It's very warm today, and sunny. I can always count on Gytha for sunbathing pics

It's rare that I catch anyone else doing it though!

Prudy was being a friendly not so little lady today and decided I my lap was a good napkin to get all the wet food off her face.

Aurora does that to me all the time.

Today is a day big day for Jingle! She has finally learned that I am not a giant evil scary monster out to get her! Only took 6 months but who’s counting.View attachment 3948779

That's just the best.

@BY Bob I told hubby you're trying to rehome Versace and he shrugged and grinned at me

Today is such a lucky day!

I'm dying from the dog pics. I really really wish I could have a dog... Someday! I'm determined! And another thing about dogs-

I didn't do Caturday yesterday. Here's a baby picture of Sasuke. How was he ever that small?

This needs cleaned. My grandma made it. I don't remember how long ago she said, maybe 50 years? She's been going through some old stuff and looking for things to get rid of (donate). I'm keeping some of the things because there's so much character in them, and because it feels nice to own things that my grandma has memories of and things that she made with her own hands

She made this for my dad when he was 13 or 14. Now he's mine! I need to clean him up and glue his shoe back together, and find a good stick for his wand. And he needs a good Discworld wizard name...

He's magnificent. She made a lot of dolls and things when she was younger. Very crafty lady

If he's the only wizard you have, must be Rincewind.

And afternoon visitors

Sherlock was instantly enthralled....not so much with the dog and the puppy that came also.

@ChicoryBlue the Tonka moved....

Gotcha!

She’s a chicken then.

I think you stole someone else's line.

PM me if you are really interested.

Friends I am stepping away from BYC for a few days.

I am so careful with my chickens. I watch where I step as they are always underfoot especially the silkies.

I went with dad to the store last night and was late getting home. Mom already fed the horses their grain and filled up the water. She did not give hay because a bale needed pulled down from the top. I went out to do it. I did not turn on the barn light and only took a head lamp with me.

I was not watching where I was going and I really was not looking. I stepped on Bunny. She was in front of the hay pile. I assume broody, but she had shown no signs of going broody. She did not growl or shriek at me when I got close like she normally would. She was also partially covered with loose hay. Bunny's leg is irreparably broken at the joint. I am sick over this. I've killed my hen. I cannot fix this. No amount of cage rest or splinting will allow it to heal is a somewhat useable fashion.

Bunny just turned 4 last month. She was one of the first chicks Holly hatched. Holly let me interact with them from the moment she hatched. Bunny was the house chicken. She was the one who grandma allowed to lay on the couch and she was the one who hatched on the couch. Bunny had many years left and because of me. Because of my moment of carelessness those have been taken away. I have no one to blame but myself.

I am so sorry Bunny. You deserved better.
