Naw Nicole, that's not stink eye....that's Leggs giving his mama his best, "You don't really think Barney is more handsome than me do ya?!?!" look!
He's gonna be awesome when he grows up Kathy.
And thank you for pictures of Mama EE and the girls!
I'm still shooting for Monday if at all possible. It's looking more and more likely all the time. Boy! I bet you'll be glad to be able to finally get them out of your hair and send them off to me, huh?
I managed to get the last of the fence line between the boys area and the main yard raised today. Just need to anchor the bottom end of it now. There's a bit more than a hundred feet of that to deal with. Thank heavens for the shared wall in the covered areas as it meant I didn't have to run into Spokane yet again for more fencing material! I'll post some pics of that whole setup once I'm all done and have the three boys in their new coop and run. I just know they're gonna love it!!
Loooooong afternoon in the field yielded absolutely NOTHING today!
I'm beginning to think the deer in this neck of the woods have perfected the art of shape shifting. All of those squirrels we're seeing are actually great big 12 point bucks in disguise! I just know it!!
Oh well....at least the valleys and draws are so beautiful this time of year. The Aspens are the most lovely shade of gold/yellow and set against that perfect color of blue sky that only October can produce.....*sigh*...... Simply breath taking!
Even if I knew for a fact that I would never tag another buck or bull for the remainder of my days, I think I would still go walking in the woods in October! It's just too perfect to pass up!
Cynthia, my apologies dear!
I've been completely remiss in my expressions of concern for you and your dear sweet girls. I hope for their sake, as well as yours, that their end comes swiftly and comfortably. I so hate to see the girls or you suffer, and I know how personally you take this each time it happens. It's the price we pay for loving our feathered friends so much. Even when they aren't our own bird. There are those of us who keenly feel the loss along with you.
Just know that you and Tom and all of your wonderful flock are in my thoughts and prayers. Always.
So, it looks like I'm going to have to hold off for one more night on treating Evie.
My next door neighbor has volunteer fire department training on Thursday nights and is therefore unavailable tonight to hold her down for me. DH won't help me after the last time I changed dressings and dug around in her foot some more. He didn't get squeamish or anything. I think he just hated having a hand in something that so obviously hurt and distressed Evie. She's on of his favorites as well you know.
Though he'll never admit it.
*sigh* So, in the meantime, poor little Evie has to suffer through one more night and one more day before I can get good help to assist me.
Which brings me to another of my endless questions: Aspirin. Should I give her say a half or quarter of a Bayer baby aspirin? As we all know, Aspirin will thin the blood. So, in light of how much cutting and digging I'm going to have to do on Evie's foot, would it even be advisable to administer such to her just before surgery? Or even after for that matter?
h: Your thoughts, folks, are not only appreciated, they are also very much needed!
Don't know what I would do without y'all to guide me and coax me along in these situations.
OK, once again, I've over stayed my time limit. Must lay head down to sleep.....4AM comes all too early!! Just three more days left. Dear Great Spirit, could you please bring a nice little six point to us tomorrow? He doesn't have to be monstrous, just legal sized! We'd just like to have some meat in the freezer that didn't come from a feed lot in Pasco!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
