting outside with all the Princesses hanging out with me.

Everyone in one shot and nobody attacking anyone!

But then deciding a nap in the sun would be better for her vitamin D levels.

Well, blowups from yesterday and this morning led to grandma going home. We did not take her she called one of her brothers and her nephew. Told them both if they did not come she was calling the police as we were keeping her prisoner. They got here and tried to reason and talk her out of it to no avail. She said if she could not stay by herself she would sell out and go to a nursing home but she hated us and would not stay 1 more minute. Her dr is useless and told us if she would not willingly go to a nursing home she had to be back in the hospital before he would put her in one. Fine, I give it a week before she is back in the hospital or worse. He also said he could not legally stop her from going home and if she called the law he would have to side with her.

I'm so sorry. I'm sure there are things that could be done but I have no idea what.

You took good care of her while she was there. Let her be her brothers problem for a little while.

This might be wrong, but I’m screening “Young Frankenstein” for me and Xzit. It’s a classic, so I hope that she appreciates the comedy.

(This will be easy, she has her own corn )

When she left she told me and mom in front of everyone that she did want to see either one of us again and we were not welcome down there anymore. That may change in a few days I hope. After she was gone I made something very clear to mom, I was not willing to try to keep her here anymore, it was a nursing home from this point forward. Tomorrow would have made 3 months she was here. During that time I have dropped 32lbs, my blood pressure is elevated and the constant stress has had my own blood sugar levels ping ponging. There have been some days where I have ate nothing and can not get my blood sugar levels down and some days I cannot keep it up into normal range. My doctor even put me on a new medication to help deal with the stress and I can tell it is helping a little but there is no magic pill to make everything better. After she left I went out and grabbed Branch. Me and him laid on my bed and watched 2 episodes of Dr. Pol together. That little rooster snuggled right up to me and did his rooster purr the entire time.

It is a true blessing to have wonderful animal companion you are actually very blessed.

I swear they can sense when you need them! I know my dog and my previous cat absolutely could...and I think chickens that we are close to can also. ?maybe I am anthropomorphizing a bit?....but Truffles (my previous kitty) absolutely knew when I was at my limit and she would come over on her own and snuggle. I am sure Branch can tell at the very least that you are stressed.

I took an intermission to put the other chickens away. So far, Xzit isn’t squawking about the movie. If this was Jaffar, he’d want to see “Cry Macho” or some WW2 Marine corps movie. But he’s a roo, so…..
