Official Squatch Watchers

would mild competition stir up her appetite? We had a poor eater (pup) and we would threaten with his brother. "Here George," and push the dish near him.

Well George was not gung ho about eating either. Turned out both needed their tonsils out. Expensive puppies, then they both had "cherry eye," more $$$$ but, eventually beautiful healthy puppies.

Funny, I was holding George when the UPS man came to the door. When he heard me call the pup "George," he loved it. Could not believe I would name a dog that. He bought him and said he'd pick him up Saturday. He did. Easiest sale I ever made. Kept his
brother - who was the last dog I had, he lived for 14 years.

Got the kids put to bed, there was a hen fight between Ethel and Kim.
They're so small though it was adorable lol.
It was pretty serious they were fighting like men by god!
I ended up snatching Kim mid flog and putting her on the roost, it was getting dark and Ethel does NOT quit.
Oh Albert brought a freind home tonight, and its a negative skunk.
White with a black oval on it's back.
I wanted to take a picture, but that skunk might not roll like Al and i'd hate to find out the hard way.

Well I shoveled some. Freaking heavy!!! There is a very slick layer of slush under that snow so it sticks to the shovel.

It is still coming down hard!

Thats puuuurty! Feel free to smack me.

I have an older lady I help and her computer froze so she called Suddenlink about her internet (inet wasn't the issue!) and they told her to unplug it and plug it back in. She unplugged the power strip! Killer her motherboard. I tried everything I could think of. I never got a post screen. It was older anyway so she went and bought a new laptop for herself. Got her all set up and transferred her files & she's a happy camper. She was just happy to have her photos and everything back. She thought they were all lost.

My board is stupid crappy/finicky/hot garbagey.
This was board number 3 of the exact same make/model, im not crazy I swear.
My other things are all jam up and were bought for that board I didn't know it was sh*t on a stick at the time, it truly is though just looks cool.
It is just cheaper, easier, less soul crushing to keep a spare.
It has puuurty lights though!

I offer her food with the others getting food too. She checks her dish, their dishes and goes to lay down. Even involving the "hoover" River does not motivate her.
I know she is hungry when I offer her food but she flat out refuses. I then add hot water to her dish and blend it with my hand blender. That is what she gets in the syringe. She doesn't fight the syringe in the morning or evening.

Just gonna take time I think.
I have had hubs and son try to get her to eat since my constant pill shoving might be putting me on the shifty list.

I said it out loud too, so I totally deserve it.

Birds are closed in and all looking good. Their mash did not freeze in the big coop so they managed to eat it all.

Yes Chicky you earned that smack.

 

[CapricornFarm]

She is getting better!

Hopefully she will be eating on her own soon

That would be awesome!

That head spot is going to be interesting as she grows.

As they get older, each moult gives them more white feathers. I like that crest!
