Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Sleep, or blow bubbles in bed!

This is shocking so I'll say up front that my Dad is not a softie. I had a beautiful long haired cat as a child. It lived inside and outside as we had the farm, so to speak. One day the cat just disappeared. My brother and I searched for days trying to find the cat. Walking over over the hills and woods calling her name. We never found her.

Last year he decided to tell me that he took my cat out in the woods and shot it because it was killing rabbits and leaving them on the stoop. He liked to hunt rabbits.

My Dad was not a nice man. "Is" might be a better word than "was". Why tell me now?

Sad tax

Oh no! How sad, it sounds like you father was raised in a different time, a time when life was rough and those of an animal was of no consequences.

It’s a testament to how far our culture has come in such a short time, I would hope that the majority of people our age these days would not be so callus.

I am so glad you have your moggies now, and your chooks

Well that's.......something.
Snow is very rare in the Mojave Desert, and cold temperatures like that? Even rarer, even though last year my Valley got an inch of snow. It's been happening more often since 2021. But.........

I’ll send you all my snow whenever you want it!

I have decided next summer that I will paint a dinosaur motif in the Hen House to go with our little velociraptors nature

Here you go - a great image of a velociraptor to paint from:

They have found evidence that they had rudimentary feathers

Thank goodness they have been somewhat domesticated - they really would peck your eyes out!

Someone laid a huge blue egg, I posed it next to a first time pullet egg.
