Granny's gone and done it again

Well I did not get the banana bread made but did make pound cake. To much chicken drama today to do much baking. We lost one of the older pet roosters to an unknown illness. Sammy had been sickly his whole life. He had splay legs as a chick so I fixed his legs and he bonded to me. He and 2 buddies were allowed to live in a small coop near our porch and became known as the Porch Pirates. Sammy was the smallest, Buddy in the middle and Hector the biggest. We let them free range during the day all last summer. Hector started to get aggressive so we put he and Buddy into a small rooster coop and Sammy in with a few small hens. Sammy would come to me everyday to see if I had treats and allowed me to pick him up and get cuddles. I noticed Thursday afternoon that he wasn't acting right so I brought him into the infirmary for special treatment. He was dead this morning when I went to check on him. I have to admit I cried like he was my baby.
So sorry about Sammy. I have a little silver duck wing bantam rooster that when his time comes I'm going to be a mess so I know how you feel. DH is always telling me, think of them as livestock. Nope, they aren't all livestock. Some are pets and those are the ones that hurt when you lose them.:hugs
 
:frowIm a someone! I think it has finally stopped. I hope. Now comes the bitter cold? Umm.. I thought its been here for a couple days now.
I was thinking it was you but I was to lazy to search for it I'm tired of the cold now already! I hope they are wrong and a warm wave comes along this week!!

Very sorry for your loss.

Sounds easy enough thank you.

they were eaten

Ya, Ill wait for someone else to try that. lol

You win! Last I heard this morning there was 11in. but its still coming down
They made such a fuss about it and I remember different times growing up that we had more then this
 
We haven't been urging Pi to go outside. Bless her little heart, she goes to the door and whines when she has to go but by the time we get boots and coats on it's too late. Today the sun was out so we tried to get her outside a couple of times after DH had plowed a clear area for her. Naturally she ran outside, avoided the plowed area, ran into the deepest snow which is taller than her belly and squatted there. Told her that if she kept doing that she was going to freeze something important.

But strange enough, our suspicions about her origins just keep looking more and more likely. She knows what eggs are. Grabbed one out of the container I'd used to gather eggs and took off with it. Tried to bite it but wound up breaking it and dove at it like it was a thick juicy steak......like she has been hunting down eggs in a barn since she was old enough to totter around. She also is lactose tolerant. LOVES milk. No barfs no runs, guzzles it down like she has been given milk fresh from a cow since she was weaned. I told DH animals will tell you their story if you listen to them.

Feel better, Granny. Not fair feeling bad on your birthday. I'd demand a redo!

Not to worry too much, Chick, have you forgotten? Our Granny gets another birthday in February! Then again in March, and in April, and, and, and .... :lau
 
I'm sitting on the floor in front of the heater with a lap full of bones. DH got some bone marrow bones. I keep the bones for awhile, it's good past time for the puppies. Betty drags then all in my lap and sits on them while she chews on one. Yes Microchick, the dogs do tell their history. She learned that while running with the big dogs on the farm

I have always wondered about Frosty. She was about 2 when I got her and not in good shape. She will not come when called and she knows her name. She will go to a corner and shiver. When it comes to flea meds or giving her a treat, it doesn't matter
