Morning Everyone,
Haven't posted in a while, been busy with a little opportunity I came across and I'm doing everything in my power to make it happen.DH and I were on the subject on dogs again a month or two ago and we have always said that our next dog would be a Great Dane. Since we're looking to buy a house of our own next summer, I of course started looking. I came across a breeder not too far from me and she actually has one pup left that was suppose to go to a show home but the woman backed out two weeks ago after asking the breeder if she could hold onto him until he was 3 mos old. She did and when 3 months came the woman who wanted him informed her that her working from home arrangement with her company wasn't going to be as often at home as she would like and therefore doesn't want to take in a dog that will be stuck in a crate all day. So this pup is 4 months old, house trained already, crate trained and I actually went to see him yesterday. So calm and mellow, didn't even attempt to jump on me. The mom was out when I came in. She just walked over to me, stuck her nose right up to my chin and walked away. Of course she was my best friend the minute I sat down and all she wanted was to be petted. Not over bearing tho at all. Some larger dogs just really push and push for attention, not these two. If I stopped petting them they just sat that, calm cool and collective. I am so in love with them. So we're going to get the pup. I'm going back to get him Friday. I need to go shopping this week for some things.
On the chicken front, no more attacks so I'm thinking of the loss of that blue sizzle was in fact a rooster fight. I keep seeing feathers all over the place when I go to lock up at night and it's driving me crazy. Are the roosters fighting? Are birds molting? Have I mentioned yet that I HATE not having them in my own backyard. You know what's so funny too is my landlord actually mentions all the time why not just put them right over there (as he points to the back corner of the yard when he's been here the last few times) and I actually have to remind him that they are just simply not allowed in the lake communities. And he agrees that it is just so bogus. So here I am living in a house yet again where another landlord would actually allow me to have them here but I can't because of these stupid lake community rules. Anywho, I still only have one egg layer - one of my Silkie/Polish cross girls. They've been on feather fixer for over a week now tho and I already see a big difference in Ella my blue Orp who was molting and Little Fella, her son who was getting picked on when we first came here. he's got little tail feathers coming in now, his neck feathers are in again after getting them picked out by the others, and he's about 3/4 the size of Stella already!! My lights seems to be working perfectly so hopefully Stella will pick up laying soon and maybe I can hatch some her eggs, although I don't think Kota, the new Spash roo has attempted to mate with anyone yet. Usually when I let them out the morning Elvis is the first to run to the ladies and do his little dance. Kota main concern is finding the water. As you can see from this morning, he wouldn't even let me finish filling the bucket up.
I hope we get lots of puppy pictures!!!
