Here's what's up lately:

1. PIC has been sick. Like, really really sick. Got him into the Dr; he is on Keflex and a very boozy smelling expectorant, cause whatever he has has settled into his chest and decided it wants to live there for awhile.

2. Super Tater DH is already going through work withdrawals, and he hasn't even started his retirement process yet. He's pretty much completely *checked out* in the work department. Plus, I think he's a little depressed about it. His unit will be out training during the time he will be turning in all his paperwork and clearing post, so basically no parties, no fanfare... just *wipe ya feet on the way out and don't let the door hit ya where the good lawd split ya*........

3. Mom is coming for her yearly visit. SHE wants to stay for at least 2 months.... Oh dear.

4. Did I mention THE PUPPIES?!?!? We got puppies.

Yeah, there's that. I DID tell the boys they could get a couple of puppies when STDH retired.... so, here they are. We took home 3 to see which 2 would *fit* the best.

We have decided on the single boy, the white one, who we named (David) Bowie Bleu. and the black one (the runt from a separate litter), and named her Twilight Dreaming. The Brown one, we were calling Poppy Cox... and it's a shame we can't keep her... but she is too much of an Alpha personality, and doesn't do well with submitting to the older dogs.... PLUS I didn't want puppies at all PLUS blah blah blah. To be honest, if it was JUST the puppies, we'd keep all 3, and Poppy would more than likely be the lead dog.... but Wolf is already or lead dog, so don't need an Assistant (to the) Lead Dog. (Anyone get that reference?!? :lau )

5. Our closest neighbors are moving, and they are taking PICs BFF.... so, dealing with those emotions. They sold their property pretty quickly, so we're very curious as to who will be moving in...

So, there's all that... OH and my skin procedures as well.. which has been cutting (no pun intended) into my work out and swimming time this summer..... I'm verklempt!!!


Smuvvie!! I missed you!!!!:wee

OMG those puppies are TO DIE FOR.....:love :love :love I love them! They look like they have at least a *little* pit bull in them??! You are so sneaky, getting three puppies and not sayng a word!

Your mother is coming for TWO MONTHS....? Oh dear gods. You are gonna be drinking a very huge taterload of wine.

So good to see you back!:ya
 
@WVduckchick I see what you mean about them hatching darker. I wonder where the blue genes came from..... I guess we'll have to see how he grows out.

I'm not *exactly sure* about the black one, Twilight, but yeah... Bowie and Poppy are pitbull mixes. We discussed the possibility of taking in Pits, but I said ONLY from puppy. And, as these will be the last of the puppies (I SWEAR!!! Too old for this tater!), Bowie will be the only pit we'll have.

And, I've smartened up this year about my mom's visit.... I bought her ticket HERE... but not a return booking yet... that's so, if the visit needs to be cut short, I can THEN get her return flight.

Nice! :clap
I'm pretty sure my rooster was carrying one copy of blue, even though he didn't look like it. Its harder to see on the males, and I had so many, I could never trace the adults back to the baby pics to be sure. And I never got down to all chocolate hens to test with. Of course, I liked the mauve anyway.

Maybe one of the hens is hiding blue somehow?

I guess anything is possible, but I seem to remember the hens being more obvious, as their feathers would show lacing. I wish the gal that I bought mine from was still around. I might text her this evening. She had several colors, and barred ones too, and bred them for several years. I think I unsubscribed to the chocolate orp thread, but maybe check there too?

Looks like the search feature is broken.
