Oh boy! A mud puddle! The best. Up to their hocks in mud. They are enjoying themselves. I think that one is smiling. Makes me smile

She was on the back porch pecking on the door. I opened it to see what she wanted & she stepped into the kitchen. After about 5 minutes of her standing around I picked her up for hugs & escorted her back out.

The tri sounds like a Walker. Coonhounds are really sweet dogs. Wonder if they are chipped. Guess they could have been out hunting all night & got away form their handler. But more than likely they escaped. Somebody is looking for them

Yeah....maybe they'll hang out & help with coons! The brown brindle could be a Plot Hound or American English. Take a few pics. Would love to see them. You may become an accidental coonie owner! LOL Just let them patrol at night! Feed them....they may move in!!

Scrambled eggs for dinner tonight. Even the coonhound & turkeys got some. Big treat! I have to put Daisy's egg in a separate pan. She's a bit aggressive when it comes to an egg. I set her & her egg on a bench & made sure she stayed there till the others finished. She's so funny....kept looking up at me with egg all over her beak. Actually I had to wipe off everyone's beaks. They can be such a mess! Can't remember the last time I gave them an egg. I should do it a bit more often. They sure like scrambled eggs!

Bantambird... they'll head home at some point. Sounds like they are on a hound adventure! When they want dinner & need a nap....home they'll head.
