Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I forgot to mention, that Sir Jaffar’s age is estimated at 8 years old. I’m amazed by this. The veterinarian also said that chickens don’t live for ever, so be prepared if he happens to pass some day. With a tear in my eye, I said thanks.
But he’s alive today, and honestly, no one is promised a tomorrow.

How are you, your grandmother and family???

Rosie is sick, I suspect strep throat, or a horrible sinus infection. Everything is starting to bloom and she is highly allergic to just about every dang tree that is native to Kentucky. She has a dr appointment this afternoon. My grandmother is slipping away. She has been in a comatose state for 24 hours now. Her heart rate and blood pressure that had been slowly dropping are now rising and getting higher each time they are checked. We sit with her and talk to her but no response other then moaning when me and mom change her position or change her. This is both of ours first experience with taking care of someone at home in the dying process. I have untolds amount of respect for those workers in a hospice and healthcare setting that deal with this on the daily basis. This is breaking me. 2 years now, today makes 2 years since she had the stroke and mine and my mom's life became centered around her every need.

And I deeply respect both you and your mother for caring for your dear nan. Many would walk away. She is so blessed to have you by her side and to have the comfort of your loving voices while you take such good care of her
Please convey my best regards to your mother. Sending you my love Rebecca

Hold strong my friend and please find time to have little breaks to recuperate your energy.

You WILL be getting your own life back.
I have had the experience of witnessing many family members passing on.

@RebeccaBoyd, No words can express my admiration for you. So I'll just send hugs.

This is Little. She is one of my 3 original pullets, and was hatched 4 years ago today.

Happy Hatchday, Little, Middle, and Lark.

It is very, very hard, and you are unbelievably strong - don't let it break you.
We are all thinking of you, and of course wishing Rosie a rapid recovery - poor girl she really has a tough time with her allergies and sinuses.

Fish and chips is fast food too!

It's a rare thing for me to have fish and chips now. When I arrived at this current home after losing an incredible amount of money. I had little choice but to grab whatever I could but not now.

You can't imagine what I lost, (,i try not to think about it) possibly enough to have bought my own home. All thanks too evil minded nasty people.
I was lucky too still have my life and my precious dog.

The Financial loss would never have replaced my whacky dog, if I had to make a choice it would be him every time.
