Ok, don't think I'm a bad or uncaring person. Yesterday DD#2 had a dentist appt and took meds to calm down, i.e., sedation. I decided to let her go down the stairs to the garage first, that way, my monkey brain figured, when she falls down the stairs, she won't take me with her. Well, she fell down the stairs, looking kinda like an octopus sliding down a ramp head first. She slid in to a mattress at the bottom, then her feet flopped over and she was laying flat on her back looking at the ceiling. I'm not totally crude, I didn't laugh about the whole octopus look for several hours, I did check to make sure she was ok, nothing broken or bleeding, etc., then took her to her appt, where she promptly fell up the steps. After the appt, we went to one of the batteries in the area and I took a nap while we waited till she could walk straight so we could go in without knocking anything over. She's bruised and sore, but she did get a good laugh about the description of her going down the stairs.

Did they give her the one that wipes memory for a day?

It is!

We are a great group of friendly, kind, supportive wonderful people!

Tell us a little about you. :)

Here is a bit about me.......
I am a 50 year old female. I love love love my critters.
I have 26 chickens, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 cockatiel, and one lovebird.
I worked many many years in manufacturing. Everything from medical devices to insulation blowing machines.
I have also worked in construction. That part sure helped when I built my chicken coops.
These days I am a homemaker. I take care of the home, pets and have started quilting.
Long term I want to be able to sell my quilts at craft fairs.

You really can't find a better group of people than this squatchy bunch.
:D

That was great!


OUCH! We need to get you guys all bubble wrapped. How are you feeling today?


Gift bags aren't lazy. They're better for the environment and can be reused. I make bags from wrapping paper for odd sized items that are hard to wrap, like shoes or stuffed animals. I used it this year to wrap my kids' boots. (I just tape the top flap down instead of using the hole punch b/c I'd have to FIND the hole punch.



Odin was sleeping on the edge of the nesting boxes before I got the roost up. He had a limp for a long time, but eventually got better.


There is something else, though I'm not sure if they're limited in when they can use it. The orthopedic surgeon told my mom about it when she got her hip replacement. Not sure if she ever got it b/c her other dr told her he didn't want her getting any additional treatments until her hip had healed completely and she had corrected her walking.

I hope it's not that other people aren't doing the catch and release thing and dumping them by you.


Olive sneezes periodically. I worried at first, but since it's not often I figure it's just coop dust. Have you look up in her nose? Maybe she has something stuck up there. I've used a qtip dipped in water to wipe dirt away from their noses. Sometimes when they're flopping around doing a dust bath the get dirt up there.

I love your turkey photo.


I'm proud of you for waiting til hours later to laugh at her. I would have been laughing as soon as she was found to be ok at the bottom of the steps. Next time instead of walking down the stairs have her sit and butt scoot down the steps, and crawl up the steps. It's more gross when it's in a public place, but you could always have her wear gloves on her hands so they don't get so gross.
