What a couple last days! How's everybody been? I'm not reading back so I hope everything is great! The pups from Germany hit KCI (Kansas City International) on Thursday night at 9:45pm. We went up early in the afternoon to shop a little bit, eat dinner and check into a hotel. Picked the pups up and went to the hotel. We didn't get into any big hurry making the 3 hour trip home yesterday either. Kinda nice for momma and I to just getaway for a bit. Anyway, busy getting caught up around here since it is so nice we decided to invite some friends over for the fire pit and drinks tonite. Well, fired up the smoker to throw a "fattie" on. It's a pound of hamburger, pound of spicy breakfast sausage mixed together and flattened out. Then onions, cooked bacon, jalepenos, pepper jack and spread onto the meat. Then roll it up and basket weave bacon around it. It'll smoke for a couple hours and then brush BBQ sauce and cook until it is done. Might do some deep fried deviled eggs too if I don't drink too many Bud Lights before everybody gets here.
I'll go get a few pics of the pups here in a bit. They are enjoying being outside right now.
I'm the teen leader of a Shotgun club for 4-H, I just finished a class where my shoulder all beat up, shot over 100 rounds in total, helped everyone out by shooting once for them and other things, and shot 8 10 gauge bullets. Those hurt! Most of the bullets were 12 gauge.
Ok here is Catie and Crissy. From the last pics I showed while they were still in Germany, their ears have flip flopped. Chrissy's are now standing up and Catie's are flopped. They'll go through this the next 6 months.
Got the new pond to a point that we could move the fish back in. It is now twice the size it originally was. And the waterfall is just outside the left side of the pic. I'll get it 100% one one of these days. We also put in new pumps/filter/heater for the pool and moved them out by the fence so after the indoor/outdoor kennels are done, I'll put a building around them.
So culling is definitely the hardest thing for me to do I think I am going to have to tell my friends to quit bringing me their beautiful roosters they need to learn to do it themselves ... I don't have a problem with my meat birds cuz they never get beautiful
My update 2 incubators all clean and ready for the next go round... 41 eggs going in this evening... Last hatch all 10 still alive and doing well
