Oh lord! Good way to keep her puppy lips off stuff for sure Henny but between her and the other girl I bet it sounds like you're raising werewolves in your house. And i'm guessing you have to say "leave it" quite a bit right now.:lol:

lol for sure!!! It gets loud when all that is going on.
Tilly gets all sassy when she is fighting sleep. Like a 2 year old fighting a nap. :rolleyes:

After her round of crazy baying she plopped down on the giant foot stool and dozed off.
:yesss:
 
The joys of having a hound dog, they really are like a saggy toddler that never grows up.:lau

Went out to lunch the derps and give them the oatmeal left from yesterday and Ethel is in the coop "percolating" and scratching around in a nest. Dutch is just strolling around with the rooster, both the speckly girls are really fond of him...little hussies.:)

Girl the tiny calendars were 6 bucks! I did spend almost 10 because I can't see the little ones.
Selection was bad there too, no chickens, lots of cats and dogs, TWD, and John Wayne. I got the last bad art one, January is "chicken in the kitchen". :)

The one I got was $5. I put it on the kitchen wall so I like something a bit bigger than the small ones. They had some pretty ones, but nothing that I really liked. Kinda disappointed at the selection. Lots of horses and birds and nature stuff though.

They only way my kids will be cleaning my in-laws space is if they work out a deal to get paid X amount for Y jobs or if they are visiting and make a mess of their own.

My kids won't be "there to serve" but they are a part of the family and will have to take part in the duties that come along with being part of the family.

It's good to have a plan. I should have expected it, but didn't. It was fine until I ended up living w/ them. It was easy to fall into to the 'helping' part by sending them to fetch stuff b/c she didn't want to get up, then it escalated from there. Little kids are really eager to help. Then it got to the point where my kids were in daycare all day and we'd come home and my mom would be watching my brothers' kids and they'd go home and my mom would expect my kids to clean up the mess that was left behind from their cousins. That's not their job. It's one thing to bring them the phone from the other room, and it's another to get roped into picking up their trash b/c 'Oh can you grab that for me? And that too. Oh, and....'
 
I like this one better than the one I accidentally tossed, it was wildlife, outdoors, hunty type stuff. I would have looked at a sad groundhog for a month but wouldn't have liked it much.

It's amazing how many people still think you need roosters (or hormones) to get eggs.....

I'm a "crunchy" person who doesn't like a lot of the practices of the animal oriented food operations, but even I know that isn't true.

It really is amazing the lack of knowledge about where/how food comes from and to us.

I had a college educated person tell me "you cannot eat a hens first eggs. They are full of yucky stuff." . A week later he asked me how on earth I got eggs with no rooster.
:th He got educated about eggs.....I bet he never ate another. :gig
 
Ethel is a "very upset, clingy, confused" woman!:woot
It is really round, and she swarmed me just talking her head off like "Mom! Something fell outta my butt!"
Two more to go!

I'm glad I got started on homesteading before my kids were 5-6 and older. DH and I have friends who got started with Quail. The kids were fine with the eggs, but refused to eat the meat. Then they got rabbits. Their oldest daughter, who is 8-9, was REALLY traumatized by that. I'm giving them some of my pullets in the spring.
