Hi Finnie! Neither. I was trying to get him to go outside. Grabbed him, he was pulling one way and me the other. Lost my grip & slammed into the door jamb. He had started this new trick. Asks to go out....then backs away from the door. I got annoyed

Finnie....my sister has had dachshund for years. They are a trip. Little twerps! Potty training is usually an issue with them!

Clever hen. She was trying to psych you out. Aren't hens the best?

Virus surge here again. Closing up shops & bars again. Folks asked to stay home. Have to wear masks everywhere. Discontinued Daisy's strolls again. She's just to tempting for the neighbors
They all seem to take comfort hugging that pudgy hen. Even those who never hugged her want hugs. I just can't be around folks right now. I'm so tired of this. I really wonder where it's all going. I'm lucky....my neighbor goes to the grocery for me.

Mine love their little pools. Add a fan & they'll hang out there all day. Ralphie...I use round 3 inch deep terra cotta plant trays. They are about 14 inches round. Easy access. Not unusual to see them laying in one.

Flash...once a turkey figures out a wading pool it's hard to keep them out of one. It's kind of funny to look out & see your birds all standing around soaking their big ole feet. The pools sure help when our heat index is 110. Daisy has been trying to sneak into the house. I finally let her into the kitchen for a few minutes. Only to find her standing the dogs water bowl. Gotta love a turkey
