oooookay... tried to cook something new, I did say "tried". LOL

Here is a bunch of great egg recipes that was attached to the deboning video Bee put up. I tried this first recipe with my own personal twist in it. It is in the oven now. We shall see if it is edible... or if the dogs get to try something new. If it's the latter, let's just not talk about it. hahahaha

You've got a point with that one.....similar genetics do not insure intelligence and heart. 

Yep yep yep. lol

Here's another sad bit about Jake...Mom went up to get him for his walk and asked him about "his chicken" and he went over to Fanny carcass and put his paw on her and moaned. When they came back Mom put her hand down like she was going to get his chicken and he put is mouth on Fanny and whined as if to say, "Yer not takin' this shicken, are you??? She's MINE."

Poor ol' pitiful Jake.

Got to tell you guys a Jake story. The other day when I killed Fanny he stayed far away and was giving me "the look". He paced and was agitated, finally went and laid down at a distance. Her carcass was thrown over in the usual spot in the woods...he immediately went and examined her. Today he has moved her carcass to near the coop and has laid next to it all day...he is still laying there as I type this. Occasionally he'll stand up and sniff or nudge her, then lay back down.

It's funny because all the cheap meat rooster's carcasses he has systematically brought them into his "den" this winter and slowly gnawed on their parts until only the feathers and bits remain. He had brought Toby's carcass in to his den and didn't touch it. Would just lay next to it each day. I finally had to take it away and burn it. We cleaned out our burn barrel the other day and disposed of the ashes and things that didn't burn well over in the appropriate space in the woods. The next day I went out and there was Toby's crispy carcass in the yard...Jake had brought him back, right where Fanny is lying right now. Up by the coop, where Jake apparently feels they belong.

He won't eat one of his own chickens but he will continue to guard them, long after death. Now, tell me that mutts can't be livestock guardian dogs because they don't "bond with the flock".

I put Toby back in the burn barrel to see if I can this time reduce him to something that Jake no longer feels needs to be back in the flock.

Oh my BF.......had to look for this post.........with my heart.....it's definitely breaking.....what a loyal and kind dog! Geesh.......

I know, I know........but still....that just touches ones heart for goodness sake...............

I love my kitty Sage. He's such a sweet boy!!!

Dwwwwaaaaa! I love my cats, too. One of them was hugging my neck and purring and I had my hair back, so she was tickling my ear. I thought I'd invented a new word, "kittle" as in "Kita, you're kittling me," but that's already a word.
