Back in..

JJ is the godfather of my Birds, Ethel is the godmother and that was reinforced today. Remember I said I picked Ethel off the roost. Well, that was a bad move it ticked her off.

When I went back outside she was back up there. She looked down at me and gave me a dirty look that said "You better leave me up here, Bellybutton!"

Of course I did. I checked for eggs no eggs in the layers.

I then went to Bert Junior's girls. One egg in the nest! BTW those CX's lay huge eggs. They are averaging 2.35 ounces! I now have 4 toads to go into the incubator..

I put the CX egg into the carton and went to check the Creamettes. All the Creamettes were on the roosts. There were two shiny diamond encrusted eggs in the nest boxes. I picked them up and placed them in the carton but had not closed it yet..

I have a double man door on the creamette coops so they cannot esc ape to the outside. I failed to close the outside man door. My pup decided to see what was going in inside the coop and pushed the second door open with her nose. We all know what meek mild sweet demeanors the Creamettes have. This was enough to cause one to fly off the roost. Claws first into my face, then slide down my face drawing blood the whole way.

It then flew into my hand knocking the two diamond encrusted eggs to the floor cracking them into little pieces. She then flew back up to her roost. I was sure I heard her say " that is from Ethel"....

I am now afraid to go into the coops.


When I got into the house, my DW asked me what happened to me, when I told her I was attacked by a creamette she laughed at me. But she did dab the blood off my face.

I can't help it, I laugh at others' misfortunes, especially if it is physical slapstick!

1. Rhetts, you need to get a Moocall Calving Sensor or two. Then you can be alerted within an hour of when your cows will calve.

2. Ralphie, you have me beat on the generations in residence thing. I am only a fourth generation resident of NE Minnesota. My ancestors were among the pioneers to settle Carlton County. One fact of note is that my Great Grandfather was killed and partially eaten by a bear.

3. Bogtown, is your thinking related to a younger male husband/companion due to concern that as the current model ages he may be unable to keep up some of his husbandly duties?

1. Wait, what?
2. Holy bear batman, what? that is nuts!
3. Hahaha

I like the name Loretta. In fact there is a cow named Loretta. She is one of the few cows I trust not to kill me if I get in a pen with her and baby.
She is the momma in the pics.

She is lovely, and the baby is super cute!

I guess thats the battle thats going on inside me... Lol my grandma always told me thats what was happening to her with her pain til i was old enough to understand she had cancer and not just a cold

Saw a timber wolf on the highway tonight picking up the kids after BB practice. He seemed small. It's a spot where I've seen them before.

Sadie gets spayed tomorrow Am. So I need to have her down in pine river at the crack of dawn. She is limping tonight. It's been months since the last episode so I think it is just a result of her 'pouncer cat' activities. She will literally arch and leap off the deck instead of using the three steps. I can't give her a baby aspirin because of her little surgery tomorrow-- and extra bleeding. Feel bad she's holding that paw.

Good luck at the vet tomorrow! Poor girl. I hate when dogs hurt their feet. Theu just seem so down and stare at you all day with big puppy eyes!

Timber wolves are nothing but trouble!! They cause so much damage on sheep farms. Up by Goodridge there is a guy with giant LGDs so they dont dare go his flock. Those dogs would tear them a new one!

 

[Bogtown Chick]

Thanks holm. She won't be feeling anything tomorrow am so hopefully this will just go away for her.
