Great day! Spent it volunteering at the local refuge. Hiked a bunch and learned more. Afterward, we headed down to the dock to cool off it the water. It was 95 degrees all day.
But I love Texas anyway.
And I almost didn't get to have it. There was a party last night that I got invited too. Apparently it got pretty wild. I haven't heard from my friends who went.
I had a feeling it would be no good by what I heard beforehand about the person hosting it.
And I'm so frustrated with my mother right now. I'm giving my rooster away tomorrow, and my mother spent a good amount of today at the refuge(she volunteered with me) trying to convince me to keep him! He's never attacked her so she thinks he's nice. He makes her laugh when he runs (his legs are REALLY fluffy and it's actually quite hilarious...). She also thinks the hens are stupid and that he keeps them safe(which is kind of true.) She's half deaf and sleeps on her good ear, so she doesn't hear him in the morning's either. She thinks every one of his issues would be fixed if I let them free-range all day long. I'm sure he wouldn't mate the girls as often, because in the run it seems like he does it out of sheer boredom, but all his other issues would still be there.
He's still too aggressive.
I'll miss his crowing and I'll miss how pretty he is. I'll miss how he takes care of the girls when they're out, but I really have run out of options. I'm committed the rooster to this guy, and I don't want to back out.
Ack. I'm very frustrated. I was done with him, and now I don't know that I am.
I almost wonder if I should find a way to replace him? Are there good roosters that don't have to be handled everyday to be nice?
