Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Good news on my upstairs neighbour. He's completely stopped smoking that smelly . I'm so impressed he stopped weeks ago and he's really looking out for us down here. My fire alarm went off last night and he was down right away checking that everything was okay

Let me know when you get here. I’ll set up the table with my best service and valuable tea.

Wouldn't that be just wonderful

Stay off the Coco!

Definitely not. I drink that most nights. If I had one tonight I wouldn't have ate the sickening chocolate bar

I am a complete chocoholic and I could totally eat a big chunk right now!

I'll be making them something to snack on here in a bit, but they were not happy about coming out this morning!

Ah so much white stuff! Is this their first snow of the season?

The vet here did give Peanut a liquid knock-out medicine by mouth first, but that just put her into some sort of sleep. It took a couple of minutes for her. She then used another med by a vein to actually euthanize her. We waited until Peanut appeared to be truly unconscious and the vet said to not wait long after that because the sleep is not a normal sleep and if you wait it can feel distressing to them.

They usually give them a muscle relaxer before the euthanizing meds; as much for the people as for the pets. The muscle relaxer prevents the 'death tremors' that accompany the passing of the animals. Pretty much every animal does it - just varies how much - chickens have a lot of movement as they pass versus, say, a dog.

Edit to add: When our dog Bandit needed to be euthanized, that is what our Vet. did. He was given enough muscle relaxer that he was asleep from it. But, he was also very weak and sick - so I have no idea about the dosage, as I don't think it would have taken a lot to put him to sleep. Regardless, it is common practice here in this state for small animal vets to do that. Less traumatic for the pet owners/lovers.

Tomorrow, I will be doing touch and go landing practice with the SkyHawk. I believe that I can do a full landing on 800ft of runway. The manuals say 1000ft minimum but they don’t know my plane like I do.
The ol lady has it where it counts, behind the stick!
