I just put a new twist on break-dancing...and almost broke my ankle, face and arm in the process.

I went out and grabbed the chicken waterer- and was accosted by hundreds of chickens..seriously, there cannot be only fifty chickens- there has to be hundreds. I really have to get the banties out of here.

They were landing on me, being under-foot, almost getting stepped on, etc etc...so I rushed with a mob of chicken fans running behind me, into the house- got the door shut before any of them got in.

I filled one waterer, hooked the bottom on and rushed back toward the back door through the utility room (which is where my washer and dryer are)...and promptly tripped over a stupid body pillow that someone in my house thinks can actually be washed...went flying face-first toward the rabbit/guinea pig cage, managed to avoid that but at the same moment, dropped the waterer- made an ocean, slid, crashed..I DO NOT bounce well.
Im sure if there was a video of it, it would become the latest break-dancing moves ever!!! Something like "THE WORM" meets "The Twist"..

and just NOW....stepped over my big ole pitbull and he must of thought I was going to step ON him because he STOOD UP. And that sent me crashing into the front door.

Im not liking animals very much right now at all.

Sometimes I think my Dachshund is trying to kill me that way, he will be walking in front of me and suddenly stop. Like when my foot is in mid-air above the middle of his back.

Mom.. and it is not even 9 yet! Creating new dance moves before the day even starts!

Seriously, are you okay?

Im okay- I mean, Im not sure I ever was Okay...but I am okay, considering.

My ONE specific cat, SUSHI, does that- on purpose. She IS indeed trying to kill me.

Last night- someone asked how I was healing. I forgot who . Im sorry. I am doing much much better. For some reason, my bellybutton incision is still not quite right, but almost there. Bruising is finally gone. Cant call it bruising when its solid black, can we? Can we call it, "Mom-style bruising" or something like that? Regardless I am okay now. Thank you for asking.

My cat is much less subtle about how he feels about me. When I'm walking he trails behind me and actively tries to trip me by jumping forward and wrapping is arms around my ankle. Repeatedly.

Eeyore..Sushi does that, as well. She is the one out of the bunch that wants to kill me and wants to make sure that I know about it. She is the one who when you push her with your shin/foot (as in- I AM walking, best get out of the way) she will wrap her front legs around mine and bite me. (WHich then causes the human to either jump in the air or crash face first into the wall- which was her intent)..

She is the one that will sit on top of my little shelf-thing above my side of the bed and STARE down at me when I go to bed...open one eye, yep she is still there, still staring.........still plotting......

its NERVE-wracking......

Welcome EMAW. We are also new here. Moved after husband's retirement of 23 years service. The snow is not uncommon for this time of year typically, but this year has not been typical - easy winter with early warming.

Took a while to get thru all 230+ posts from the past day. I don't get a chance to hop back on throughout the day to keep up on all of the posts,, so it takes a WHILE to get thru them all.

Question - I have a batch of eggs in the bator. They went in on Monday. Today is four days. I candled when they went in, and was thinking of candling again this evening (day 4), again on day 10, and day 18 at lockdown. Still not really sure at what I am looking at, although there are some great pics on the incubation learning pages somewhere.

Any thoughts/suggestions on when is best to candle, or how often? Looking to all of you long time successful hatchers for some knowledge please.

Hahaha Mom2emAll! Twelve (my cat) doesn't stare from a shelf while I sleep. He jumps on the bed, lays between me and the dog and grooms the dog while staring at me. As if to convey "It's only a matter of time until I get the dog on MY side and then you're going to be in trouble". They already conspire. The cat jumps up on the shelf to pull the bag of pig ears down for the dog, etc.

OK, I've been lurking for a while again and haven't posted but I wanted to share a cuteness overload picture! These are some babies that were hatched out by another very nice family...I just love fuzz-butts!
