Good morning all!! I still have a "broody" rooster!!

Seeing him sit on an egg just cracks me up. Perhaps he thinks he's an Emperor Penguin?? LOL. Today is a day filled with cake baking - so thankful it's still a bit cooler outside!! It should be interesting DD is a bit cranky today, so we'll see how the cake making goes. Anyone want a cute baby girl for the day?? LOL Fine, I'll keep her!!

Have a great day everyone...I'm off to burn the house down...I mean make some cakes...hehe

There are several local fairs in addition to the list and, of course, the state fairs. The problem is that you have to leave your birds there for several days at a time. I will not do that. Some feel fine about it, but I am over protective of my birds. I also don't trust people walking around barns at fairs that are NOT bird people and don't know what DON'T TOUCH means.

We now have a new LGD(Livestock Guardian Dog). Mom and I went and picked her up on Sunday. She growls/barks at anything new and completely ignores the chickens.

Does anyone remember seeing Pekingese on the LGD list.

Ok, maybe she should be called a LAD(Livestock Alarm Dog) since she is too little to protect anything. That is standard welded wire behind her. From that you can see she is about 6" at the shoulder. She came with the name 'Princess', but Mom has decided she is more of the 'Dixie'.

She has taken up with Dad and follows him everywhere while she is outside. When mom gets home Dixie becomes her dog again. This particular LAD is inside more then out.

She does not like me yet. Her first evening she was extremely nervous and I was the one that caught her to move her to section off the house. She gets half the house at night with access to Mom and Dad's room. I am on the other side with Tabitha . I call Dixie "Growl Butt" since she is still growling at me. She did let me pet her today, so that is a start.

Edited to add: We had Pekingese many years ago while I was growing up. I need to find the old pictures and scan then in. Except for the cream coloring on Dixie, she looks exactly like my 'King'. King got out and ran over on my 8th birthday. It was during the party and I haven't had another birthday party since. After King was Dusty, Little Foot, Cuddles, Lidia, Rowdy, and puppies every couple years from Cuddles and Little Foot. They made beautiful babies. Dusty, a rescue we made, was Little Foot's Mother. All have been gone for many years, but I will always love the breed because of them.
