Olivia half running, half flying along the wire in her rush to greet me!
So flattering. ​

Confidence is so key. My abysmal ignorance has had me dithering instead of acting on occasion because I didn't trust myself enough. I have absorbed the dictum: first do no harm...which by the way I've just discovered isn't actually in the Hippocratic Oath. Who knew...

The confidence gap is where a good vet can help. They're better at interpreting symptoms, they can do lab tests to confirm, and they know which medications to use. The best a new chickeneer can do is guess what's wrong and look up the medication. If the guess is wrong, so's the treatment.

Such a shame there isn't better access to avian specialists.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I feel such an idiot sometimes.

It's hard with any sick animal or person.

HAPPY CATURDAY, FOLKS! ​

Yay!! Caturday!

Blossom is being coy this morning, I'm reusing the pot photo from the other day

I picked the kiddies up from the boat ramp yesterday as their dad brought them over in his crabbing boat. Our inclement weather has all sorts of boats moored between the two islands all the way from the ferry terminal up the passage.

It doesn't look like the weather is going to break any time soon.

Rats. I was hoping you'd get a dry spell.

Meds, are the thing with the Vet, when what I have on hand isn't doing the trick. Some meds you can only get from the vet.

She's very happy with her newly discovered bed/plant pot! She says it's the perfect size and extremely comfy.
