Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LhickenChicken]

Just wanted to post about the wildfires in Alberta. Jasper is on fire

Hope @LhickenChicken is ok out there, jasper is at least a 4 hr drive from Edmonton area but I bet smoke is bad.

Smoke is really bad, last few days could hardly tell if the sky was blue or grey. Thankfully it rained and cleared it up a little.
It really sucks that Jasper is burning. But it is weird.. if you look in the footage of the fires, it is only the houses burning not the bushes and trees. I thought that was really weird.

That is really weird... I hope you all stay safe, I am sending prayers for all in the fire, thinking about the losses for both the animals and humans, is really sad.. I have heard something similar like that happend in Hawaii..

Yesterday the coop got a second roost, will get a pic later.
Alinta is not just done being a mom, she is totally over the chicks and is constantly chasing them this would be less of an issue if then didn't flee everywhere they shouldn't. The garden, outside the front gate, up ladders... Did i mention these girls can Fly ?
Happy fluffy butt friday

It has been a while since you have all seen Tony. Grandma, you've been taking the spotlight too much. Let Tony have her time to shine.

I must remember for future reference not to adopt a Malamute or Malamute mix! Just kidding really!

I had a Rottweiler puppy I spent time obedience training and voice commands with and without leash -- but his temperament was naturally so mild he looked forward to learning new things. His brothers from previous litters had to be muzzled, kept away from people or other dogs.

But my 120-lb gorgeous Toby was a natural beauty inside and out. We entered him in a dog food store contest 2 years in a row where he came in 3rd place one year and 2nd the next cuz the judges were impressed at how he rolled over on his back to let children scratch and pet him. A mother was frightened to see her toddler walk up to Toby to hug and kiss Toby and Toby gave the baby a nuzzle and let the baby do whatever it wanted.



I'm not sure if it was training or just that Toby was a natural sweetie but not all Rotts are the meanies people perceive about the breed.

I wonder how he would've been with chickens if we had them then?

I once was parked alone behind a theatre lot to shift my seatbelt and Toby was snoozing in the back seat. When a man approached my car out of nowhere Toby sprang to his feet and quietly I gave Toby a whisper command that I had never used before and he instantly gave out vicious snarling barking and the man turned from my window and ran! I thought Toby was a milktoast but with training and a bit of instinct he knew what was right to do just hearing my voice tone.

Rotties are dogs that live for work with signal and voice commands. It's no wonder they are good police canines. The sad note is that with many larger dog breeds they have shorter lifespans or develop bone dysplasia. My neighbor's huge Great Dane only lived 8 years

Love the fluffy feet on that fluffy butt

Had a lovely golden retriever who was just the best dog. But it’s so time consuming having a dog and these days the cost of Veterinarian care is too prohibitive.

The cat alone is a small fortune in vet hills.

And we shall not discuss my hen Petunia who cost me a small fortune also. But we have our pets so we must be prepared to spend money on vet care .
